Welcome to Cafe Poem, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. Located at 25-1 Yonsei-ro, this charming cafe is a haven for anyone seeking a cozy retreat from the bustle of city life. With its warm lighting and inviting atmosphere, Cafe Poem is the perfect spot to sip on a delicious beverage while indulging in some quiet contemplation or catching up with a friend.

As you step inside, you are greeted by a tranquil ambiance where the gentle hum of quiet conversations fills the air—ideal for students and creatives alike. The owner’s personal touch is evident throughout the space, from the thoughtfully curated decor to the attention given to ensuring each visitor feels welcomed and at home. P Foster perfectly captured this sentiment: “I could tell he was struggling to tell me something, and it was that my raincoat had to hang in the bathroom which is a reasonable request for such a cozy place.” Such care for your experience is what sets Cafe Poem apart.

The menu is a delightful array of carefully crafted drinks, each made with love and dedication. If you're a chocolate lover, you’ll want to try their semi-dark chocolate drink, which has garnered rave reviews from patrons like Sofia Laos, who noted, “All of the drinks are made with tons of dedication and love.” The cafe offers a range of beverages and treats that are perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up, whether you need a caffeine boost or something sweet to nibble on.

Cafe Poem shines particularly on weekdays when its intimate size ensures you can find a cozy nook, ideal for studying or diving deep into creative work. Mara Eichhorn emphasized this perfectly: “We highly enjoyed the nice atmosphere and the delicious drinks at Cafe Poem. It is perfect to get some work done as there are many plugs to charge your laptop…” With an abundance of outlets available, you can comfortably plug in and power through your tasks without a hitch.

But it’s not just the drinks and atmosphere that keep customers coming back—it's also the owner’s genuine kindness and thoughtful hospitality that leave a lasting impression. Feedback from Senie illustrates this: “사장님도 친절하시고 컵에도 신경을 많이 쓰셨더라구요,” which translates to a nod toward the creator's attention to detail, even in the cups serving your drinks.

If you're in search of a spot that embodies serenity and creativity, make your way to Cafe Poem. It’s more than just a cafe; it’s a sanctuary for the soul, where you can escape the rain, immerse yourself in a book, or simply enjoy the cozy environment with kindhearted service. Your next favorite cafe awaits!

I was looking for a nice cafè to run into because it began to pour down. I saw the name and the lights and I knew it was it. I could tell he was struggling to tell me something and it was that my raincoat had to hang in the bathroom which is a reasonable request for such a cozy place. Everyone inside was studying or doing silent creative stuff. I settled on a semi dark chocolate drink and it is delicious . The music is great. Let's go Introverts!!!

사장님이 무뚝뚝한 표정을 짓고 있지만 서비스는 친절하십니다. 음료는 맛이 괜찮고 카페 분위기 자체가 상당히 괜찮습니다. 세미다크초콜릿은 정말 끝내주네요!
