Yeongdeungpo / Times Square

영등포 / 타임스퀘어

A little brick history beside the mall.

There is a worthwhile coffee detour on the edge of Times Square. Coffee Libre and Owolui Jong share the old textile-company office building, combining a sourcing-focused roaster with a bread stop. It is a useful pause around Yeongdeungpo’s larger retail streets.

MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT

Find the separate brick building beside Times Square for coffee and bread. Add Mullae’s Bossa Nova only if you want to extend the walk west.

Look beyond the mall for the old brick office building beside Times Square. Here Coffee Libre shares a destination with Owolui Jong, the bakery also known as Maybell. The pairing is particularly useful for a mixed group: the changing brew gives coffee enthusiasts something to explore, while bread makes the break feel generous. Take a moment with the building before returning to the busy shopping streets.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

This week’s brewed coffee with bread from Owolui Jong.

Before you goLook for the separate old Gyeongseong Textile office building, unit 112; cupping schedules need a fresh check.
