Hello! Have you ever been to Seoul Forest? It actually feels more like a park than a forest, but before I went, I scoffed at the name Seoul Forest. However, I was surprised to find that it's a surprisingly relaxing and healing space. It made me think, "Even in the middle of a city like Seoul, you can take a break like this." It remains a fond memory for me.
The place I'm going to introduce you to this time is a cafe called Green Lab!!
First, I'll tell you about the location and how to get there.
It is located at 18-11 Seoul Forest 2-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and is about 596m from Exit 5 of Suin-Bundang Seoul Forest Station. It is a 9-minute walk from Ttukseom Station and Seoul Forest Station!
