Danpung: A Tranquil Cafe Escape Near Seoul in the Embrace of Nature


Nestled near Cheonggyesan Mountain, Danpung is a cafe that offers a suburban feel without the long drive. It's a nature-friendly and modern space, perfect for a relaxing getaway just outside of Seoul.

Located with a beautiful mountain view, Danpung boasts ample parking space, a significant advantage. Even with a steady stream of visitors, parking remains plentiful.
The cafe features a spacious area with a terrace and front yard, creating a seamless connection with nature.
Despite feeling like a distant escape, Danpung is conveniently located just 30 minutes from Gangnam and 10 minutes from Bundang.
The cafe's name, 'Danpung' (meaning 'Maple' in Korean), comes from the numerous maple trees surrounding the area. It must be especially beautiful during the spring and fall when the leaves change colors.
Danpung offers a rooftop and terraces (1F / 2F / ROOFTOP). The outdoor terrace also has a pet-friendly space, making it a great place for dog owners.
The cafe has diverse drinks and desserts. Their signature Cream Latte and Danpung Blending coffee are popular.
They serve coffee, and they also brew and sell Colombian coffee beans directly in the store. I bought a cold brew to drink at work!
The beverage menu includes coffee, non-alcoholic cocktails, beer, ades, smoothies, and bottled drinks.
From cakes and cookies to baked goods and paninis, they offer a full range of desserts and meal options.
We picked up our order and headed straight to the rooftop. After considering the lounge seating, we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather on the roof.
The rooftop, with the mountains in the background, provides a truly fantastic view.
We ordered a variety of items, which meant we weren’t hungry for dinner! We tried Iced Matcha Latte and Iced Caffe Latte. We also ordered Basque cheesecake and Carrot cake to go with our coffee.
The drinks and desserts were presented beautifully, matching the cafe's clean and stylish ambiance. Both the cakes and drinks were delicious! The latte had a nutty flavor that everyone would enjoy. I enjoyed my Matcha Latte.
The rooftop also has a large group seating area. The weather is getting cooler, making it the perfect season to sit on the rooftop or terrace. It was a nice and pleasant atmosphere with Cheonggyesan Mountain nearby. I felt refreshed after spending quality time surrounded by nature!
The cafe's atmosphere was peaceful and close to nature, which I particularly enjoyed. Facing Cheonggyesan Mountain made me feel like I was hiking, even though I wasn't! I enjoyed feeling refreshed.
The sky from the cafe was clear and blue. The tropical nights are over, and it's getting cooler.
Looking at the mountain on the other side was so green, making my eyes and mind feel at ease.
The separate restrooms on the first floor were clean and well-designed. I was satisfied with my visit. I was able to relax, have a delicious drink and dessert. I had initially planned to read a book, but we ended up enjoying the view of the mountain and talking. I hope I can visit again someday soon on a sunny or rainy day.
