Seoul Station sandwich shop open at 7am, holiday KTX takeout: Dance

Why Dance Dance Dance Seoul Station on Chuseok morning?

Hi, this is Noah! With the Chuseok holiday, I'd gone to visit my grandfather's place, and since I left so early there was no time to eat breakfast, so I went looking for somewhere near Seoul Station to grab a bite...

And then I remembered — the Dance Dance Dance I ate at in Hannam-dong yesterday has a Seoul Station branch too! I arrived a bit earlier than my KTX departure and stopped by Dance Dance Dance Seoul Station, a sandwich spot everyone raves about.

How to find Dance Dance Dance from Seoul Station

Walk into the Grand Central building, ride two escalators up, and Dance Dance Dance Seoul Station is right there! It's genuinely close to Seoul Station on Line 1 — just a 5-minute walk — and even though it was my first time, I had no trouble finding it, so I imagine plenty of KTX travelers stop in. Apparently during Dance Happy Hour (before 10am), ordering a sandwich and coffee gets you a free scone — what a deal!

What the shop is like at 8:40am — and is there a wait?

The seating area is spacious with plenty of tables, which was great. Since it was Chuseok day and still early, there was no line at all, so I could take out my sandwiches and coffee right away — such fast service! Even in the short time I was there, a delivery rider came through, which shows just how popular Dance Dance Dance Seoul Station really is. I loved that it opens at 7am — today I visited at 8:40.

Freshly baked scones and baguettes sitting out there... my mouth watered on reflex. I ate here yesterday too, and coming back again today should tell you just how good these sandwiches are. This one's officially my go-to spot. The Grand Central building itself is also spotless, huge, and well managed, so I bet office workers here rely on Dance Dance Dance Seoul Station all the time.

If Dance Dance Dance were near my home or my office, I'd probably go almost every day, haha. The egg mayo sandwich and grilled cheese sandwich on the poster look completely delicious too.

What I ordered: two baguette sandwiches at 8,900 won each

Just like at the Hannam-dong branch, you order at the kiosk. I heard the fall-season fig pistachio baguette at 18,900 won is the popular pick, but since I wanted sandwiches as a proper meal today, I ordered two baguette sandwiches at 8,900 won each. And of course, an iced americano takeout for a caffeine boost to wake me up — that came to 4,500 won.

Dance Run: 1,000 won off for runners

There's also a Dance Run event running for runners, so don't miss the 1,000-won discount! Running is such a big trend these days, so this is great news for runners.

Takeout packaging and group orders

The packaging is so cute I keep looking at it. Dance Dance Dance really has that hip design down, and group orders are possible too — you just need to book at least 2–3 days ahead and prepay.

How the baguette and ciabatta tasted inside Seoul Station

I enjoyed a solo meal right inside Seoul Station. No difference at all from the Hannam-dong branch — the sandwiches were seriously delicious both times. I swapped one for baguette and the other for ciabatta, and each had its own charm, so I finished both happily. I'll definitely think of Dance Dance Dance again and want to come back — that's it for this one.
