If you meet Ruby, the resident cat, look but don't touch. The cafe sits on the shore along Sokcho's Cheongho coastal road, with five two-person seats lined up at the big window, more seating inside and a rooftop. The coffee has earned five Blue Ribbons, the latte is strikingly nutty, and if you pick something unfamiliar like cinnamon coffee or golden chai, the owner explains how it tastes. Corn custard is the dessert to go with it.
