Cafe Pokpo, meaning "waterfall" in Korean, is a charming spot nestled near a beautiful waterfall in Seoul. The cafe offers stunning views of the cascading water, making it a peaceful and relaxing escape from the bustling city. This charming spot has been making waves on TikTok, attracting a steady stream of visitors eager to capture the perfect Instagram-worthy shot.
While Cafe Pokpo isn't centrally located in Seoul, it's easily accessible by public transportation. I took a bus from my hotel in Dongdaemun, which took less than an hour. However, if you're planning to visit specifically for the cafe, it might be worth considering a more central location to maximize your time in Seoul.
The iced coffee here was delicious. I also had a tuna sandwich, which was satisfying. However, the breathtaking views that had been hyped up on TikTok were somewhat underwhelming. While the scenery was nice, it didn't quite live up to the expectations I had.
Suppose you're already planning a visit to Eunpyeong Hanok Village. In that case, adding Cafe Pokpo to your itinerary as a stop on the way back to Seoul city center is a reasonable option. However, I wouldn't recommend making a special trip just for the cafe. There are plenty of other charming cafes and attractions in Seoul that offer equally beautiful views and a more convenient location.
In conclusion, Cafe Pokpo is a nice place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee with a view. However, it's important to manage your expectations and consider it as a side trip rather than a primary destination.
