Cafe 카페Seoul Station 서울역

Vinyl, coffee and late drinks at a small record cafe-bar near Seoul Station

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

Rumeg is a small standalone cafe-bar between Seoul Station and Chungjeongno Station, with a turntable spinning vinyl, vintage lamps and art on the walls. Come for coffee by day or a drink at night, and try the thick deep chocolate.

It's a hidden gem near Seoul Station. I loved this place so much that I visited almost every day during my trip to Seoul. The staff are incredibly friendly and speak English, so communication was never an issue. One thing worth mentioning is that you can also order alcoholic drinks during the day!
