3. Starbucks Riverside Paldang DT
Starbucks Riverside Paldang DT is located just outside of downtown Seoul on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, near the Paldang neighborhood. It’s a great place for a night drive as you can enjoy the low skyline and the suburbia feel, unlike the towering buildings of downtown Seoul.

4. Starbucks Deyangpyeong DT
Starbucks Deyangpyeong DTR is a standalone building near Yangpyeong Station, and many people who drive to the suburbs or take a day trip stop by for a scenic cafe. It is a reserve store that sells high-end coffee, so it is recommended if you want to get both the view and the flavor!
