Korean coffee shops are worth visiting as they are not just a place to go for a cup of java, they are picturesque and the cafe’s are Instagram-worthy! Check out the coffee chains in Seoul for some interesting and refreshing beverage options!

People in Korea drink more than 12 cups of coffee in a week. That means around 2.3 kg of coffee per capita consumption for the country, which is close to 6% of the total Asia Pacific coffee market. This makes Korea one of the biggest coffee markets in the world and the best place to set up a coffee chain business.

There are many unique cafes in Korea, such as hanok cafes in Busan, cherry blossom theme cafes in Seoul, and quite a lot more like Cafe Bora, Cafe Coi, and Cafe de One Piece. Beyond these, there are the coffee chains that are spread all across Korea.

The Korean market has seen high growth with more and more coffee shops in Seoul opening each year to tap the growing demand as compared to the ones which get closed due to negative profits. It is estimated that there are close to 49,000 coffee shops in South Korea with around 18000 in Seoul itself. Arabica has captured about two-thirds of the market, with Robusta taking the other one-third of the total market. For coffee lovers, the quality of coffee is of utmost importance!
