They have a Renaissance style interior design with many paintings and chandeliers. We ordered some teas (Rooibos and Peppermint), Kougne Amman and a cake for sharing. The desserts tasted well and the tea also has a very fruity aroma, and we enjoyed the interior vibe. A highly recommended cafe for those who wishes to have a rest at Coex Starfield Mall. #100waysoftravel

To access, take Exit 5 or 6 of Samseong Station on Subway Line 2 From the entrance to COEX Mall, go to Central Plaza It's not exactly a quiet space, but there are a lot of people who enjoy reading 📖. I was surprised by the size of the place, as well as the number of books. It's sure to look great on Instagram. It's definitely worth a visit.

If you fancy a few hours in a library while sipping some coffee then Starfield Coex Mall is the place to be. This beautiful library is stunning and worth the hype. Take the Seoul Metro Line 2 to Samseong Station (삼성역), follow Exit 5 or 6 and you will arrive at COEX. Basically, as long as you follow the crowds, nothing can go wrong. Basically, COEX's Starfield Library is in the inner part, so walk inside, and enjoy the beautiful lights and huge stores on your way. They change the theme inside often which makes it so interesting. I recommend going early to avoid crowds. #localguides #Seoul #historicallandmarks #south_korea #library

#fallingseason The Starfield Coex Mall, or COEX for short, is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Seoul, especially with the Starfield Library at its heart. You can think of the library as a sort of culture space where you'll find people not only enjoying a good book or leisure magazine read, but also simply enjoying the opportunity to rest at ease or perhaps meet up with friends or family.

You can eat a lot of delicious food in Seoul, but it's all crowded ~😭 For those who lament We will introduce you to a hidden gem of a delicious Mexican restaurant in COEX Mall, which is famous for the Starry Sky Library and shopping mall!! The atmosphere is good, and the appetizer nachos (with salsa sauce) are free and very delicious. The portions are large, so share with everyone ~~ All the dishes are delicious, but if you don't like Mexican food, there are burgers too. There are various types of alcohol, but I recommend the Corona Rita, a cocktail with Corona beer on top of a margarita. It's delicious and looks great! From the window seats, you can see the Starry Sky Library through the courtyard. There are also seats inside that look like Mexican? You can enjoy a different atmosphere depending on the seat, and between day and night♪ There are many seats, so you can usually get in immediately without making a reservation, so you don't want to wait! I want to eat right away! Recommended for those who want to drink! ON THE BORDER COEX City Airport Store (Even though it's called an airport store, it's not actually located at the airport! It's in the building in COEX where the bus terminal to Incheon Airport is located) Address: 22 Dosin Gokhan 1, 87-gil, Tongrim-ro, Seocho-gu Opening hours Every day from 11:00 to 22:00 (last order 21:00) #KoreaTrip #KoreanGourmet #GirlsTripToKorea

#SeoulTravel #COEXRestaurant #SuperDuperBurger 📍Address: COEX Starfield Mall, B1, 512 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 📍Atmosphere/Facilities: Located in the basement of COEX Starfield Mall, it is easy to find, and there are many things to enjoy such as shopping, libraries, and cafes nearby. 📍The exterior and interior of the store are eye-catching with a clean interior full of American sensibility 📍Key Points: As expected from a representative San Francisco burger brand, the classic and heavy burgers are excellent, and there are various types so you can eat burgers according to your taste, and the size of the burgers is large, but the original taste of the ingredients is preserved. 📍Average price per person: Hot Chicken Flex Burger 11,900 won, Super Fries 5,900 won 📍Rating: 5 out of 5 SuperDuper Burger COEX is a burger restaurant located on the B1 floor of COEX Starfield Mall. As a representative San Francisco burger brand, it is a classic and heavy burger restaurant that preserves the taste of American burgers. Since it is located in COEX, there are many courses to enjoy together, such as cafes, shopping, and Byeolmadang Library, and the exterior and interior of the store are eye-catching with their American-style orange interior, and there is a kiosk at the entrance, so ordering is convenient. There are various types of hamburgers, such as Super Duper Burger, Chicken Burger, and Garlic Burger, and each burger brings out the original taste of the ingredients, so you can really feel the flavor of the hamburger. Super Fries, which are French fries with sauce on them, also go really well with the rich potatoes and spicy sauce. A handmade burger restaurant where you can really feel the American San Francisco style, if you come to Seoul, be sure to visit Super Duper Burger in COEX :)

Plantuth, located on the first basement floor of COEX Starfield, is a vegan restaurant introduced by Pulmuone. From tofu gangjeong to yurin-gi, pasta, tteokbokki, etc., there are various menus that are healthy and delicious as vegans, so my appetite was whetted. I tried the healthy eggplant rice bowl and soft tofu stew. The stew had tomatoes, soft tofu, and vegetables, and although it used healthy ingredients, the taste was completely worldly! I highly recommend the hot soup. The rice bowl with eggplant, meat, and other vegetables on top of oatmeal rice mixed with seasoning is also a very filling meal and the portion is large! The first branch is in COEX Mall and the second branch is in Yongsan I-Park Mall, and the second branch in particular has introduced a smart farm to provide customers with fresher vegetables. I visited because I was trying to reduce instant foods and eat healthy, but if I could always eat this delicious and healthy, I would be willing to go vegan. 📍Plantude 513 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Starfield B1 I-111 Opening hours 11:00 - 21:30 #COEX #COEXRestaurant #VeganFood #VeganRestaurant #VeganRestaurant #PlacesToVisitInCOEX #Plantude

How about enjoying a cool indoor date on a hot summer day? Above all, COEX is located near the exhibition hall, so you can have a cool and fluffy date all day long!

This is Tim Ho Wan, the king of dim sum. Take a bite and you're done.. It just melts... This place sells not only dim sum but also good soup and fried rice, and the portions are not too large, so you can try several, which is perfect. The dim sum in particular is just plain delicious. The sauce is good because you can add as much sauce as you like, and now you can order it with a pad, so it's convenient.

Many people have talked about this, but it’s a different experience when you’re there in person. Starfield Library is located on the B1 floor of "Starfield Coex Mall". This mall is a department store with more than 300 stores including COEX Aquarium, Lotte Duty Free Shop, Megabox Cinema, and Asia-Europe Conference. If you are traveling with your family, you can reserve more time to visit the famous aquarium. This time I came mainly to check in at the dreamlike library in front of me. The book wall has more than one layer. Taking the escalator to the upper floor, the "journey" is very magical. I am surrounded by "books" all around, yet full of beauty. I believe the central location is decorated with a theme. It should be spring flower these days, and there is poetic and picturesque atmosphere everywhere. If you like this kind of atmosphere, you must come! Opening hours: 10:30-22:00 Address: 5 minutes from Exit 6 of Samseong-dong Subway Station #KoreaTravel #KoreaAttractions #Seoul #SeoulCheck-inHotspots #StarfieldLibrary

#RestaurantExploration #SeoulRestaurant #COEXRestaurant Some people say they like tacos and definitely recommend this restaurant near COEX. I finally found a restaurant near COEX and will introduce it to you. This is a place where you can taste real Mexican tacos. The tacos we are familiar with are filled with lots of filling and sprinkled with cheese, but that is closer to the American style. This is a place that properly recreates Mexican tacos. It is a place that even South American friends approve of! It doesn't look appealing at first glance, right? You will fall in love with it once you try it. Just choose the toppings that go into the taco and you're done ordering! There are mixed, lean meat, stomach, shell, tongue, chorizo, and beef tripe, but I recommend starting with mixed and chorizo. Personally, I also like the chewy, fun shell. 📍Villa Guerrero 💸Carnitas Tacos 4,600 won/Freejoles Charros 4,700 won

#The best place for an indoor date is Starfield in Samseong-dong - !

I went to Korea in December and had the opportunity to visit the Starfield Library located in the Coex Mall. It is very convenient to get there. You can take the subway and get off at a station near the mall. When we went, it was close to New Year. The library had a light show that shot up onto the bookshelves. It was very cute and beautiful. The lights were turned on every 15 minutes. We watched it 5-6 times. It was very cute. I highly recommend it. 🥰🥰 #korea #newyear2023 #starfield
