PLAD CAFE
플래드카페 Peullaedeu Kape PLAD is the cafe's coined brand name; one post says it stands for 'Plan Art & Design', and the floors are themed upward from the roots of a forest to a fifth-floor 'Forest Lounge'.

A cafe occupying an entire red-brick building on Atelier-gil, right at the edge of Seoul Forest. You order at the ground-floor counter, then sit on floors 1.5, 3 or 5; the fifth-floor 'Forest Lounge' with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor terrace overlooking the park is what posts say people come for. Americano is 5,500 won, lattes and ades 6,500-7,800 won, cakes 7,500-8,800 won. We read 30 posts from July 23 to October 4, 2026; 26 describe an actual visit (including two cases where one visit was posted twice).

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Sixteen posts mention the big windows framing the forest. The fifth floor looks down over the treetops; on the third floor the trees sit at eye level. Most posts prefer the fifth floor, but four liked the third better, and two noted the third-floor view includes tennis courts.
- Eleven posts describe an outdoor terrace on the fifth floor and two call it a rooftop. Two found it closed in the rain, and two skipped it because of summer heat.
- Five posts found it quiet, mostly on weekdays or on upper floors; one says even weekends were calm. But two posts struggled to find a seat, and one found the fifth floor crowded and noisy on a Monday after a holiday.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 20 of 26 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | 5 of 26 posts |
| Lift to the floor | 7 of 26 posts |
| Toilet inside | 3 of 26 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 2 of 26 posts |
From the entrance you go down: two posts say the order counter is half a floor below the door. Below that is a half-basement listening room where drinks are not allowed and you cannot sit. Five posts mention this lower level in all.
Seven posts took the lift up to the fifth floor. One notes the lift and stairs are outside the building, reached from floor 1 or 1.5, and another found the back-and-forth between the ground-floor counter and upper floors a little tiresome.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. We only know the counter is half a floor below the entrance and the lift is outside the building.
Toilets are split by floor: one post found the men's on the second floor and the women's on the third, another lists toilets on floors 1.5 and 3, and one never had to wait because there are two. Two posts confirm separate men's and women's toilets from experience.
No one mentioned: Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 28 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Three posts, all from July to September, found parts of the building warm: the lower floors, the fifth floor, or the whole place.
- No post describes queuing to get in, though two had trouble finding a seat.
- Six posts say the whole cafe is no-kids and no-pets, but all repeat the shop's own notice (citing its stairs and railings) rather than an experience.
- Fifteen posts give hours of 11:00-21:00 daily and nine a last order at 20:30. Floors close earlier, though: two posts say the third floor runs only 11:00-18:00, and one was told by phone that the fifth-floor rooftop closes at 20:30. Upper floors may be shut in the evening.
- Two posts found prices fair for the location. A drink runs 5,500-7,800 won, so with a cake expect roughly 13,000-16,000 won a person.
- Several posts list the phone number 0507-1356-8511; none say whether reservations are taken.
- Two visits were each posted twice on different blogs, and one post reads like templated copy with an unrelated ad link. We counted them all, so read the tallies with that in mind.
