📍 56-1 Aewolbukseo-gil, Aewol-eup, Jeju Island (image from Trazy)
This is the G-Dragon café. Located on the beautiful Jeju Island, Café Aewol Monsant was personally designed by G-Dragon himself. From the sleek black glass exterior to the artistic interior and ocean view—this place is 100% GD-style. It’s peaceful, modern, and has a moody vibe that fits his personality perfectly. You’ll even spot some of his personal art touches inside.
What to try: Their Jeju tangerine tea or house-made carrot cake. Both are crowd favorites.
📸 Don’t forget to take a photo at the mirrored wall facing the ocean—it’s iconic!
2. Donghae (Super Junior) – Haru & One Day
📍 13-14 Yeonmujang-gil, Seongsu-dong, Seoul (image from Pensive Wandering)
Donghae and his brother run this beautiful space in Seongsu, one of Seoul’s trendiest areas. Haru & One Day is a combination of a café, lifestyle brand, and design studio. The vibe is calm, minimal, and aesthetically pleasing. It’s a great place to relax, work, or take Instagrammable photos.
What to order: Sweet potato latte and almond croissant—they’re amazing!
The name reflects “a good day” and peaceful vibes—just like Donghae himself.
3. Kai (EXO) – KAMONG (Family-run Café with Kai’s Touch)
📍 17 Seocho-daero 42-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul (image from Trazy)
Okay, let’s clarify this one. KAMONG isn’t officially owned by Kai himself—but it’s run by his sister, and Kai helped name and design it. “KAMONG” is a mix of “Kai” and “Monggu,” his beloved dog. EXO-themed decorations, Kai’s photos, and cute drinks make this a must-visit for EXO-Ls.
Signature pick: Waffles + ice cream and a hot caramel latte.
Even though it’s family-run, the Kai vibes are everywhere—you’ll feel it the moment you step inside.
5. Yesung (Super Junior) – Mouse Rabbit
📍 5-14 Hwayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (image from Tripadvisor)
Yesung co-owns Mouse Rabbit Café with his brother, and it’s a favorite for ELF fans. The name comes from his Chinese zodiac sign (rabbit) and his nickname (mouse). The vibe here is super cozy, with brick walls, books, and small touches from Yesung’s life—like hand-drawn doodles and photo displays.
Fan favorite: Cloud latte and chocolate cake.
Yesung is known to visit from time to time, so you might be lucky enough to spot him!
5. Changmin – The Min’s
📍 330 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (image from Trazy)
Changmin co-owns The Min’s with his family, and it’s been a favorite café spot in Gangnam since 2014. It has a warm, cozy atmosphere with jazz playing softly in the background. Many fans come here to enjoy the calm vibes and maybe spot Changmin when he’s in town.Back in 2016, BTS members Jin, V, and Jungkook also visited Changmin’s café, which he warmly thanked them for. So yes, ARMYs—be sure to check out this restaurant!
Best pick: Ginger lemon tea—Changmin’s personal recommendation!
6. Jay Park – Café Dudart x AOMG
📍 34 Apgujeong-ro 48-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
This isn’t just any café—it’s Jay Park style. Located in Apgujeong, this Dudart branch is in collaboration with AOMG, Jay’s very own label. The walls are filled with posters, tour merch, and even signed albums. Jay has been spotted here before, especially during album drops and AOMG events.
Must-order: The honey cube toast and iced vanilla latte—they’re fan favorites.
You’ll feel the hip-hop vibes the moment you walk in. Great spot for both coffee and good music.
