Sangsu

상수

From the roasting notes to the river view.

Sangsu gives a coffee afternoon two distinct scales. Protokoll keeps the attention on the current beans and the way they are brewed. At Bean Brothers Coffeehouse Seoul, the seventh-floor view opens the outing toward the Han River. Start with the cup that interests you most and leave time to enjoy the setting.

If you are staying south of Hongdae, this is the convenient way into Protokoll’s thoughtful roasting program. The brand’s attention to recipes and coffee records gives the stop a clear focus. Choose it when you want a second coffee perspective without crossing the city to Yeonhui.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Ask for the current coffee that best matches your preference: fruity, balanced, or chocolate-led.

Before you goThe official site lists Sangsu separately from Yeonhui; navigate to Eoulmadang-ro 2-gil.

Coffeehouse Seoul pairs a specialty-coffee program with a broad view toward the Han River. Visit Seoul describes the seventh-floor café and the more structured coffee experience below, making the choice of floor part of planning a visit. It is particularly appealing when a coffee enthusiast is traveling with someone who mainly wants the scenery. Select a current coffee recommendation, settle by the windows if possible, and allow the river setting to make this the longer stop.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

The current coffee-of-the-month recommendation; for a structured tasting, check the sixth-floor Signal Coffee Bar reservation offering.

Before you goUse the seventh floor for the regular café; the sixth-floor tasting experience requires separate planning or reservation.
