An espresso bar in a converted house on Seongmisan-ro 29-gil, an alley off the Gyeongui Line Forest Park in Yeonnam-dong. It serves Italian-style espresso and tiramisu, plus cocktails and beer. Espresso drinks start at 2,500 won standing at the bar; seated, the first cup of any espresso drink is 4,500. An Americano is 5,500, tiramisu 7,500 and the banana-crumble tiramisu 9,500 (posts from September–October 2026). We read 30 posts dated 22 September to 9 October 2026; 26 were first-hand visits. One disclosed sponsorship; the rest said nothing either way.

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
- 23 of the 26 visits mention the terrace, a side yard with wooden tables under parasols. Two posts ended up indoors because it was full — one said it was the first time they'd seen even the benches taken. One evening visitor complained of mosquitoes; another saw heaters and blankets set out for cold days.
- 18 posts say it is far bigger inside than it looks. From the street you see only the counter and a bench along the wall, but rooms keep opening up behind — one writer said it runs on 'like a maze'. There is a room done with a lighting brand and another that opens onto the terrace through folding doors.
- Six posts mention the big windows; one side of the inner room is opened right up to the terrace, and writers liked those seats for the light and breeze.
- 'Pets allowed' appears in most of the copied info blocks, but four posts describe seeing it for themselves. Two found paper cups for dogs set beside the water station, and one says dogs may come indoors as well as onto the terrace. The menu has a 'puppuccino' for dogs.
2 more
- Five posts are from repeat customers — one has been dropping in since it opened in 2021, another usually takes the little corridor tables when coming alone.
- Two posts mention a happy hour: one read a wall notice saying spritzes and beer are buy-one-get-one on weekdays from 5 to 7 pm; the other just notes 1+1 from 5 to 7.

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
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 2 (of 25 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 1 of 25 posts |
Nobody says whether there is a step at the door or whether they got in with a wheelchair or pushchair — we simply don't know. Two posts say the cafe is on the ground floor, and one notes stairs on the facade.
Accounts of the toilet differ: one post says it is inside, two put it at the far end of the terrace or behind the building. All three found it clean. No one says whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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 28 posts we gathered, 3 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
- No post describes queuing. One writer had passed it up before because it was always busy, another found weekends crowded but weekday afternoons quiet. Two posts say drinks came out quickly.
- Eighteen posts give hours, 17 of them 9 am to 11 pm; one says it opens at 10. Most are copied from the Naver listing, and one also passes on a closure on Chuseok day.
- Prices mostly agree, but decaf Americano is 6,200 won in one post and 5,500 in another. The 2,500 vs 4,500 won espresso prices reflect standing at the bar versus sitting down.
- Fourteen posts give the phone number 0507-1356-8632; one gives a different number. No post mentions making or being able to make a reservation.
- Twenty-eight posts landed within three weeks, many with identical hashtags. Only one disclosed sponsorship, so we counted the rest post by post as silent on funding. Claims like 'opened in 2021', the Blue Ribbon award and the lamps being for sale are the shop's own words passed along, and we did not rely on them.
