Seoul is filled with thousands upon thousands of adorable coffee shops. Many of them feel homey and we’ve adopted a few as our regular spots. One of our favorites in Seoul is Hoho Myoll Cafe near Hongdae. It’s stuffed with character – there are hanging bronze pots and pans, a VW van parked in the middle of the cafe and filled with a few tables and chairs for lounging, and notes and drawings covering the walls.
The menu is full of coffee and tea concoctions and quite a few delicious-looking desserts. Coffee classes are also offered – if you’re fluent in Korean.
There’s something welcoming and cozy about Hoho Myoll Cafe. There’s also a definite trendy vibe, since it’s so close to Hongdae, the college-town area of Seoul. Most of the time the cafe is packed with fashionable young Koreans so it makes for great people-watching. A resident cat wandering in and out also provides some entertainment.
I suggest the maple latte. Normally I find flavoured lattes way too sweet, but the maple isn’t too cloying at all, and it’s a really unique flavor that I haven’t seen elsewhere. If you’re in Seoul head to Hoho Myoll for an hour or two, and sit back with a good drink and some people-watching.
How to Get There
Subway: Sangsu Station (Line 6) – Exit 2.
U-Turn when you come up out of the station and walk down the street. You’ll pass a hot yoga studio on your right. Keep walking. HoHo Myoll Cafe is on your right.

Canadians love maple. Hahah
Haha maple does seem super Canadian 🙂
OMG I absolutely love this little shop. I have an Uncle that used to live in Seoul for about 6 years teaching English. I wonder if he’s been to this shop!
I wonder too! It’s pretty central. There are so many adorable cafes around Seoul.
This looks like such a fun little place!
It’s full of charm!
Love the photo of the maple latte. It looks very appealing.
It’s delicious. I’m craving one now!
I NEED that cup and saucer!! SO darling. This looks like an absolutely incredible place 🙂
Aren’t they cute! They’re all different and eclectic too.
Love your photography! Seriously, great job capturing the atmosphere.
Thanks, Mona!
Your pictures are awesome!! What a fun little place. What types of things do they teach in the coffee classes?!
Thanks for linking up, Brittany! 🙂
I wish I knew more about what they teach in the coffee classes! They have an actual certification course for becoming a barista. I always wanted a barista job when I lived in the US but they all required experience, so a “coffee class” is such an appealing idea to me!
So glad you joined us- love this place! 🙂 It’s beautiful – hope you continue the tour! I really enjoyed this…
Thanks! There are so many great coffee shops in Seoul it’s overwhelming. I’ll have to go snap some pictures of a few more.
