Sillim

신림

Upstairs for coffee and cheesecake.

Sillim’s busy food streets make an upstairs coffee room feel like a change of pace. Matisse pairs brewing coffee with Basque cheesecake and a wooden interior. Choose it for an afternoon break, then return to the alleys or head toward Dorimcheon.

Upstairs above Sillim's busy restaurant alleys, Matisse offers coffee with a proper dessert. Hand-drip choices and retail beans give the coffee enthusiast a reason to visit, while Basque cheesecake makes the invitation easier for everyone else. The wooden interior provides a softer setting than the street outside. Make it an afternoon pause and ask which brewing coffee would work with the cake you choose.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Hand-drip coffee with Basque cheesecake.

Before you goGo upstairs to the second floor; the 2026 review reports one drink per person and a basic two-hour stay.
