Seoul's cafe culture is extraordinary — cafes here are architectural experiences as much as coffee stops. Hongdae and Insadong are packed with concept cafes, while Seongsu (Seoul's Brooklyn) hosts serious specialty roasters. Blue Bottle opened its most photographed store in Seoul, but local roasters like Fritz and Namusairo are the real draw.
