Give Fritz’s Jangchung branch time to unfold. Its coffee-and-bakery formula spreads into a cluster of older houses, with a fuller food offering if a pastry will not quite do. A cappuccino and croissant remain an easy introduction, but the setting is a reason to linger beyond the first cup. Work it into a walk between Dongguk University and Gwanghuimun, leaving room to enjoy the buildings as well as the counter.
Order a cappuccino or Americano with a croissant or the listed salt fougasse.
Before you goNavigate to the official entrance address, 11 Dongho-ro 24-gil; the Jangchung complex spans several older buildings.
