The Coffee Seongsu is a global coffee brand that started in Brazil in 2017, making its debut in Korea inspired by Japan’s takeout coffee culture. The store, with its natural atmosphere blending gable roofs and brick interiors, specializes in takeout, and has limited seating. The Japanese signage is a unique touch, and orders and payments are processed via screen.
Unfortunately, there are no decaffeinated options. However, the iced Americano and iced cafe latte boast a well-balanced flavor with a slight hint of acidity. For true coffee enthusiasts, we recommend opting for two shots of espresso rather than one, and as customer reviews suggest, you can experience delicious coffee here. Simple merchandise like eco-bags are also displayed on one side of the store, catching the eye.
The Coffee Seongsu is conveniently located between Ttukseom Station and Seoul Forest stations, offering good accessibility. If you’re visiting Seongsu-dong and seeking a special coffee experience, we recommend stopping by. The original article provides more photos and a vivid account of the visit.
