Real cafes where you can check the stairs and signs between Sewoon Arcade and the printing alley

#Euljiro #Seoul Cafe #Cafe Tour #Seoul Stroll

Cafes in Euljiro are often not visible at a glance from outside the building. We've selected eight places that feature the vibe of old tea houses, small coffee bars, bakeries, and creative spaces located between Sewoon Arcade and the printing and tool alley of Euljiro 3-ga. Since the same street address can have different floors and units, the process of checking the name of the establishment, entrance signs, and stair locations is an important part of your visit.

During the day, work vehicles and merchants are in motion, while the atmosphere of the alley changes rapidly in the evening. Decide first whether you want a quiet coffee or wish to enjoy the urban landscape and space together. Be aware that some buildings may lack elevators or have narrow entrances; you should inquire at the stores if accessibility is a concern, and prioritize current business days and public notices over old reviews.

A stroll around Euljiro cafes should consider the number of street crossings and the time it takes to locate building entrances over the shortest distance indicated on the map. If you’re planning to visit locations inside and outside Sewoon Arcade and the alley of Euljiro 3-ga on the same day, it’s easier to find the first spot before sunset. By distinguishing between places for a quick coffee and those where you’d like to linger, you can realistically narrow down the eight candidates to two or three.

Euljiro is a street that serves more than just cafes but is also a workspace for various industries. Be considerate not to obstruct access and unloading due to alley photography, and keep noise levels down in building stairways and corridors. For spaces with relatively flexible operating hours and holidays, check official notices right before your visit. If the door is closed, it’s advisable to switch to the next option in the same block. This attitude helps preserve the atmosphere where old urbanity and new cafes coexist.
