Cheongdam

청담

Let espresso be the whole occasion.

Cheongdam’s luxury-shopping streets also make room for a focused espresso break. Leesar offers short preparations that invite you to taste one or two variations and move on. It is an appealing counterpoint to the city’s big bakery cafés.

Leesar's Cheongdam branch is an appealing place to make espresso the whole occasion. A detailed branch review documents both the standing bar and table seating, with different prices depending on how you use the space. Short espresso drinks, including variations with cream or citrus, encourage tasting more than one preparation. The small cups and focused menu make this a better fit for an intentional coffee break than a long laptop session, especially for someone curious about Seoul's espresso-bar culture.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Espresso, followed by Caffè Fruito if the lemon-slush variation is available.

Before you goAsk about bar-versus-table pricing before sitting; older review hours differ from the current official directory.
