02 Huijak

Huijak is a popular cafe in Buamdong, Jongno-gu, known for its heart-shaped ceiling. Located right next to the Sanmotungi Cafe, Huijak is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee and take in the beautiful scenery. We recommend visiting in the spring or fall and grabbing a window seat for the best views.

03 Idorim Blot Coffee X Bake

Blot Coffee, an 8-time Blue Ribbon recipient, is a popular cafe known for its delicious vegan cakes. Located on the site of King Sejong's birthplace, Idorim is a unique cafe with a fascinating history. The name "Idorim" is a combination of King Sejong's given name, "Ido," and the Korean word for "forest" or "king," "rim."
