Looking for Instagrammable cafes with some serious WOW factor? I have visited hundreds of cafes across Korea and found the 10 most Instagrammable cafes beyond Seoul.
Visiting Cafes Beyond Seoul
Here’s a list of my favorite photographable or Instagrammable cafes outside of Seoul. Yes, Seoul has many beautiful cafes, but so does the rest of Korea. While Seoul receives a great deal of well-deserved attention, Korea has so much more to experience if you venture further.
Cafe Culture In Korea
The cafe scene in Korea, much like the rest of Korea, puts the “extra” in “extravagant” and “extraordinary”. Much like a fingerprint, from afar, cafes may seem similar. However, once you take a closer look, you’ll notice that no two cafes are exactly alike. Many cafes in Korea set up Instagrammable areas. However, some cafes go above and beyond for those who like the “extra.” This is definitely the case with this list of visually astounding cafes for photographers and social media selfies.
How I Made My List
I’m a mom who does everything with my toddler. This means I visit cafes that feel comfortable with kids. This includes the Instagrammable Cafes. Maybe things will change with time, but when I visited with my daughter these options felt comfortable and enjoyable.

Dreamy Camera Cafe or Kkumkkuneun Camera in Yangpyeong – This cafe was featured in a July 2014 Buzzfeed article. It is not only filled with vintage cameras, but the architecture resembles a vintage camera. You can enjoy your coffee, as you admire the rural countryside through the lens-shaped window and consider your life goals. This cafe is small, so groups of 7 or more cannot enter together.

Mudae Theater Cafe / Moodae Black Box in Songtan – This is one of two cafes created by a musical actor and a stage director. After you order your drink, you sit in the auditorium-like seating area, while your barista, dressed in hanbok, prepares your drink on a stage. Sip and enjoy, as a misty fog covers the rock formations on the floor. Or, if you’d prefer another artistically picturesque vibe, ascend the steep steps up to the second floor, with yin and yang mountain murals, or the rooftop for a poetic view.
