ALL OF THE WEIRDEST ANIMAL CAFÉS IN SEOUL
In South Korea, Coffee Culture is a huge part of life, so it doesn't come as a surprise that Seoul is known for its eccentric cafes, its beautiful cafes, its Instagram-worthy cafes, and, you've guessed it: its animal cafes. Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Meerkats and more, this list sum up all the different animal cafes that you can currently find in Seoul. Please note that the parrot cafe (Wanggwan) and the Galapagos cafe (reptiles) that you might have found in different lists are actually both permanently closed down as of this date. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy some of the weirdest animal cafes I've ever seen.
