Compiled from 18 blog posts read in fullSources →
An Italian-style espresso bar and brunch café at Yeonmujang 17-gil 5, ground floor, in Seongsu-dong. It serves small-cup espresso drinks (piccolo and croccantino at 6,000 won, leopard at 5,800 won), tiramisu and crostata, and ciabatta panini such as the truffle parma. We read 30 posts dated 6 July to 3 October 2026: five were about the Yeouido Hyundai branch or another café and were set aside, five were lists, compiled introductions or the shop's own blog, and 20 describe an actual visit.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Seven posts mention how many foreign customers there were; one guessed 80 percent, another described hearing other languages all around. One post added that the staff were foreign too.
- Seven posts mention outdoor seats under pink parasols out front. In August 2026 one couple started outside and moved in for the air conditioning; another visitor ate outside because there were no indoor seats, even on a weekday.
- Six posts say the room is small and none say it is roomy: tables are close together and not large, and one post thought it a poor fit for a group. One post found the chairs uncomfortable.
- Four posts say they waited, two of them on weekends; another found a seat free on a weekend, and one went on a weekday near opening and had the room nearly to herself. No post said how many minutes it waited. One noted that drinking an espresso standing at the bar skips the line.
2 more
- Three posts found portions generous, one stopping halfway through a truffle parma. One post disagreed: a single peppino panino left two people still hungry.
- Four posts are from repeat visitors, including one who first came several years ago and one who stops by on every trip to Seongsu.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
3 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 18 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 18 posts |
No post described from experience which floor the seating is on or whether there are stairs; the ground-floor address is copied from the listing.
No post says whether the entrance has a step or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. That means nobody wrote about it, not that there is a problem.
Two posts mention the toilet: one used a separate men's and women's toilet on the second floor and found it less tidy than the café; the other said it is on the second floor of the building next door. No post placed it inside the café.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 23 posts we gathered, 5 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Three posts said from experience that it is walkable from Seongsu station; the '10 minutes from exit 3' and '650 m' figures are copied from listings.
- Fourteen posts give the same opening hours, 11:00 to 19:00, all copied from listings. Thirteen say it opens daily; one says it closes on Mondays, and another noted that sources disagree on this. Check the closing day before you go.
- Few prices come from receipts. Espresso at 4,800 won and the truffle parma at 18,500 won are copied from the September 2026 online menu; prices visitors actually paid include 6,000 won for a piccolo or croccantino, 5,800 won for a leopard, 8,500 won for a dirty chai, and 27,000 won for a truffle parma with extras. One post found the panini fairly expensive.
- Eight posts give the phone number as 0507-1354-9616; one list post gives 070-4036-9616. On reservations we only have one post that heard groups of four or more can book through Naver and one that copied the listing; nobody wrote about actually booking.
- Four posts about the Hyundai Seoul branch in Yeouido are excluded from these counts. One post disclosed a discount from a review platform, and it alone describes the interior as warm wood tones, at odds with every other post. Two posts written by the shop itself, a pop-up announcement and the story of its April 2021 opening, were not counted.
