Songridan-gil Cafes 송리단길 카페
Seoul · Jamsil & Songpa · Cafe
Songridan-gil is the nickname for the cafe lanes that run along the south side of Seokchon Lake. Small restaurants, dessert shops and cafes occupy low buildings along narrow streets, and the area feels more like a neighborhood than a tourist strip. Many cafes serve pastries, brunch plates and handmade drinks, and a few have terraces.
Because the cafes are small, they can fill at weekends, and a few ask for one order per person. Some places close one day a week. English menus are mixed.
Hours and prices may change, so check the map before you set out.
Songpa Station (송파역), Line 8, or Seokchon Station (석촌역), Lines 8 and 9, is about a five-minute walk.
