Tips
- Kakao Map, Naver and blogs all agree on 24 hours, every day. Naver, however, carries a Chuseok holiday closure notice, so it may close over major holidays such as Seollal and Chuseok. If you go during a holiday, check a map app first.
Yaksu · Places
Starbucks, Dongguk Univ. Station
스타벅스 동대입구역점A Starbucks right outside Dongguk Univ. Station Exit 3. It opens at 06:30 on weekdays, which is early for a cafe. A post describes a large shop split between a ground floor and a half-level up, used for adults' get-togethers, and an October 2026 post mentions finding a table for five in the evening. There is no parking.
Starbucks Jangchung Lounge R
스타벅스 장충라운지R점A Starbucks Reserve in a converted 1960s mansion (one review dates it to 1966). Many reviews say it is busy even on weekdays (a few say weekdays are better), and there is no lift, so every floor above the ground floor means stairs. It is about five minutes on foot from Dongguk Univ. Station Exit 3 or six from Exit 4. The basement and three floors are divided into rooms, and one blog thought its large sofa areas looked good for groups of six or more. Prices are at Reserve level.
Stripe Coffee, Yaksu
스트라이프커피 약수점A large brunch cafe about three minutes on foot from Yaksu Station Exit 5, with a toast-and-coffee morning set from 08:00 to 11:00. Blog posts call it roomy enough for groups of four or more, and there is a separate room. The front entrance has steps, but one post says there is a lift to the left of them for strollers. Reviews also mention the high ceiling makes it loud when it fills up.
A Twosome Place, Hwanghak Sindang Station
투썸플레이스 황학신당역점A Twosome Place on the ground floor of Hwanghak Acro Tower, about four minutes on foot from Sindang Station Exit 2, opening at 08:00 every day. A review says it is big enough that people chatting and people studying end up in separate areas. Ordering a drink gets you free parking in the building's car park. The toilets are outside the cafe, inside the building.
