A Hidden Gem: Momos Coffee Inside the National Palace Museum of Korea
I stumbled upon this cafe while looking for a place to rest!
It's located inside the National Palace Museum of Korea!
Even better, they serve Momos cold brew!
I wanted to introduce this place because it's one of the few cafes in Seoul where you can enjoy the unforgettable taste of Momos Coffee, which I fell in love with in Busan.
National Palace Museum Cafe Love
Address: 1st Floor, National Palace Museum of Korea, 12, Hyoja-ro, Jongno-gu
Hours: 9 AM - 6 PM Daily
Parking: Available
Public Transportation: 1-minute walk from Exit 5 of Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3)
Features: Located inside the National Palace Museum, offering clean facilities and access to exhibits.
Location:
There are many cafes to choose from if you work in Jongno-gu.
Especially during summer, a cool cafe close to the subway is a great option.
The location is perfect - just come out of Exit 5 of Gyeongbokgung Station and walk up a few steps!
The interior is incredibly cool.
Someone sensitive to the cold like me might even find it a bit chilly.
Perhaps because it's a great place to cool off in the hot summer, it's filled with office workers and tourists.
There's even a meeting room available.
You can inquire about using it at the counter.
Menu:
You can order at the kiosk on the left side of the entrance.
They have coffee, tea, and Korean traditional-style desserts.
There's a new menu item called the Palace Fan Fruit Plate, which has a traditional feel and would be great to enjoy with foreign friends.
Gung Ga Bae Cold Brew Can (Momos)
It's a cold brew collaboration with Momos!
It seems that they are collaborating with cafes in other palaces, such as Deoksugung Palace.
The taste is cleaner and less tangy than other cold brews.
However, as you can see from the can size, it feels a bit small..
It's a small amount for office workers who chug coffee.
In Summary:
There's no place as cool as this in the summer, and the museum's permanent exhibitions are great.
Plus, the gift shop inside has lots of tempting items, so your wallet is always in danger (?)
In addition to this cafe, you can try to find various other restaurants, so if you visit near Gyeongbokgung, stop by and rest!
Furthermore, the diverse menu options make it great for meetups with coworkers, Gyeongbokgung tourists, or foreign friends.
I would recommend going if you work around Gyeongbokgung or have a chance to visit the area.
And that's the end of today's cafe story!
