Blue Bottle Yeoksam Cafe 블루보틀 역삼 카페

From the street, this Blue Bottle between Gangnam and Yeoksam stations barely shows itself, with a small sign and a room tucked inside an office building. Even at weekday lunch the few, generously spaced tables fill up, leaving a wait or takeaway. The room is simple and modern, with only a handful of chairs that are actually comfortable. New Orleans iced coffee and the Nola Float, whose ice cream is notably smooth, are the signature drinks. Drip coffee tastes clean, and baristas suggest beans to suit you. Both blended and single-origin lattes are offered, and staff walk patiently through the menu when asked.
