Must Visit picks

One of the few stops in this city worth planning a coffee visit around.

Euljiro 3-ga / Jung-gu, Seoul

A hidden Euljiro flagship for hand-drip, house-roasted beans, and a four-floor room split across two buildings.

Yeonnam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Seoul's original Yeonnam roastery cafe: direct-trade coffee, hand-drip, bean retail, and cupping culture that still anchors the brand.

Mapo-gu / Dohwa-dong, Seoul

Dohwa flagship for house-roasted coffee, strong bread and pastries, and a converted-house room that still feels essential.
