Do you enjoy Starbucks? I often visit Starbucks not just for the coffee, but also to enjoy the atmosphere and relaxation. For those who enjoy Starbucks, here are some places I've personally visited:, Three Starbucks near Seoul with a special atmosphereLet me introduce you to .
1. Starbucks The Bukhansan Branch
This is a special Starbucks relatively close to where I live. Ever since Starbucks first opened here, Mountain View has been a hot topic on Instagram and other social media, making it a special place.
If you go to the outdoor terrace on the third floor, you can enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee while facing Bukhansan Mountain.
Features of the Bukhansan branch
Additionally, they offer signature menu items not sold at regular Starbucks stores, giving you the opportunity to taste special drinks, as well as sample a variety of bakery products and cakes.
And the first floor store has the advantage of offering a variety of Starbucks goods, so I recommend visiting when you have some free time.
In particular, please note that it is very popular, so it is not only popular with hikers but also with people from nearby areas who come to enjoy the view, so it may not be easy to get a seat on the outdoor terrace on the third floor on a nice day.
Also, the landscaping around Starbucks is nice, so it's a great place to take a walk around and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Parking information for the Dobukhansan branch
There are a total of 53 parking spaces available in the parking lot in front of Starbucks, and you can also use the Bukhansanseong Fortress Parking Lot 1.
- Starbucks parking fee: 1,100 won for at least 1 hour

Overall Review of the Dobukhansan Branch
It's become overly popular with hikers on Bukhansan Mountain and on social media, so much so that it's now teeming with people. However, the view is fantastic, and the bakery's delicious food is equally delicious. For Starbucks enthusiasts, this is a must-visit.
2. Starbucks Gyeongdong 1960 points
Located on the second floor of Gyeongdong Market, Gyeongdong 1960 is special because it has an old theater atmosphere that no other Starbucks can match.
This Starbucks, which resembles a theater from the entrance, is a Starbucks that was created by remodeling the Gyeongdong Theater, which was located in the old Gyeongdong Market.
Features of Gyeongdong 1960
Therefore, the interior is structured like a theater, with the front space where you order coffee being low and the back space where you drink coffee being high, making it feel like you are sitting in a theater drinking coffee.
And it is a place loved by many Starbucks lovers because it has bakeries and cakes that can only be tasted here.
There's another reason this place is special: they project the nicknames of those who order coffee onto the wall using a beam projector. So, many people have fun taking photos of their own nicknames.
Even on weekdays, the Gyeongdong 1960 branch is extremely crowded, making it difficult to find a seat in this spacious space. If you want to experience the unique interior and layout of the Gyeongdong 1960 Starbucks, I highly recommend a visit.
Gyeongdong 1960 parking information
Unfortunately, Gyeongdong 1960 branch does not have a parking lot.
Therefore, we recommend using the Gyeongdong Market Yakryeongsi Public Parking Lot. Park your car in the neatly organized Yakryeongsi Public Parking Lot and walk about five minutes to reach the Gyeongdong 1960 Starbucks.
Kyungdong 1960 Points Overall Review
The interior design alone makes it worth a visit, and the taste of the coffee you taste while browsing Gyeongdong Market is beyond words.
If you like Gyeongdong Market or have never been to Gyeongdong Market, I highly recommend you visit there.
3. Starbucks Jongno R Branch
Do you know where the largest Starbucks in Seoul is?
The Jongno R Starbucks, located in Jongno Tower, which until recently held the title of the largest Starbucks in Korea, became the largest Starbucks in Seoul with the opening of Starbucks The Yangpyeong DTR on July 24, 2020.
Features of Jongro R Branch
The internet is fast thanks to the 10-gigabit Wi-Fi. Actually, I didn't try connecting to the Wi-Fi myself because I had plenty of data.
But it seemed clear why so many people were working on their laptops in the spacious Starbucks. If Starbucks offered the advantage of being able to work leisurely on a laptop in a fast internet environment, there was no reason not to go.
The combined first and second floors boast a total of 300 pyeong (approximately 980 square feet) of seating, offering a variety of chair and table configurations. From two-person tables to stage-style, step-like seating, there's something for everyone!
Just trying out the various chairs and tables in the store would probably take more than a year of work.
Jongno R Branch Parking Information
There's an underground parking lot behind Jongno Tower. Simply present your license plate number at the counter to receive one hour of free parking. After one hour, an additional 1,000 won will be charged for every 10 minutes.
Jongro R store general review
For Starbucks enthusiasts like me, simply visiting the "largest Starbucks in Seoul" is worth it, but even for those who don't, this place is well worth a visit.
If you enjoy working on your laptop in a spacious setting, I highly recommend visiting. However, because this place is incredibly popular, it's best to visit during off-peak hours.
