Located in Insadong where it is always bustling with both Koreans and foreigners, there is a garden hidden in a café. ‘Secret Garden’ is divided into three sections. The indoors, a terrace that is partially outside, and a secret garden. The garden’s decoration resembles an ancient Korean palace, which suits the various types of traditional tea served at the café. That is why you can enjoy the scent of jujube tea, chrysanthemum tea, and quince tea while having a talk with your companion or while reading a book.
