Tonti is a tiny specialty coffee shop in Jongno, 50m from Anguk Station, known for drinks such as the Tonti Baby and filter coffee. The Tonti Baby has a thin layer of cream on top that is less sweet than a typical cream latte; drinking it together with the milk underneath reveals a gentle sweetness that lets the coffee flavor come through cleanly. For filter coffee, the owner lets guests smell the beans and recommends one based on preference. The Ethiopian natural has a pleasant balance of acidity and nuttiness, served at a comfortable temperature rather than scalding hot. The space is quite small, so neighboring conversations are audible, but the cozy color palette and the owner's genuine passion for coffee give the shop a charming feel. Weekday afternoon visits are the best choice for a quieter experience.
