Dohwa Books & Dohwa Apartment (@dohwa_apt ) - Mapo
(@dohwabooks)

[Locals and foreigners read books together]

The space I would like to introduce today is a building with an unusual exterior located next to Samsung Apartment in Dohwa-dong, Mapo-gu. In this space, locals and foreigners coexist. The entire building is run by a cafe called Dohwa Apartment. Orders can be placed in the basement. There is a cafe on the basement and first floors, a roasting room and cafe on the second floor, and a bookstore called #DohwaBooks on the third floor. If you order a drink, you can sit down and read a sample book.

Coffee is delicious as they run their own roastery. My favorite is cold brew. Personally, I like the cold brew here the most. Recently, coffee beans, capsules, dream bags, and cold brew undiluted solutions are also being sold through the smart store. I want to buy and sell. If it doesn't sell, it's better for me to eat it.

Dohwa Books on the 3rd floor is an independent bookstore that collects various fields from humanities to art books. I fell in love with the stories and books about the cities of Paris and London. There was also a book by Architect Hyeonjun Yoo, and I felt that he was very interested in the city and space as it is the only complex cultural space in Dohwa-dong. I know that they also play a role as a local community by holding reading groups and lectures, but I would like to participate if the time is right.

Recently, they also sell HACCP-certified bakeries, and I know that they opened a second store inside a hotel in Myeong-dong. Although it is an #independent bookstore and cafe in front of the house that only I want to know, we actively support growth and expansion because our city will only revive when there are more and more spaces like this. It is my hope that the Dohwa Company will successfully settle down as a single brand, like Able Coffee Group (Bean Brothers).
