Cafe Pokpo 카페 폭포

Seats face Hongje Waterfall, an artificial cascade on Hongjecheon Stream, and coffee comes with the sound of falling water. On clear days a rainbow forms in the spray. The Seodaemun District Office runs the cafe and puts its revenue toward local scholarships. Customers aged 65 and over, multi-child, single-parent and disability households, and anyone bringing a tumbler get a discount. Potato bread, sweet potato bread and brownies sit next to vanilla lattes and ades on the menu. The hanok-style interior sits beside a dome-shaped space and a small library. Tables right in front of the falls are hard to get on weekends and in cherry blossom season, while the newer upstairs room is quieter. Registering your receipt gives 30 minutes free at the district office's second annex lot.
