Known fordessert cafeInstagram cafeInsadongKorean aesthetic
Cafe Bora is famous for its striking purple charcoal soft-serve ice cream and matcha lattes, set inside a beautifully designed hanok-adjacent space in Insadong. It is undeniably photogenic and the drinks are genuinely good, not just Instagram bait. Expect long queues, especially on weekends, and a very tourist-heavy crowd. Go early on a weekday for the best experience.
