Seongbuk LP café with H.O.T. & S.E.S. cassette tapes: Mudeungdowon

Walk into the alleys near Sungshin Women's University and you'll find plenty of cafés. Today I'm introducing an LP café where you can enjoy music and coffee together, with great filter coffee: Mudeungdowon (무등도원).

Mudeungdowon is a lovely spot for a cup of coffee with atmospheric music, good for a date or for a quiet coffee on your own.

Where is Mudeungdowon, and what are the hours and parking?

Mudeungdowon is at 56 Bomun-ro 32-gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (1st floor), open from 9:30am to 7:30pm. You can park to the left as you face the café.

It's a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Seongsin Women's Univ. Station on Line 4, and it's a nice café to stop at when you're out for a stroll along Seongbuk Stream.

What is the Mudeungdowon LP café like inside?

Mudeungdowon is a cozy café with LP records on the walls, albums and cassette tapes displayed here and there, soft lighting and a wood-toned interior. There are also a fan and tables outside, so you can sit outdoors too.

With a fan and tables set up outside, wouldn't it be great to sit out there with a coffee when a cool breeze blows?

Step further inside and the LP records on the wall add to the sentimental mood.

Records and tapes displayed all around add to the mood, and the soft lighting and wood tones make it easy to settle in. There are even cassette tapes that bring back memories: HOT, NRG, SES, Jinusean, GOD~^^

It's no pressure to visit alone, and you can read a book over your coffee here~ Look, a chair decorated with LP records, haha

I hear you even get a discount if you come in a jersey during baseball or soccer games~ It looks like you can watch the matches on the screen here too~ (The restroom is outside the café; enter the passcode to use it.)

The signature filter coffee of this Sungshin Women's Univ. LP café~ I tried it too ^^ It has a clean, bright flavor~ and it was really good iced~

Even the cute LP-style coaster adds to the mood, right?

The cardamom bun has a cinnamon aroma, moist brioche dough and a chewy texture, and it's even better if you tear it apart along the grain.
