Le Labo Bukchon Hanok Cafe (르 라보 북촌 한옥) (How to go, what to expect)

The first time I saw a Le Labo store and café concept was in Kyoto. The place looked so pretty that I’d been wanting to visit ever since.

One day, while scrolling, I came across a post about a similar concept in Seoul. Since I had a Seoul trip planned and no upcoming trip back to Osaka, I immediately added this to my list.

There’s really no easier way to get here than walking from the station. Even if you take the bus, you’ll still need to walk.

If you don’t want to walk, I’d recommend taking a cab to get here or at least to this area.

How to go to Le Labo Bukchon Hanok Cafe :

1. Get down at Anguk station (line 3)

2. Get out of exit 2

I took photos of the route we walked using Naver Maps, but looking at them now, it seems pretty confusing 😅😭. I would advise you to follow Naver Maps.

Instead, I’ll share what the street looks like as you get closer to Le Labo Bukchon Hanok Cafe.

this is our view if you’re like me and coming form Anguk station

As soon as you enter, the first things you’ll see are Le Labo products, from their fragrances and candles to their body care items.

If you walk around to the other side of the space, you’ll eventually find yourself heading toward the cafe.

we were thinking of getting a cookie or a brownie to share, but since we were heading to another cafe after, we decided to just get coffee to save some stomach space, just in case the next cafe had better options 😋

all photos were taken using an iPhone 13 Pro Max / Fujifilm X-T20 18-55 mm

We spent some time here just to enjoy the design of the space. We loved taking in all the small details.

Before leaving the store and cafe, we took some pics outside!

If you want something different during your trip to Seoul, or if you’ll be exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukcheon Hanok Village, I think this place is a great option for a cafe visit.
