The new 300 square metre branch, Starbucks Wave (스타벅스웨이브점) is located on the 1st floor of Seoul Wave Art Center, a complex cultural space in Han River Park. The building is built in the middle of Han River and the full floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide a stunning 360-view of the waters.

It's an 18-minute walk away from Subway Line 2 Canyon Station (잠원) Exit 4. That sounds like a long walk but the amazing view might be worth the mini workout!
