I discovered this café via google maps and I found it to be a very relaxing place where I could study and get some work done. The coffee was really nice and the staff was very friendly. Maybe I didn't arrive during rush hour, but the place felt very empty. I wish there were a bit more people to add to the atmosphere. I'll try the pastries next time around.

The cafe had more of a commercial vibe than that of a boutique roastery. The coffee was decent, and the service was friendly.

The Good: - The beans for the drip coffee is versatile and have vibrant flavors. Kenya is highly recommended - Their flat white was made like a latte with more traditional almost dark roast coffee - They roast their own coffee beans - Nice ambiance with a plenty of seats The Not So Good: - They only have two workers and you can sense they’re overwhelmed

This is a pure coffee hunters place. Always consistently fresh coffees and great drip coffee as well. Has been here for quite a few years. Coming from Melbourne I’m way too picky with my brew. This place is worth the visit down a lane way in Apgujeong Rodeo area in Kangnam. So much to see here in rodeo and Mark Lane is in the middle of it. Get here it’s worth it.

It is always a treat to find a coffee shop that roasts their own beans.

A cozy coffee spot in Apgujeong Rodeo that serves solid coffee, especially their drip brew. It’s a laid-back place to unwind, away from the overly fancy cafés in the area. Do drop by if you’re looking for serious coffee.
