Seoul Forest Cafe Street is a hidden gem located right next to Seoul Forest (park) in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. It is conveniently accessible from 2 subway stations (i.e. Seoul Forest Station and Ttukseom Station) with an easy walking distance of 4-6 mins.

Compared to the more well-known cafe streets of Ikseondong Hanok Village which has a traditional atmosphere and Seongsu-dong Cafe Street with industrial vibes, Seoul Forest Cafe Street is beautifully charming with a good mix of unique speciality cafes, restaurants, prop shops, fashion and accessories boutiques along the streets.

Many of the cafes and restaurants are hugely popular with the locals and some with good window/terrace views of Seoul Forest's nature scenery.

The best way to explore Seoul Forest Cafe Street is to start from the first shop (i.e. the bright pink Samo Ondoh Flagship Store) along Seoulsup 2-gil if you are coming direct from the nearest subway stations; or Gate 4/5 if you are coming from Seoul Forest.

This lovely street stretches about 440m long with shops/restaurants on both sides. Two other streets (i.e. Seoulsup 4-gil and Seoulsup 6-gil) run parallel to it and certainly worth exploring as well.
