“Since 2020, Floating on the Han River”
This Starbucks location has been open for about two years now, having first opened on September 29, 2020. Being a Starbucks that floats on the Han River, it gained attention from its very opening.
The store has a distinctive atmosphere that sets it apart from other Starbucks locations. While you may feel a slight rocking sensation, much like being on a boat, due to its location on the Han River, it’s not as pronounced as you might expect.
