Myeongwol Elementary School: A Unique Cafe in a Repurposed Closed School

Here’s a unique cafe in Myeongwol-ri, Hallim-eup.

This place used to be Myeongwol Elementary School, which has since closed, and it’s been renovated into a cafe.

It’s a spot where you can fully soak up a retro vibe you won’t really find elsewhere.

At the sky-blue door photo zone you simply can’t walk past, anyone can walk away with a great shot.

There’s a cafe, of course, but there’s also a small corner shop.

They sell Korean street snacks like tteokbokki and fish cake.

True to its roots as a school, it has a wide playground.

They also sell nostalgic toys and games like kites, jegichagi, and gonggi, making it a great place to spend fun time with kids out on the field.
