Welcome to Cafe Loby, a hidden gem located in the heart of Seocho District, Seoul. Nestled into the lobby of a stylish building, this café offers a unique respite from the bustling city life, making it an ideal spot for both casual conversations and serene solo moments.
As you step inside, you're greeted by a modern and inviting atmosphere.

The star of the show at Cafe Loby is undoubtedly its coffee. Patrons rave about the rich, flavorful brews that promise to awaken your senses.

If you have a sweet tooth, you won't be disappointed—varieties of decadent desserts, around ten types, each crafted with care, promise to tantalize your taste buds. As one customer expressed, the desserts are not only delicious but come with a careful attention to detail, making them just as pleasing to look at as they are to eat. The blueberry cheesecake and other baked goods sourced from EJ Baking stand out, making it hard to resist ordering more.
While the café offers a serene environment during the early hours, it can become bustling and lively post-lunch hours with office workers flocking in. A customer wisely noted, “It’s perfect before noon when it’s quiet,” allowing you to enjoy the tranquil ambiance before the rush. Pair your rich coffee with a lazy afternoon in the charming terrace, surrounded by green foliage and the charming sounds of the city in the distance.
