Cafe Bora is one of those renowned cafes where people came from outside just to have a taste of its Purple Sweet Potato Bingsoo. Some people also know it by the name of “Korean Bingsoo Cafe.” Despite its small spatial occupancy, you will find a light flow of extremely satisfied people walking out of the tiny cafe, holding an unfamiliar purple item in their hand.

Korean Bingsoo Cafe should be included in your if you are planning to visit Seoul. This Koreatown café is located near Bukchon Hanok Village, where you can dress in traditional Korean costume and explore hanok and taste the delicacies that the house of purple Seoul is offering.
