Coconutbox Cafe & Gallery — Restaurant in Seoul

A large and very aesthetic cafe in Hongdae!

We came at 9:15 am on a weekday and there was no one else here. There are so many different bungalow styles to choose from, which comes with it's own retro game console, music player with headphones, and some other activities. There's also a huge ball pit which was super fun, and a media projection room which is pretty cool to meditate in. Every inch of this place is decorated spectacularly, with pretty photo spots everywhere.

This was once listed as included in the Discover Seoul Pass but their pricing system has changed - there is no admission fee anymore, you just need to purchase at least one drink per person to get access to all the facilities (not covered by DSP). Furthermore, there is no more VR box, which is still listed on the website at the time of posting.

The drinks/pastries are a little pricey, but since it covers admission I think it's understandable as they still taste pretty good. Overall would definitely recommend for...

Coconut Box is an absolute hidden gem located in the basement of Sinchon, and it’s easily the biggest café in the area! This place has everything you could want for a perfect café experience. The private bungalows are ideal for couples looking to enjoy some quiet time, offering a cozy and intimate setting that’s hard to find elsewhere.

The ambiance is fantastic, blending a laid-back vibe with a retro aesthetic that makes the whole experience unique. They even have retro games, which is such a fun and nostalgic touch! If you’re into quirky, offbeat attractions, the small museum inside the café is worth checking out – it adds an extra layer of charm to the place.

The staff is super friendly, and the space is so well-designed that you feel relaxed the moment you step in. Whether you’re looking to spend time with a loved one, hang out with friends, or just unwind with a cup of coffee, Coconut Box is the perfect spot. I can’t recommend this café enough if you’re...

Basement Picnic

This extraordinary place in the basement of one of Hongdae's buildings is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing experience. The space is decorated with a whimsical mural, swings, and tables, creating a picnic area that is both fun and inviting.

The swings are a great way to unwind and enjoy the atmosphere, while the tables are perfect for grabbing a bite to eat or catching up with friends. The mural is a work of art in itself, and it adds a touch of whimsy to the space.

Overall, Coconutbox is a hidden gem in Hongdae that is sure to please visitors of all ages. It is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a moment of peace and tranquility.

And the staff was super nice. She gave us a free pastry to enjoy. Thanks Coconutbox. We'll be back for either BRUNCH or BREAKFAST. My rating: 5...
