Maxim Plant is a large cafe in Hannam-dong whose floors are each styled with a different mood, so it is worth choosing your seat before you order. Large windows let in plenty of light, and the layout invites you to stay a while with a drip coffee or a signature drink. The menu also lists desserts and light bites.

Photo opportunities are everywhere, and staff are used to visitors with cameras. Prices are above average, and weekend afternoons can bring a wait for a table. Card payment is accepted.

Because cafe concepts change quickly in this neighborhood, check a map app for current hours and menus before you travel.

Getting there

Hangangjin Station (한강진역), Line 6, is the closest. Use a map app to find the cafe, roughly a ten-minute walk.
