Lowkey Seongsu 로우키 성수

On the ground floor, a few sofas ring a triangular table and fill fast, but a larger basement room waits below an entrance that looks like a different shop. Standing bar tables face the counter, and a couple of terrace tables sit outside. Hand-drip coffee is brought to your seat with a short talk on the beans. The Colombia Granja pour-over has a bright, clean acidity that grows more fragrant as the cup cools, while the latte runs dense and nutty. Espresso drinks use one of three house beans, and doughnuts sit by the register for pairing. Open in Seongsu since 2010, Lowkey is the name specialty fans mention alongside Center Coffee.
