Cafe 1938 sits in a house built in 1938, preserved and converted into a cafe that mixes a historical shell with a modern menu. The building reflects the early twentieth-century townhouse style, with wooden beams and a calm, homey layout. Coffee, tea and desserts are served in rooms that feel more like a home than a shop.
It sits between the Hanok Village and Gaekridan-gil, so it is an easy place to break a long walk. Prices are mid-range and may change, and the staff are used to visitors.
