파벤 Paben
Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →
A blue-fronted cafe opposite the Musinsa store, a walk down Yeonmujang-gil from exit 3 of Seongsu Station. An americano is 5,000 won (four posts) and a latte 6,000; people mostly order the Fabenchio, a pistachio-cream latte, the apple yogurt ice cream (8,500 won), and bakes such as lemon pound cake, banana bread and Berliner doughnuts. We read 30 posts from 10 March to 25 September 2026, set aside two about other places and three that never visited, and counted the remaining 25.

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
- Space is what people mention most: 21 of the 25 visits called the room large, often adding that tables are well apart and there are long shared wooden tables. Six mentioned the high ceiling.
- Seven posts noticed many foreign customers, one saying they outnumbered Koreans; menus come in Korean and English. Many posts repeat that BTS member RM's sister runs the cafe, but all as hearsay, so we do not count it.
- Six posts described seats at the big front windows, including solo seats facing the street and trees.
- Eight posts walked from exit 3 of Seongsu Station, giving times of 5, 6–8 and 10–15 minutes.

Three posts said the cafe has no parking; one driver used the Musinsa car park opposite. One post's copied info block says parking is available out front, which we do not rely on.

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
Eight posts walked from exit 3 of Seongsu Station, giving times of 5, 6–8 and 10–15 minutes.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 2 (of 25 posts read) |
|---|
No post described the floor from experience; only the address says ground floor.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller fits. Nobody wrote about it, which is not the same as there being a problem.
The toilet is not inside the cafe: two posts said you go through a connecting door to the building's shared restroom, one adding it was clean. Another just said a door opens onto the toilet. No one said whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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, 3 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
- No one reported waiting. One post walked straight in at 3–4 pm on a weekend but found it nearly full; others found one table left or the room mostly full.
- Noise is disputed: three posts found it quiet, one said the room echoes and conversations carry.
- Power outlets are unclear: one post said there are none, another thought the inner tables had them. Two posts confirmed wifi.
- Five posts went with friends; one went with a mother and one with a weekly study group. None went with children.
- Fourteen posts list opening hours of 10:00–21:00 daily, eleven with last orders at 20:30, but all are copied info blocks. No post mentions a closing day.
- Prices vary by post: the Fabenchio appears as 7,000 won in July 2026, 5,500 in August and 6,500 in a copied September menu. Two posts thought a 5,000-won americano fair for Seongsu; one found the 8,500-won ice cream not cheap.
- Seven posts give the phone number 070-8888-4565. Nobody mentioned whether reservations are taken.
