Just happened upon this little place and it was a real find. Nice coffee, either Ethiopia or Brazilian (we had Ethiopian) and little pastries. A little expensive but actually really good coffee. Love the inside design & it’s attached to a small clothing shop too. If you are finish up at Hanok village walk down here for a nice pick me up

That gentleman who works here saw my brother and me eating one of their pastries, which was delicious, and kindly brought us hand cleaning wipes. I read the customer service here may be subpar but I can see they probably came here when it was slammed with customers. The coffee had the earth tones of a superior coffee bean that was not overly roasted. It was a bit not as hot as I prefer, but suitable.
