Café Hopping: which types it suits

Café hopping is a date where you change the setting to keep the conversation going. Pick a neighbourhood full of distinctive cafés, like Seongsu, Yeonnam or Ikseon-dong in Seoul, and move between two or three: dessert at one, admiring the space at the next, a long talk at the last. Every change of scene nudges the topic along, so there's never a lull.

It suits couples who love talking face to face and enjoy the feel of a place. Plenty of people keep a saved list of cafés they want to try, so swapping lists and planning the route is where the date begins. Popular spots can have long weekend waits, so get to the first one around opening time. By the end of the day, one of them will probably have become your regular.
