Chungmuro & Pildong

충무로·필동

A small roaster among the printing streets.

South of Chungmuro Station, Pildong makes a rewarding bridge between working streets and the foot of Namsan. Hebe is the coffee anchor: choose a brew from its roaster’s menu and consider the chestnut cheesecake. A longer walk can carry you north toward Hanyakbang and Euljiro’s alleys.

Hebe gives the Pildong side of Chungmuro a clear coffee destination, with an official bean shop and a café menu that includes brewing coffee alongside espresso drinks. It is an appealing stop for someone who wants a small roaster’s coffee between walks through the printing streets and the foot of Namsan. The chestnut cheesecake provides a distinctive pairing, while the flat white keeps the choice straightforward for milk-coffee drinkers.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Choose the day’s brewing coffee with chestnut cheesecake, or order a flat white.

Before you goUse the Pildong-ro street address and Nakwon Building name; the café is south of Chungmuro Station, away from the Euljiro alleys.
