Upon arrival we were slightly concerned we might not be able to get our decent caffeine fix each day to keep the wheels turning. We were somewhat surprised to find our assumptions were way off the mark.
Seoul is a coffee capital and we have been blown away by the number of cafes in the city, the ease of access to them, and the variety of choice. There are over 150 cafes within a 1km radius from our apartment. It is café Mecca, and we are now wondering how they all survive?!
A surprising bonus is that the coffee is good. It is fair to say the quality varies from café to café but that is the case in all cities. In general though you can have your fix of whatever your pleasure is and the service in every café we’ve been to is polite and efficient. (Café’s are extremely clean too!)
So, as we went for a walk this week, we took some photos of the cafés just on our block. It’s crazy we didn’t take pictures of them all, many of the outlets i.e Starbucks have one on each side of the same street! There are also a number of little cafes that we didn’t take pictures of but hopefully this collection will show you some of what is on offer to choose from….
Just a few of the cafes on our block
Cafe Drop Top has a great feel - average coffee though
Coffee Bean is in our lobby and at work - good coffee!
