ever since i got in south korea, i’ve been completely obsessed with the cafe scene in korea. there’s seriously one on every corner, and each one has its own vibe — some are cozy and quiet, others are super aesthetic and perfect for photos, and a few just have that feeling you can’t explain. i started this list to keep track of all the cafes i’ve either fallen in love with or can’t wait to visit. it’s for anyone who loves spending hours chatting with friends over iced lattes, trying out new desserts, or just sitting by the window watching the city go by. i wanted a little space to collect those “must go” spots that make you feel warm, inspired, and maybe a little romantic too. so if you’re cafe hopping around korea — welcome, you’re in the right place ☁️
