Elevate Your Seoul Café Moment at Cafe Coin Myeongdong — Where Heritage, Dessert & Coffee Converge in Style
Nestled in the buzzing heart of Myeongdong, just steps from subway exit and street life, Cafe Coin Myeongdong offers a refined retreat for those exploring Seoul. With its careful blend of storied ambiance, dessert artistry and premium coffee, it’s a destination café worthy of slowing down for—especially if you’re one of the many travelers seeking a memorable stop amid Korea’s vibrant capital.
Upon entering, you’ll immediately sense the café’s character: dark wood interior, softly glowing lamps, and vintage-inspired furnishings that nod to a long legacy within this iconic district. The elevated setting invites you to pause—observe the people-watching below, sip carefully brewed drip coffee, and savour a dessert crafted with deliberate skill.
The signature dessert? The Belgium-style waffle—crisp on the outside, wonderfully light inside, crowned with velvety ice cream, fresh fruit and a drizzle of syrup that glistens in natural light. It’s designed for photo-worthy moments as much as indulgent bites. Whether you arrive solo, with a friend or in a group, sharing a waffle and pairing it with a coffee feels like a small luxury in the centre of Seoul.
Coffee at Cafe Coin doesn’t take a back seat. The hand-drip “Coin Blend” offers deep, refined flavor; the Vienna-style coffee features velvety cream topping; and for a distinctly Korean twist, the sweet potato latte delivers comforting warmth with a local flair. Each drink complements dessert beautifully, crafting a full café experience rather than a quick stop.
Beyond the food and drink, this café works beautifully for different kinds of travelers:
• Solo visitors can claim a quiet corner and watch time unfold above the lively street scene.
• Couples can linger over desserts and conversation, enjoying the relaxed rhythm inside.
• Groups or families can share plates, chat, rest and recharge in a space designed for comfort.
