Autumn is known as the season of reading. These days, when the autumn sky and the cool breeze blow, I am so eager to spend time with books. Especially recently, book cafes have a variety of features, so you can spend a relaxing time with a book. How about indulging in the autumn atmosphere while nourishing your mind at a book cafe? It's also a great place to spend a quiet time charging for myself during the Chuseok holiday. From your dream library to a book space where you can enjoy a book with a beer! Here are 5 book cafes you'd like to visit alone on a fall day.
