☕️ A Floating Christmas Coffee: Holiday Magic at Seoul Wave Starbucks

I visited the Starbucks at Seoul Wave Art Center last Christmas, and it was honestly one of the most memorable café stops of my trip. The weather was chilly, but the moment I stepped inside this floating café on the Han River, it felt warm, festive, and incredibly cozy. The views were magical—floor-to-ceiling windows gave a full panoramic look over the river, with the winter sky casting soft reflections on the water. I had a matcha latte and just sat by the window upstairs, watching the world drift by. The café was lightly decorated for the holidays, and the peaceful atmosphere, combined with the soft sway of the floating structure, made it feel like a little winter hideaway. It was busy, of course—holiday season and all—but I still managed to find a great spot. The crowd was mostly relaxed couples and small groups, enjoying the view and chatting quietly. Everything about the place felt calm, even festive in a low-key way. If you’re in Seoul during the holidays, I’d absolutely recommend dropping by. It’s not just a great café—it’s a truly special experience, especially during Christmas. #summervacay #starbuckswave #seoulchristmas #floatingcafe #hanrivervibes #seoulcafehopping #winterinseoul #coffeewithaview #koreaindecember #holidayinseoul #cozycafemoments #christmascoffeebreak #korea #koreatrip #seoul #seoultrip
