Coffee in Euljiro rewards a little attention to entrances. Hanyakbang hides an ornate room in an alley; Champ’s Third Workshop takes you up onto the Daerim Arcade deck. Together they offer two perspectives on a neighborhood where working shops and contemporary cafés still share the streets.
Euljiro 3-ga · Euljiro 4-ga2 considered coffee stops
Find Hanyakbang’s alley entrance for a hand-drip coffee, then walk east toward Daerim Arcade. Visit Champ on the third-floor deck if a second cup appeals.
The approach is part of the pleasure: a narrow Euljiro alley opens into a café full of dark wood and ornate details. Hand-drip coffee gives the room more than nostalgia to offer. Choose it for a distinctly Seoul coffee pause, and look at neighboring Hyemindang if dessert is on the agenda.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
The filter coffee; ask about the current special selection before choosing.
Before you goUse the Korean name to find the alley entrance. Expect narrow passages and stairs in parts of the space.
Champ’s Third Workshop turns an upper level of Daerim Arcade into a memorable coffee stop, pairing its bear-emblem branding with the working atmosphere of Euljiro. Branch menus and visitor accounts document filter coffee, several milk-coffee sizes and beans for sale. It is particularly appealing as one stop in a walk through the arcade rather than a destination for an extended indoor stay. The elevated setting adds another perspective on the surrounding streets.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
Choose a filter coffee or a small Champ milk coffee; the sweet Euljiro Coffee is another listed signature.
Before you goGo to the third-floor arcade deck and find Row Ra, unit 381. Outdoor seating depends on weather.
