A specialty espresso bar in Huam-dong, Yongsan-gu, regarded as one of the top espresso destinations in the district. The menu builds on a strong espresso base with variations including macchiato, con panna, and cappuccino. The cinnamon cappuccino and cinnamon-cream con panna pair rich, thick cream with espresso to pleasing effect. Lattes are praised for their clean extraction, and the strappazzato (coffee sorbet) is a lesser-known favorite. Sparkling water is served alongside each drink for palate cleansing. Croissants and cookies are available as light accompaniments. Early morning hours make it convenient for a pre-work espresso, and many regulars stop by on weekend morning walks. The owner is welcoming and the cafe is dog-friendly, including large breeds.
