Cafe de Enfant in Yongsan is a cafe designed with families in mind, particularly those with young children looking for a safe and tidy play environment within the city. Nestled on the fourth floor of the Dae-A building near Namyeong Station, it offers parents a convenient spot to unwind while their little ones have a decent chunk of space to play and explore, typically for a couple of hours.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between calm and child-friendly energy. It’s not a large facility, so it feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Attention to cleanliness and upkeep is clear, with well-maintained toys and play areas that parents seem to appreciate. The inclusion of a free drink with admission adds value and encourages adults to linger a bit, making it less of a quick drop-off and more of a relaxed outing.

Visitors often find the setting comfortable for babies and toddlers, especially since children under one year enter for free, though proof of age is politely requested if there’s any doubt. The staff, including the owner, have been noted for being warm and accommodating to foreigners—an added comfort in a foreign city. English communication flows smoothly, making it easier for expat families or travelers to feel welcome.

Despite its focus on kids, the cafe also serves light refreshments like smoothies that get positive nods, showing the adult side isn’t forgotten. The space is quiet and well-suited for weekend visits when families tend to look for gentle activities and a break from the busier streets of Seoul.

One small note from regulars is about the entertainment setup near the trampoline area, suggesting tweaks could improve the experience for children without overstimulation. Still, it’s clear that this spot aims to be a practical, clean, and secure hub for parents seeking a local play cafe that doesn’t feel commercialized or sprawling.

Best for parents with children under the age of 3 who want a clean, contained area for play combined with a cozy spot to rest. Best time to visit is during weekend mornings or early afternoons, when the vibe is relaxed and staff can offer personal attention. It fits well into the neighborhood as a quiet refuge from the city's hustle, easily accessible via public transit for locals and expats alike.

Good place to play for few hours but I think they don’t need a cartoon playing where the trampoline is. Definitely would recommend

This place is amazing, a safe and clean place for our 9 month old to play. We will definitely come back whenever we’re in Seoul.

This is one of the best kids cafe. The place is not big but it’s sufficient for kids to play for 2h. It comes with a free drink as well which is a bonus. The toys are well maintained (working and not broken) which is pretty rare for a kids cafe. It’s conveniently located just outside of namyeong train station.

We had a wonderful time here on a Saturday night, was very calm and clean. Our strawberry smoothie was refreshing. We also met the owner who was very polite and engaging, she and her staff made us feel welcome being english speaking foreigners. Would recommend visiting for children 1-6yrs.

My little girl loved this place. It's free for under 1s. But if they look close to 1, make sure you bring ID to prove their age. Very clean. If you buy a drink, adult admission is free.

Essentially it starts at 11.5k/h with a drink included (7k/h play fee, plus either one drink or 4.5k per adult). It isn't huge, but there's a ton of stuff to do - slides, play kitchens, a mini piano, dress-up costumes, stuffed animals, a trampoline room, and much more. Suitable even for toddlers under 2. My milk tea was tasty enough but I didn't chill much since my daughter is little and needs a lot of helicoptering. Just think of it as a playplace more than a cafe. It opens quite late, at 11 am. 10 or 10:30 would be nice. But overall I totally recommend this place.

Very cool kids cafe. The owners are very friendly and kids love this place. So many toys, and options to spend their energy. I found out there are mainly foreigners parents that take there kids to this place. The day I went there were a German lady speaking English very loudly with their mommy friends. It was a Little bit annoying but there is much you can do. They serve drinks and food. They also offer me a free drink for my son, which it was a pretty positive thing.

Located above the Krispy Kreme. Take the elevator to 4th floor. Kids 1 and up pay an hourly fee to play and guardians need to order at least a drink. The drinks and food are not bad and reasonably priced. Watch your head as there are low ceilings everywhere. They squeezed in a "second" floor for kids to play in.
