Best coffee spots in Seoul
Fritz Coffee Company
A specialty roastery in Mapo-gu with a bakery producing Seoul's best cinnamon rolls. The espresso is excellent, the space is industrial-chic, and the brand (a cute seal mascot) is beloved.
Anthracite Coffee
A roastery in a converted shoe factory in Hapjeong. The exposed brick, machinery, and massive windows create Seoul's most atmospheric coffee space. The single-origin filters are outstanding.
Café Onion Anguk
A cafe inside a restored traditional hanok near Gyeongbokgung. The traditional exterior hides a modern interior with excellent pastries and coffee. The pandoro bread is their famous signature.
Blue Bottle Coffee Seongsu
The first Korean Blue Bottle in a converted warehouse with outdoor seating. The minimalist design is gorgeous and the drip coffee is pristine. The Seongsu location captures the neighbourhood's creative energy.
Mesh Coffee
A tiny specialty cafe in Seongsu with meticulous pour-overs and a scientific approach to brewing. The owner trained in Melbourne and brings Australian coffee standards to Korean beans.
Namusairo
A plant-filled cafe in Itaewon with living walls and excellent matcha lattes. The terrace is lush and green — a tropical escape from the city. The banana bread and the flat whites are both excellent.
Felt Coffee
A minimalist roastery in Jongno-gu with a focus on light roasts and single origins. The tasting notes are precise and the baristas guide you through the menu. Serious coffee for connoisseurs.
Almondine Bakery
A French-Korean bakery in Yeonnam-dong with outstanding croissants and strong coffee. The salted butter croissant is flaky perfection and the garden seating is lovely on sunny mornings.
