This Starbucks in Seoul is so cool! ☕Renovation of the retro theater, travel back to 1960s Korea in a second 🎭Starbucks Jingdong 1960 store (스타벅스 경동1960)

This "Starbucks JD 1960 Store" completely refreshed my imagination of chain coffee brands! It is located in the largest medicinal material market in Seoul, Gyeongdong Market. Walking into the inconspicuous entrance, it turns out to be a cafe that retains the original appearance of the theater. It is really a big surprise✨

The predecessor of this place was the "Jingdong Theater" in the 1960s, and it has now been redesigned into a coffee space full of literary and artistic atmosphere. The wooden stepped seating area not only retains the original location of the auditorium, but is also cleverly transformed into a dining area. The entire store has high and spacious ceilings, paired with dim lights and nostalgic tones. The moment you sit down, you'll really think you're watching a retro stage play!

💡Recommendation reason:
- Great atmosphere! It is both retro and trendy, like a literary and artistic version of a small theater
- The drinks are the same as Starbucks standards, but they taste special
