Spring is a magical season in Seoul, where the cherry blossoms bloom and transform the city into a breathtaking sight. One of the best ways to enjoy the cherry blossoms is by visiting a cafe with a view of the delicate pink petals. And one of the most enchanting cafes in Seoul to indulge in this experience is the ‘Dear Moment’.

Location and Wait Time

Located on the 2nd floor of a building on Daeheung Rd., next to the long walking street of the Gyeongui Line Park (경의선공원), Dear moment can be easily accessed by taking Seoul Subway Line 6. Then alight at Daeheung Station (대흥역) and get out of exit 3. Every spring, visitors to the café are in for a treat when the cherry tree lined road starts to turn pinkish white turning the spot into a popular destination during the blooming season. As a result, there may be a wait time when visiting the café during this time of year.

The wait time at Dear Moment can vary depending on the day and time of the visit. On weekends and public holidays, the café can get quite busy, and the wait time may be longer. However, on weekdays, the café is usually less crowded, and the wait time may be shorter.
