Coffee Tour's Gwanghwamun cafe is a small roastery stop on Sajik-ro 10-gil. The counter and bean shelf sit close to the limited seating, with much of the trade going out as takeaway.
Coffee style
Choose hand-drip coffee to try the house beans, or order espresso if you need a quicker drink. Retail beans and brewing gear are part of the offer.
Food
Treat any cake or pastry as a small addition to the coffee. Plan a meal elsewhere if you are spending the day around Gwanghwamun.
What people go for
The feel
Seats are limited and lunchtime orders can build up. This works best for one brewed coffee, a short sit if space allows, and perhaps a bag of beans.
Why Filter Notes has shortlisted Coffee Tour Roasters
Coffee Tour gives the palace area a compact hand-drip stop, with Gyeonghuigung and Gyeongbokgung branches nearby. Choose the branch that fits your route rather than crossing the city for more seating.
