Milo Coffee Roasters 밀로커피로스터스

A wall packed with teacups sets the tone in this small roastery, which has only a handful of seats and stays calm despite sitting in busy Hongdae. Its Mont Blanc is a Vienna-style coffee: soft sweet cream over a lightly acidic espresso, with the coffee still noticeable to the last sip. The Americano is smooth with little bitterness, gentle enough for people who usually skip black coffee, and the hot latte leans nutty. Beans tilt toward acidity without overdoing it. A moist lemon madeleine is the standard pairing. The roaster has been listed in the Blue Ribbon Survey for years.
