Genshin Impact’s Seoul Café Brings the World of Teyvat to Life
Genshin Impact café in Seoul offers much more than a themed meal. Visitors order food on the ground floor, eat across two café floors, then explore a play area and a store stocked with official merchandise. Since October 29, the venue has generally allowed entry without advance reservations, although some times or events may still require them. The five-story space offers a look at what a dedicated Genshin destination can be, just as Japan prepares to open its first permanent café for the game in Tokyo on January 20, 2027.
A trip to the Genshin Impact café in Seoul can take visitors through an entire five-story building devoted to the game. Food is only part of the draw. The venue also has places to take photos, play games, make small crafts, and browse official merchandise.
What’s inside the café?
Visitors order and collect their food on the first floor before heading to café seating on the second or third. The second floor also has a photo spot inspired by Nad Cry. Fans can leave messages on the café’s windows, where a Game*Spark visit found notes that appeared to be from travelers from Japan.
The fourth-floor Play Zone adds crane games, gacha machines, a photo booth for pictures with merchandise, and an area for making small crafts. On the fifth floor, a permanent store sells official Genshin Impact goods, including previously released items and products less commonly seen in Japan.
That layout makes the café more than a place to stop for lunch. Visitors can move from a meal to activities and shopping without leaving the Genshin-themed building.
Do visitors need a reservation?
The Seoul café switched to a general free-entry system without advance reservations on October 29. That does not guarantee walk-in access at every time or for every event, since reservations may still be required in some circumstances.
Fans in Japan will soon have another permanent option. The country’s first permanent Genshin Impact café is scheduled to open at Yurakucho Marui in Tokyo on January 20, 2027. The Seoul venue, meanwhile, shows how far the idea can extend beyond a themed menu when a whole building is given over to the game.
