About this spot
This Insadong Starbucks offers a quiet escape from the tourist crowds with its traditional Hanok architecture and curated selection of Korean-inspired pastries like the red bean croissant. While the coffee is standard, the real draw is sipping an Americano on tatami mats while watching local artisans walk by in the historic district.
