Wangsimni, a wasteland of cafes, and Seongsu-dong, where there are many hot spots but it is difficult to find a quiet place to work. Introducing some great spaces to work in Seongdong-gu that I found while traveling.
디플랫성수
D-flat, a new cafe that is good for working on a laptop in Seongsu. The work environment, coffee, and music were all good. When I visited on a weekday, it was very quiet and most people came to work, so it was good to focus. The selection of beans was wide and the menu was varied. There are also decaf coffee beans, and there are various non-coffee menus, so I think it would be good for those who don't like coffee! Dessert menu is about 2-3 items.
The cafe can be used on the first and second basement floors, and the first basement floor is recommended for people who can concentrate well in a slightly dark place, and the second floor is recommended for people who can concentrate well in a sunny place. The first floor has a coffee bar and terrace seating. It is a space that I will be visiting often in the future 😊
🔌Outlet: There is an outlet on a large, long table. There is no power outlet at the sofa seat.
🎶 Atmosphere: When I visited on a weekday afternoon, it was very quiet. Almost all of them were reading books or working on their laptops, so it was an atmosphere where you could hardly hear their voices. It was a very good atmosphere to focus on. The music is loud, and there are calm pop songs.
🪑Table, Chair: There is a long table that can be shared. There are also sofa seats where you can focus privately like a partition, but the height of the table is a bit low.
Hours of Operation: 11-21:00 daily
Menu and price: Americano 5.0 , Latte 6.0
Public Transportation: Seongsu Station Exit 3

cociety 코사이어티 서울숲
There are a lot of hot cafes in Seongsu-dong, but it is not easy to find a good cafe to work in! In Seongsu-dong like that, I think the corsair is the best place to work. High ceilings and light, spacious and moderately high tables and chairs, and neat toilets. It is definitely one of the best places to work in Seoul😃
'co' and 'society' in the sense of 'a space where people gather to create culture'. There is a lounge area that is good for conversation, a table that can accommodate 4-6 people, and a long table that can seat about 10 people.
🔌Outlets: There are outlets almost everywhere, so it's perfect for a laptop.
🎶 Atmosphere: The music is loud, and there are bright pop songs instead of quiet music. People working 9: People talking 1 ratio, so it's quiet and mostly working on a laptop.
🪑Tables and chairs: Most of them are rectangular, spacious tables that can accommodate 4 or more people, and the height of the chairs and table is suitable for work.
✔️TIP: There is a private round table and an outdoor terrace, so it's good to get some fresh air when you're bored at work!
12:00-20:00 (Closed every Monday)

릴레이션
A relation cafe where you can work quietly in Seongsu.
Overall, the black interior has a low illuminance, giving it a cozy feel. Coffee is made from Alegria coffee beans. There is a middle ground and it is lucky.
🔌Outlet
There is a multi-tap at the spacious table and at the table for 6 people.
🎶 Atmosphere
It's pretty quiet for a weekday I visited. If you prefer a quiet work environment, avoid lunchtime on weekdays.
🪑Tables and chairs
Based on the coffee bar, there is a very large multi-person table in front of the coffee bar, and there are various tables for 2 to 6 people inside.
✅TIP
Magazine B There are many magazines, so I recommend it to those who like it!

레벨 커피바
Revel Coffee Bar, a new cafe in Sangwangsimni, a barren area of cafes. It's located behind the building, so if you didn't see the signboard, you might easily miss it. So it was like a hideout that only I wanted to know more about. The sound of the music resonating without being too loud is good, and the dimly lit interior enhances concentration. When you see the bamboo view out the window while working, it is healing itself💕 Coffee, atmosphere, and selection of songs were all satisfactory :)
🔌Outlets: There are no outlets on the first floor, but only one outlet along the wall on the second floor.
🎶 Atmosphere: There are not many people on weekdays, so I like to work quietly. As for the music, there is also calm music such as Crush and Yerin Baek, and the music with a sensuous beat is not noisy, so it is good to focus.
🪑Tables and chairs: All chairs and tables are suitable for work. It is a wooden chair and table that goes well with the concept of a woody space.
TIP: If you want to work quietly because the space is small and there are a lot of people on the weekends, we recommend visiting on weekdays.
Hours of Operation: Mon-Thu 12-19 pm, Fri-Sun 12-22:00

집무실(執務室) 왕십리점
Wangsimni branch, a shared office office with a railway loading dock concept. The interior and service differentiated from other shared offices were impressive. The two-story interior is open and connected, making it a good environment for creative ideas. You can choose a work environment that suits you, such as a completely closed reading room, a moderately open and private space, or a space where you can work at a large table in a completely open space and work freely in a different place every day. Dessert at 3pm and whiskey at 7pm daily. Printing service, coffee and refreshments are always available. The meeting room is also available to anyone.
In addition to the Wangsimni branch, there are other branches such as Jeongdong branch and Seokchon branch, so I recommend that you try the 3-day free trial.
🔌Outlets: Almost all seats have outlets. There are electrical outlets in meeting rooms and phone booths as well.
🎶 Atmosphere: Day and night atmosphere is completely different. It has a cafe-like atmosphere during the day and turns into a bar-like atmosphere when the sun goes down. As for the music, calm pop songs are played during the day, and classical or jazz is played at night.
🪑Tables and chairs: Tables and chairs of various heights are available.

INTHEMASS
A warehouse-style cafe in the mass market store that has a roastery and a bakery in the store and continues to make fresh bread and beans. Headquartered in Daegu, there are also stores in Busan and Seoul. When I work in a cafe, I can still smell the aroma of roasting coffee. In the Mass, coffee beans are so popular that they line up at cafe shows. You can visit for work, but I think it would be good to visit with the idea of tasting In the Mass coffee!
It was good to have a variety of different types of beans and a variety of bakery menus, and the large interior made me feel less stuffy. The large and moderately high tables are also good for laptops.
🔌Outlet: There are two 3-prong multi-taps on the wall table.
🎶 Atmosphere: bright music is playing. There is Hanyang University nearby, so there are a lot of people using laptops. It is a bit noisy between 12-1:30, so if you want a quiet atmosphere, we recommend avoiding this time of the day!
🪑Table, Chair: There is a long table to share. If you work on a laptop, we recommend a table on the wall!
Hours of Operation: Daily 10:30-21:50 (Closed on the third Tuesday of every month)
Menu and price: Americano 4.5 , Latte 5.0

LowKey Seongsu
Rokey Cafe is famous for its specialty coffee. Located on the first floor of the Heyground building, the Low-key Heyground store is quiet even on weekends, unlike the hot Seongsu and Songjeong stores. It's located in an alley where you can enjoy Lowkey's coffee, but it's not crowded, so it's a good place to work. If you are looking for a quiet place to focus on the weekend, we recommend the Lowkey Heyground.
🔌Outlet: For window seats, you can use the outlet on the back bar table.
🎶 Atmosphere: Because it is located in Heyground, there are many people who come to work. The music is not too loud, so it is good to work.
🪑Tables and chairs: These are tables and chairs of a suitable height to work with.
Hours of Operation: Weekdays 09-18 pm, Saturday 10-19 pm (Closed on Sundays)
Menu and price: Americano 4.5 Latte 4.5
Wifi: Yes
LCDC Seoul
Cafe Ephemera is located in the Seongsu complex cultural space LCDC. With a variety of desserts, emotional goods, and an emotional interior that makes you feel like you are in a European store, it has been a space that has been visited by many people since it opened last year. The best space for a laptop is the music room, which is the innermost part. It is located inside, so it is quiet and the atmosphere of the music room is also good. I recommend visiting when you get tired of the cafe you used to go to every day!
🔌Outlet: There is an outlet under the wall table in the music room and on the wall table beyond the coffee bar.
🎶 Atmosphere: A calm pop song is playing. It's not very noisy until afternoon on weekdays, but there are many people even on weekdays.
🪑Tables and chairs: These are tables and chairs of a suitable height. There are plenty of seats. Most are spacious tables for 3-4 people.
✔️TIP: As it is a hot spot in Seongsu-dong, if you are visiting for work, it is better to avoid weekends. There are quite a few people even on weekdays! The innermost music room is the best place to focus as it is completely cut off from outside noise when the door is closed. If you are visiting to work on Ephemera, we recommend the Music Room!
