A dabang (Korean다방) is a Korean-language term for any establishment that primarily serves non-alcoholic drinks. The concept is comparable to that of cafes or teahouses.

Even modern non-Korean coffee chains like Starbucks can be referred to as dabangs. Some have dubbed Starbucks Byeoldabang (별다방; lit. Star Dabang).
