Myeongdong

명동

A coffee-first pause in the shopping day.

Myeongdong’s bustle makes a straightforward, roaster-led coffee stop especially welcome. Coffee Libre’s cathedral branch is the one to keep in your address book: choose an espresso drink, ask about the beans, and give the next part of the day a little breathing room.

MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT

Combine Coffee Libre’s cathedral branch with a walk around Myeongdong Cathedral. Continue toward Euljiro only if you want to turn the shopping break into a longer coffee outing.

A useful coffee-first address to keep in your pocket around Myeongdong. This branch brings Coffee Libre’s sourcing-led program into an area where a good coffee stop can otherwise become an afterthought. Go for an espresso drink and take a look at the retail beans.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

A house espresso drink, with a bean recommendation if you are shopping for coffee to take home.

Before you goLook for the cathedral branch and unit number, rather than searching only for the roaster’s name.
