Cherry blossoms in Korea are a sight to behold during the spring, with pink and white flowers painting the city! A quintessential spring activity is cafe hopping, specifically to cafes that offer a view of the blooms. Here are three cherry blossom cafes in Mapo-gu with a view of the flowers!
Claude Coffee
Claude Coffee has a clean and modern industrial aesthetic, making it quite cosy. Their floor-to-ceiling windows allow a full view of the cherry blossom trees and plenty of natural light.
Their menu is simple, with a signature Claude Latte (6,000 won) and Americano (4,500 won) plus bakes like housemade Cinnamon Rolls (5,000 won) and Tiramisu (6,500 won).
It’s also very accessible, within walking distance from two train stations: Daeheung and Gongdeok.
