Hi, this is Loah’s dad!
If you’re visiting Korea in September or October, I want to introduce you to this place!
The cafe bakery pair is the place to find out what’s trending in Korea, and also now you can find out what’s trending in the world.
It showcases the most famous cafes in Korea, as well as the most popular drinks and items that will be trending in the future.
The drinks are basically coffee and juices, and you can sample baked goods and desserts to your heart’s content, available for purchase.
Now, let me tell you a little bit more about the cafe bakery pair.
The Seoul Cafe Show, which I mentioned last time, is a little more specialized and a lot bigger.

Today’s Cafe Bakery Fair is smaller than the Seoul Cafe Show.
It is characterized by many people trying to sell their products and many people trying to buy desserts.
A lot of young students in their teens and twenties come here for a casual date or to buy their favorite desserts.
In short, it is a more casual place to see than the Seoul Cafe Show.

●Approximate location
As you can see, the venue for October is Kintex, located in northwest Seoul.
In September, the venue is Setec in the southeast of Seoul.
Coincidentally, the locations are diametrically opposed to each other.
In fact, Setec is more convenient for foreigners.
●How to get there
If you start at Chungmuro Station,
Both Setec and Kintex are easily accessible from Chungmuro Station on Line 3.
- Setec is 15 stops and about 30 minutes from Chungmuro in the direction of Ogeum. After that, you can easily reach it by following the signposts.
- How to get to Kintex – Take Line 3 toward Daehwa. Get off at the terminus.
It takes about 55 minutes. (22nd stop)
Take Exit 2 and go straight ahead, it takes about 17 minutes.
This is what really looks like when you exit at exit 2.
If you walk straight for at least 15 minutes, you will see a huge building.
That’s Kintex.
●How to make a reservation
https://www.cafenbakeryfair.com/myreg/myreg5 <–booking site
Cafe Bakery Fair doesn’t actually support foreign languages.
However, you can pre-register with a free translator.
I’ll capture and show you how to pre-register.
The red color is the “pre-registration” lettering.
The upper of the two buttons is “pre-registration”.
You’ll need to use a translator from here on out.
Actually, you can take anything in the bottom checkbox. hahaha
Good luck.
Although it looks difficult, it’s actually so easy that Koreans do it with ease, so give it a try!
If you missed the “pre-booking” in August, you can still pay online later. In this case, you will pay 6,000 won.
Actually, the easiest way is to just show up, pay 15,000 won, eat as much as you want, and go.
HaHaHa.😁😁😁
●Tips from a Loah’s Dad
- Not recommended on weekends as there are too many people.
- KINTEX is far away, so I recommend the September event, Setec.
- There are more things to buy than you think, so you may spend a lot.
- Be sure to use the pre-registration described above to get in for free.
●A short introduction to the exhibit hall
You have a variety of desserts on display.
They are for business purposes and for sale.
Even here, foreigners ask us questions
Everywhere we go, people ask us something hahahahaha.
It’s a lot of people.
I also do the occasional wine tasting.
There are lots of tasting events.
●Why chose this place
When traveling in Korea, many tourists take similar courses such as Myeongdong, Jongno, and Hanbok experience,
If you have time to spare and are interested in coffee or sweets, I thought this would be a good tourist course.
There is a bakery fair, a dessert show, the World Food Industry Exhibition, etc in Korea
If anyone is interested, please comment or email me and I will give you more details.
●Next
the weather is too hot for me to travel with Loah.
I will show you a better place with Loah soon.
See you next time!
