Unveiling the Best Cafes
Starbucks Korea conducted a rigorous selection process, considering its 1,870 locations nationwide. The chosen cafes represent the diverse offerings and innovative concepts that Starbucks is known for. Among these remarkable destinations is the Bukhan River Reserved location in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, which stands out as the only Starbucks cafe that allows pets.

This cafe attracts a growing number of young customers who appreciate its unique retro vibe. In Daegu, the Daegu Jongno Gotaek location showcases the fusion of tradition and innovation by renovating a 100-year-old hanok, a traditional Korean house where customers can savor their favorite Starbucks beverages.
Over in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, the Chuncheon Mount Gubong Reserved location offers breathtaking views of the city, creating a serene atmosphere for coffee enthusiasts.
No top ten list would be complete without mentioning the renowned Ewha Womans University Reserved location in Seoul's Seodaemun District. This Starbucks cafe offers exclusive beverages and heritage goods, reminding visitors of the location's historical significance.
