Idle Moments (CLOSED)

For a cozier atmosphere, head to Idle Moments, a white-walled, natural wood-filled space overlooking a quieter Hongdae side street. Order the pudding if you can (it sells out quickly) for an extra holiday treat. This is the ideal café for quiet conversations with a few family members back home—best not to try calling into a holiday party. (Twitter @ahohkk)
