Between Bangbae and Naebang stations Botanic Market sits between Bangbae Station and Naebang Station, on Bangbaecheon-ro 2an-gil in Seocho-gu. It was super easy to find on foot, and the entrance already had that fresh, green vibe going. It's close enough to the subway that getting there by public transit is easy too. ## How much credit does the Botanic Family top-up give you? While looking around next to the counter (•̀ᴗ•́)و the words 'Botanic Family membership' caught my eye! The benefits looked way better than I expected, so I checked them out carefully. - Pay ₩99,000 and get a whopping ₩105,000 in credit — that's about 11 salads, which feels like a total win for someone eating here twice a week - Pay ₩199,000 and get ₩220,000 in credit — good for about 24 salads, so if you're keeping up a steady diet, prepaying is way more economical - Credit works exactly like cash on any menu item, and can be freely shared with family, friends, coworkers, even your partner The usability is amazing (ง︡'-'︠)ง I'm definitely sharing this with a coworker. ## Inside Botanic Market: atmosphere and seating Walking into Botanic Market, the whole space was so clean and nicely designed that it genuinely impressed me.
