1. JA:All cafe

Cafe, Korean

Seoul practically overflows with coffee shops. In Guui, there are plenty of options to meet your java needs, including JA:All cafe. JA:All’s interior is small, but the bright, airy atmosphere makes up for its size. Grab a magazine from a nearby stack and settle into one of the cushioned wooden chairs with a frothy mint mochaccino.

2. 3 Cafe

Cafe, Korean

The decor of 9.3 Cafe is rustic with wooden tables and chairs upholstered in soft tan vinyl. Silver metal snowflake light fixtures hang from the ceiling. On the menu, there’s a variety of beverages: espressos, frappes, lattes and teas. In some Korean coffee shops, the music blares making conversation a bit problematic, but at 9.3 Cafe, the atmosphere is quiet enough to power up one’s laptop and work on that travel memoir or get absorbed in a good book.
