Gildong

Terarosa's Gildong café suits a longer pause in eastern Seoul. The concrete interior, high ceiling and book-filled shelving are distinctive, and the branch's hand-drip menu gives coffee drinkers a reason to linger beyond the setting. It is a useful choice when you want a familiar Korean specialty roaster with more room than a neighborhood counter. Go with time to read the available coffees and choose a brew, adding something from the bakery if the visit becomes lunch.
