If you ever find yourself wandering around Myeongdong and you're craving a quiet little spot to chill with a good coffee (and maybe some cute photos for the insta 😉), you have to check out Molto Café.

It’s one of those places that kind of feels like a secret — calm, cozy, and totally charming.

🧭 Where is it?

Molto is tucked away in the bustling streets of Myeongdong, Seoul, just a short walk from Myeongdong Station (Exit 6 or 7 works best).
Despite being in one of the busiest shopping districts in the city, it somehow feels super peaceful once you step inside.


☕ What to Order?

They’re known for their signature coffee blends, especially the Molto Latte – smooth, just the right amount of creamy, and not too sweet. Perfect if you like balanced flavors.

Also:

  • Tiramisu is a fan favorite – super soft and not overly sweet
  • They have some beautiful seasonal drinks, like strawberry lattes in spring or cinnamon chai in fall
  • And yes, their croissants are chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳💋

🪑 Vibe & Interior

Okay, the aesthetic? SO cute.
Think: minimal design, warm lighting, comfy wooden tables — a mix of modern and cozy. There's even a bit of a European cafe vibe, which totally matches the name Molto (Italian for "very" or "a lot"). Great for solo coffee time, reading, journaling, or even a quiet date.

Oh, and the second floor has a lovely view overlooking the Myeongdong street — perfect spot to people-watch without the noise.


📸 Instagrammable?

Absolutely.
The coffee is served in pretty ceramic mugs, and the natural lighting makes everything look 10x better in photos. The kind of place you post on IG and get a bunch of DMs asking, “Where is this??”


💬 TL;DR – Why You Should Go

If you want:

  • a break from the Myeongdong crowd
  • a really good latte
  • cozy, European-inspired vibes
  • a lowkey place to read, relax, or catch up with a friend
