These days, cafes seem to be evolving into complex cultural spaces where you can enjoy not only coffee but also space and brand. Regardless of size, we have gathered places with unique spaces and concepts.
CMG COFFEE BAR
"The energy of Chungmugong is in Yeonnam-dong"
It was famous for the turtle ship sculpture in Songpa-gu.
Chungmugong Coffee Bar has moved to Yeonnam-dong and is now open.
It is no longer possible to see the solemn turtle ship-shaped coffee bar.
Put the turtle ship's head on top of the kitchen
It seems to inherit the concept of the existing store.
The interior is much brighter and more modern than before,
Even a bar table is equipped to fill with customers in a variety of ways
Looking forward to the future.

Chungmugong Coffee Bar seems to have become famous as an object of the turtle ship,
A lot of people come here because of the taste of coffee.
The coffee I ordered was a coffee bean with a pink bourbon scent.
Demselves' bourbon cask beans, which have been impressive recently,
I liked it because it was similar.
Drinking it at night is like drinking whiskey,
The day ended in a pleasant way with the aroma filling the mouth.
The strong energy of Chungmugong is felt in Yeonnam-dong, not in Gwanghwamun or Songpa.
This delicious place should be known to the enemy as well.

"Useful created by Useless"
As I was walking down the streets of Bomun-dong, I saw only the frugal exterior.
A place I passed because I thought it would be similar to other emotional cafes.
It was a big mistake.
As you open the door and enter the store,
Everyone admired the unexpected interior, saying 'Wow'.
-
The name of this place is Useless Adult.
Self-esteem is downgrading
Is this a word that represents the modern people?
Names that should be felt negatively
Rather, it feels familiar.
Most of the items inside are old.
If you look closely, all of these are 'Useless Adult'
I think it is very similar to the name of the store.
Things that have been dismissed as outdated and are of no use to anyone.
But they are here as atmosphere, as art, as history,
A new use is given to compose the space.
The same is true of the space itself that retains the shape of the old prison.

<Sweet Secret of Salesman Kantaro> is on Netflix these days
I enjoy watching Japanese dramas.
One dessert at a time
It's a comedy that tells a story.
I was really curious about the dessert called 'Anmitsu' that I saw on the train that day.
Anmitsu is based on red bean and agar agar jelly (pudding).
It is served with sweet fruit or ice cream.
The colorful taste with red beans is quite similar to shaved ice.
I vowed to try the anmitsu when I go to Japan soon.
I came to the appointment, what happened?
As if by fate, Anmitsu was sold here.

"A vegan cafe opened on Gyeongnidan-gil (?)"
The invisible hand of a backward town,
Glow Seoul also introduced a new space on Gyeongridan-gil.
'Is the road between Gyeongni and Gyeongni so backward?' even if you want
Looking back on the hot Gyeongnidan-gil in the early to mid 2010s,
If you look at the revival of various neighborhoods including Seongsu-dong.
The recent Gyeongridan-gil road seems to be difficult to revive.
It is true that we are walking downhill.
So, Glow Seoul follows Ikseon-dong, Soje-dong, and Changsin-dong.
Start a new project in Gyeongnidan-gil, which has been honored in a relatively short period of time.
Namsan University Project.
-
It is not yet known how far the scope of this project will be.
This Savage Garden is based on the concept of 'Botany' of Namsan University.
The whole building is decorated in an exotic atmosphere.
The inner walls of the building are covered with plants, while the seed storage room, lecture room, etc.
If Hogwarts actually existed, it would feel like this.
Probably because he majored in plants, drinks and desserts are mostly vegan.
A vegan restaurant is also set up in the other connected building.
For those who like vegans, it's worth a look around.
In addition, as it is a part of the Glow Seoul project,
Sharing accumulated points with Cheongsudang and hot springs
Points worth knowing.
-
So, what is the next new department, President?
It seems that veganism is enough with the Department of Botany.

YM Espresso Room
โI trust that baristaโ
Finally, you will receive delicious coffee.
The second space of the YM Coffee Project created with the motif of a cathedral.
This place that shows an unconventional location selection as much as the concept
It is located on the first floor of Raemian Apartment, Gupabal.
Music that feels as good as a place to reverence
It flows from the speaker on the back towards the seat,
The design that appeals to sight from the front and hearing from the back is very admirable.
If the first space in the extension handles filter coffee
This place serves espresso and some non-coffee.
Those who like filter coffee may be disappointed, but
A place you should visit at least once because of the space.

โAnother Worldโ
This is an art academy on the second floor,
There is a pizza shop and real estate on the first floor.
The basement of a typical apartment complex.
If you go down the mysterious underground staircase,
A secret light leaks through the green door,
Hogwarts stop sign next to the door
It feels like a door to another world.
And when you enter the door, a completely different world unfolds.
I wondered if this was the Dangsan apartment complex,
Assimilated into a magical atmosphere
You forget that the above is Central I'Park Apartment.
-
Usually when I go to a store, I think about the meaning of the store name.
no one listened
If the customer's guessed meaning matches the owner's intended meaning,
It can be said that the branding was successful.
The name of this place is Manhole Coffee.
Why is the name of the shop called Manhole Coffee?
Although it is not introduced in the store account,
The manhole I think is secret
It feels like an abrupt (or bizarre) passage.
Apartment complexes are being densely built due to redevelopment.
In the basement of Yeongdeungpo-gu Office, cut off from the ground
Perhaps this cafe itself, which has built a completely different world, is a manhole.
Hogwarts stop sign at the entrance
It already suggests that the world inside and outside this place is different.

Ongozisin
โCome and goโ
It was my favorite cafe when I lived in Seoul National University.
A place that I've only been to once, thanks to all over the place.
As the name Ongojishin, both the store and the menu promote a tea ceremony.
Dessert composition and plating are as good as other fine dining.
Ordering is on the first floor, serving and drinking is on the second floor.
If you visit during the daytime, the sun shines like a sundial.
With time, it warms up to the corners of the store.

Coffee Hanyakbang
โI am still making medicineโ Long ago, there was a shabby cafe in the site of Hyemindang, where Heo Jun made medicine. Who would have known that the place where bitter herbal medicine was brewed would become a place to brew bitter coffee in the future? When you get used to the bitter taste, you can feel the scent, and saving someone's life (?) is a common role for both of them every dayโ๏ธ Maybe the place where Joseon people's medicine was made has changed into a place where modern people make medicine. What has definitely changed from that time is that there is a delicious dessert that soothes the bitter taste?๐ฎ
Rocktte Spirit
โAre you ready, cowboy?โ Shops are slowly opening up in Mangwon-dong, where there seems to be only a quiet and cozy place. Lacte Spirit, with a western American vibe, is not just a concept, but a place filled with the owner's tasteโจ From props to music and songs to be played They were all collections of things the owner himself liked, and many people who were shocked by this are still visiting. I think I have felt this fresh feeling a lot these days๐ Gun drip coffee shop with a hip-hop atmosphere, bling bling lights Engel Coffee and many other places that catch the eye were unfamiliar and fresh the first time I went, but they seem to be assimilated to their tastes and come back again. Maybe we were waiting for a place that would break the stereotype of cafe I don't know, now the stereotypes of Mangwon-dong will be shattered here, are you ready, cowboy?
๊ถค๋ ์์ด
I don't know how to describe a place as good as "Getting on track". From the space to the menu and branding, all the productions are complete and precise. Many of you, including me, have come to see photos of baristas brewing in front of a big screen, but perhaps what we get is more than just a coffee breakโ๏ธ Since I vowed to return not just once, but many times, it was literally a track in my mind. ๐ช I've been to many places and will visit again soon.

โSpace-like space, space-like foodโ Concept that is hard to believe to be located in Yeoksam-dong office complex. From the objects to the background sound, it is a place where the space production that seems to come out of Interstellar stands out๐จโ๐ As soon as you enter the space, it feels like you are on a movie set or an exhibition? to go... ๐ฅฒ

โYeonhui-dong Fantasyโ
When you open the door, a world like Harry Potter...!
A unique and firm concept, and a spacious space
It's like creating a 'worldview' unique to this cafe๐ฏ
I wouldn't have known if I had only seen it from the outside, but the coffee and the space are strong โ๏ธ
It's like a cafe in a fairy tale with a strong outside world๐
