A Foreigner's Guide to Bojeong-Dong Cafe Street in Seoul, South Korea

The Bojeong-Dong Cafe Street is located near Suwon, a short subway ride to an area South of Seoul. Also nicknamed the Jukjeon Cafe Street, this area is filled with many boutiques, cute cafes, and plenty of foreign cuisines. Indian, Mexican, Italian, Vietnamese, and even some Korean - you can find it all within these few blocks. Below I'm sharing how to find it, and some of my personal favorites places to stop at while you're there.

My Essential Korea Travel Resources :
​There are a lot of travel companies out there, but some are better than others. After traveling to South Korea over a dozen times, these are my favorite websites and resources to help plan an incredible trip.

For flights, I recommend using WayAway or Hopper to compare the cheapest dates to travel to South Korea.

Car rentals, although not common in Korea, are best through Discover Cars - just make sure to have a copy of your international driver's permit with you!

I always use AGODA for hotels. They have an easy-to-use platform and tend to focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

To keep cell phone service, I always use Airalo’s easy to purchase eSIM’s (no installation required) - make sure to have NordVPN ready too while you surf random wifi connections.

For fun things to do, Klook specializes on tours in Asia, otherwise Viator also does the trick.

Just in case, Safetywing is the insurance I always use when visiting a new country.

Lastly, my essential packing list when traveling.

How to Get to the Bojeong Cafe Street

The closest subway station to the Bojeong Cafe Street is the Jukjeon Station on the Yellow/Suin Bundang Line. From here, you can head through the Shinsegae Department Store and then up the street into the Bojeong Cafe Street Area.

If you choose to take the bus, then honestly there are so many options you can choose that I won't list them all here. My best recommendation is to check Naver for the best route to take from your location to the Bojeong-dong Cafe Street/Jukhyeon Maeul Bus Stop or the Jukhyeon Maeul/Dankook University Bus Stop and walk the remainder of your way to the Cafe Area.

For your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes so you can easily explore the area, and an empty stomach to try some of the cafes or restaurants in the area! There are quite a few photo areas as well, so if you're planning to use your time there to stock up on some new photos, you might also want to keep your outfit in mind.

Places to Visit in the Bojeong Cafe Street in Seoul

To be fair, there are plenty of boutiques, cafes, and restaurants to visit in the area - and visiting them all (and eating at them all) would take a very long time. You can find a piercing shop, multiple photo stores, and even a place to try your hand at pottery in a guided class. However, after a few visits to the area, I've listed my current favorite places to stop below.

By Weight Secondhand Clothing - This unique clothing store sells all secondhand clothes, and only sells by the weight of what you choose! This is a fun way to get a few new items, and last time I visited it was 2500 Won for 1 Kilogram of clothing. They also have handbags, hats, and shoes! (무게로 보정동2호점구제의류)

Eco's Library Book Cafe - This Cafe has just as cozy of an exterior as the inside, with plenty of drink and dessert options. Their drinks can be quite sweet, but their bingsu is one of the best traditional desserts that you can find without any of the fluff and extra sweets that many others now have. (에코의서재북카페)

Damsot Yongin Bejeong Branch - This sit down restaurant serves traditional Korean food with a modern twist. I highly recommend getting one of their bowls (the garlic, steak, and salmon bowls are all delicious) - and my favorite part is that they serve each meal with a small yogurt for dessert. This restaurant is quite popular so chances are you might have to wait for a bit, but it's worth it! (담솥 용인보정점한식)

Haru Muni Cafe - In my personal opinion this is one of the cutest cafes in the area, and I love their twist on flexible seating. I got their chocolate latte and it was rich and delicious, and not too thick like others I've had. They also have a few dessert options like french toast. (하루무늬카페)
