What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Celeb Paparazzi Cafe for its unique concept, offering unlimited photo opportunities in creatively themed rooms at great value. The experience is fun and easy, even for those who are camera-shy, and provides excellent social media content. While the drinks and food are decent, the overall experience and photo quality are the main draws.
"Hightly recommend this Celeb Paparazzi Cafe 셀럽 파파라치! Most value for money cafe we’ve been to in Korea. The entire experience was super easy and fun, even for socially awkward people.
Per person, it’s 15,000 KRW for a drink and unlimited access to 10 photo zones (무제한 촬영권 - 음료포함). The 10 zones are Front Of House 너의 집 앞, Garage Room 다락룸, Kitsh Room 키치룸, Door Room 도어룸, Antique Room 앤틱룸, Horror Room 호라룸, Attic Room 다락룸 and 3 Cafe spots. Other areas of the cafe like the entrance Red Carpet 레드카펫 and Terrace 테라스 are also nice photo spots. The best part is that you don’t need to set up your own camera or props. Our personal favourites were the Kitsch Room and Attic Room with the floral decorations.
At each zone, scan your personalized QR code. Five photos will be taken at intervals using their camera and filters - some zones even have different effects like black and white. You can scan and take as many photos as you want, and the photos are stored for a week, giving you time to select and download your favorites.
We ended up spending 3 hours there, snapping photos in all the different zones. The zones are either in blind spots or in rooms, so you won’t feel like you’re being watched while taking pictures. Plus, with so many zones available, there’s hardly any waiting. If there is, just sit at the other tables to enjoy your drinks and wait for your turn.
For drinks, we got Earl Grey Milk Tea 얼그레이 밀크티 and Tropical Breeze Ade 트로피컬 브리즈 에이드. We also got a cute 치즈테디 Teddy Cake (Cheese) for an additional 6,500 KRW. The taste was all nothing special. But the experience made up for it.
We went on a Wednesday in June 2024 and there were only 3 other pairs. Will definitely come back with others to explore the other photozones!"

"Ever since seeing the café on social media I was really excited to visit it! And it really did not disappoint. I had the dirty chocolate as a drink and it was really good. The whole interior is so beautiful and the photozones are amazing! You can try a variety of different zones and I loved all the details. It‘s also a good chance to get photos or you if you‘re travelling by yourself. The photos have great quality and I enjoyed the unique concept of the café very much :)"
