每十五分钟下一场大雨的咖啡厅

Rain Report Café in Seoul is a unique cafe where it rains every 15 minutes and customers are offered umbrellas, rubber boots, and raincoats.

If you find nothing more relaxing than a cup of hot coffee on a rainy day, you’ll probably love the concept of Rain Report Café, a South Korean café where it rains heavily every 15 minutes. Rain is definitely an unusual concept to design a café around but judging by the very positive review score this place currently has, Rain Report is definitely a very special place. Located in the middle of a residential area in Itaewon, Rain Report is almost completely decked in black and lined with bamboo trees, which really makes you feel like you’re outside the busy South Korean capital when the downpour starts. And that happens very frequently.

The café has windows offering a clear view of its inner courtyard, which is where the magic happens. Every quarter hour, regardless of the daily weather forecast, it pours at Rain Report Café. And we’re not talking about a few drops of water, but a heavy downpour that so many of us find relaxing.

Rain Report Café relies heavily on its artificial rain, offering customers the chance to step into its courtyard to experience the heavy rain and even provides free plastic umbrellas, raincoats, and rubber boots. Ever since its soft opening in May of last year, the unique café has become popular with Internet influencers eager to have their pictures taken in the rain. Months after its grand opening in June, Rain Report is still going poplar constantly on South Korean social media.

Because of its popularity, Rain Report Café isn’t the quietest place to enjoy a cup of coffee. There are sometimes lines of customers waiting by the windows to film the downpour, and stepping out into the courtyard more than likely makes you a character in their clips. But if that doesn’t bother you, it’s definitely a must-visit attraction in Seoul.
