Second Coffee 세컨드 커피

Wooden tables, potted plants by the window and soft classical music set the mood in a small room tucked off Seosulla-gil, an alley walk from Jongno 3-ga Station exit 7 toward Changdeokgung Palace. With roughly eight seats, the cafe fits a quiet cup alone or a conversation for two better than a group outing. Espresso is the draw: heavy and firm without harsh bitterness, while con panna softens it under a layer of cream. Americano comes with a choice of bold, medium or acidic beans, and staff explain how each one tastes. Irish coffee with whiskey stays off the printed menu as a hidden option.
