As the temperature drops outside and the inside becomes a warm safe space, more and more people reach for books. Why not spend this weekend at a unique book cafe? Recently, these cafes have focused on how to improve the reader's experience as well as introducing special isolated reading spaces. Sit on a comfortable sofa and get lost in a story while surrounded by the familiar sounds of a cafe or read without being disturbed in a single-person study. Let's take a look at five book cafes in Seoul that have a one-of-a-kind interior layout.

Sojeonseolim

Sojeonseolim is a new premium literature library in Cheongdam-dong that focuses on books about the humanities such as literature, art, and philosophy. The true value of Sojeonseolim comes from its layout. Personal studies provide a quiet space for relaxation and a comfortable chair that cradles your body to create the best reading environment. In addition, yedam, a room for art, is a venue that offers lectures, small concerts of up to 50 people, and celebrity guest events for dialogue centered on the humanities.

Blue Square Book Park Lounge

Blue Square Book Park Lounge is designed for people waiting for musical performances, but now it is more popular amongst book lovers. There are various different seating arrangements such as single-person tables, bean bags, and recliner sofas, which are perfect for visiting alone, with partners, or families. In particular, the admission fee includes a beverage exchange ticket and allows you to read books in a free and comfortable atmosphere.

The Project HUAM

The Project Huam study was made using an unused space of land in Huam-dong. Since there are no employees, visitors must open locked doors, make their own drip coffee, and make unsupervised payments, but while in Huam study, can enjoy the space freely as if it were their own study. Huam Library is divided into daytime and evening hours, and can be used by up to three people at a time, so you can use it comfortably.

The Forest Chosochaekbang

The Forest Chosochaekbang at the foot of Inwangsan Mountain was created from a remodeled 50 year old guard post. The view outside the window is filled with the stone walls and trees of Inwangsan Mountain, and from the terrace on the second floor the area of Seoul around Namsan Seoul Tower can be seen. As it is a book cafe situated in the heart of nature, the book collection focuses on nature and the environment. Take some time to enjoy the book and nature of The Forest Chosochaekbang.

Cafe Comma Hapjeong Branch

Cafe Comma is a publishing company and book cafe from Munhak Village. The Cafe Comma Hapjeong branch feels spacious thanks to its use of an entire building and unique floor-by-floor layout, making it fun to explore each level. The floor to ceiling bookshelves are full of different literature, which gives guests plenty to read during their visit. Cafe Comma also offers fragrant coffee, delicious bread, and refurbished books at low prices.
