WHY GO

Take the stairs for a coffee room that rewards your attention. At 3F/LOBBY, filter coffee arrives with separate vessels on an individual wooden tray, turning the simple act of sitting with a brew into the focus of the visit. The considered upstairs setting suits a slower stop. PONT is close by on the same little street, making this an easy two-café comparison without spending the afternoon crossing Seoul.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Choose a filter brew from the current selection; ask whether The Lobby Blend or a decaffeinated option is available.
