Aesthetically pleasing cafes in Pampanga you'll want to visit

If there’s one thing that’s brought many of us comfort over the past few months, there’s no doubt K-culture would be it. From long nights glued to our screens watching “Start-Up” to waiting for the newest drop from BTS, K-pop and K-dramas made our days in lockdown more bearable by keeping us all entertained.

Since we can’t travel to Korea just yet, the next best thing we can do is take time off to grab coffee and dessert at a Korean cafe instead! A little drive off north, and you’ll find tons of aesthetic and Instagram-worthy Korean cafes in Pampanga. To tempt you, we’ve rounded up 10 aesthetic and charming Korean-inspired coffee shops in the area that could very well be in the middle of Seoul!
