Han River View Coffee Restaurant
Taif Han River


Taif Hangang Branch is a cafe near Sangsu Station. This is the place to start tentatively opening this Saturday, and Typef, which showed a variety of charms, announces a new start on the 5th floor of the 8th View of Sogang building. Most of you know the view just by talking about the 8 Views of the Seogang building. I was most satisfied with the atmosphere of the space, the furniture, and the objects I visited recently, and the view on a cloudy day was also quite nice. Don't go on a cloudy day like me, and enjoy the beautiful view on a clear day.
⠀
The interior consists of a table for 6 people and a table for 2-4 people. Looking at the riverside north road through a wide window in front of a simple coffee bar, you can feel that you are living in the city center of Seoul. The response of the staff was very good, and the coffee explanation was satisfactory. Valet is also available, so it would be okay to bring a car, and I think it would be a pretty good choice if you are looking for a restaurant with a special view in Seoul.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
-You can choose from 4 types of beans.
_Blend 1, Single Origin 3
⠀
⠀
📍Coffee
⠀
I ordered Ethiopian Bombe Wash and ordered filter coffee, and I liked the acidity of the orange drink and the sweetness of the fruit.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
The music of the Type Hangang branch is colored with jazz hip-hop. It seems to be the best genre of music to listen to in such a modern atmosphere, but I think it would be nice to slow down the tempo a bit in the evening to enjoy jazz.

Huam-dong View Restaurant Hot Place
Comfort Seoul


Comfort Seoul is a new cafe and complex cultural space in Huam-dong. The weather in Seoul is nice because the weather fairy is back. After returning from the US, I went to Comfort Seoul for the first cafe. It is a complex cultural space consisting of a shop, an exhibition, and a cafe, and the cafe space is located on the 4th and 5th floors. I embraced the view of Huam-dong with the feeling of a simple space. The atmosphere of the space is rough and full of hip feeling. The view from the roof top is enough to give great satisfaction to those of us who have been waiting for sunny weather.
⠀
Inside, there is a cafe space on the 4th and 5th floors, and the rooftop terrace on the 5th floor is dangerous and needs the care of small children. The staff were friendly, and the coffee guide was good. If you are looking for a cafe with a good view, you should think about it first, and I think it is the hottest space among attractive cafes in Huam-dong.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
- Beans are being used as blends.
⠀
⠀
☕️ Coffee
⠀
-I ordered an Americano, and I was able to find coffee with orange acidity and sweet chocolate. I enjoyed the coffee.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
Comfort Seoul's music is colored in the SOUL genre. From the vintage feel to the latest trendy music, the rough atmosphere of the space and the music stick well.

Euljiro Emotion Seochon New Espresso Bar
Espresso bar style


Espresso Bar Style is a new cafe in Seochon. I went there because I heard there is a new cafe with a view of Mt. Inwang, and this place is operated as a space on the first floor full of oriental beauty and Euljiro feel, an outdoor terrace, and a rooftop. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is an indoor space with the most unique feeling in Seochon, and the strong individuality means that the representative here expresses what he wants. It was nice to feel the good space and atmosphere.
⠀
The interior is operated as a first floor and a rooftop. The space on the first floor is attractive, but the terrace at the back seems to be good to enjoy a cup of coffee with a cool breeze. The rooftop has a view of Mt. Inwang, making it even more attractive. The response of the staff was friendly, and I also enjoyed the affogato that I ate for morning coffee on holidays. If you are looking for a cafe with a nice view in Seochon, I think the espresso bar style would be a good option.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
-You can choose from 3 types of beans (blend / single origin 2ea)
⠀
⠀
📍 Coffee
⠀
I ordered a sake lato, and it was a welcome menu with a good sweet taste.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
Espresso bar style music is colored with alternative music. I think a little more vintage style music would be good, and now the music is showing a pretty good harmony with the space.


📍 1st floor, 2, Philwoon-daero 5-ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

Lotte Tower View Restaurant Rooftop Cafe
F Lounge


F Lounge is a cafe in Jamsil. It's been a long time since I've been near Seokchon Station. You can meet F-Lounge not far from the station. It's on the 9th floor of the building, so you have to go up by elevator, but as it's in a high place, the view was really good. It is famous for its rooftop space, and it seems that a single photo of the rooftop with a good view of Lotte Tower is enough to describe F Lounge. When the weather gets a little cooler, there is no other place as popular as the rooftop here. It can be said that just going to a cafe with someone can make a great gift.
⠀
It is operated as an indoor space on the 9th floor and a rooftop. The interior space is dominated by a casual feel. I think it can cater to the tastes of the younger age group. The response of the staff was very friendly, and the satisfaction with the variety drinks was good. There are a few places that come to mind when you think of cafes with great views in Seoul, but it seems that there are few places where you can enjoy the view of Lotte Tower so nicely.
⠀
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
- The beans are using a blend.
⠀
⠀
☕️ Coffee
⠀
I ordered an Americano, and I drank it deliciously because of the savory taste and good balance.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
F-Lounge's music is colored with trendy POP. This kind of atmosphere is a space that goes well with trendy POP. There are a lot of people who play trendy POPs because they don't know what to play in each cafe.



📍 9th floor, 7-15, Baekjegobun-ro 41-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul
📍 12:00~22:00 / Closed on Mondays

Seoul new view restaurant cafe
Seoullo ph


Seoullo ph is a new cafe located in Malli-dong near Seoul Station. I went because I heard that there is a new cafe with a view of Seoul Station and Namsan Tower. Since the provisional opening started yesterday, to be honest, it is very cluttered and I do not know if it is okay to start a provisional opening. I think the part about space management such as the kids zone and companion animals is still there. One view is good. If I could see a view like this in Seoul, I think I would come even if I had to compromise on price and kindness.
⠀
The interior consists of 11th, 12th and rooftop. The 11th and 12th floors can be used indoors, and the rooftop has outdoor terrace seating. The staff's response was mediocre, and since the cafe doesn't have an Instagram account yet, you can search for it on Naver. The view of Seoul can be seen through the open glass window, so the daytime is good, but the night view is also good.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
- The beans are using a blend.
⠀
⠀
📍 Coffee
⠀
I ordered an Americano, and I was able to meet a coffee that felt dark and savory. It was just plain.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
Seoullo ph's music is colored with POP. You seem to play a lot of different kinds of music, but I think that the concept of music is so diverse that it can actually harm the atmosphere of the space. I think it would be good if the music was also combined into one cohesion.


📍#11, 11th floor, 211, Mallijae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul
📍11:00~23:00 / It is temporarily open.
📍Kids zone, companion animals, etc. undecided
📍No parking

Namsan Tower View Restaurant Cafe
Villa Coffee Bar


Villa Coffee Bar is a cafe located in Haebangchon. If you are looking for a cafe with a nice view of Seoul on a clear day, Haebangchon is the place you must visit, and you can find the Villa Coffee Bar here. Located on the 2nd floor, this place has a distinct charm both indoors and on the rooftop. You can enjoy the view of Seoul from the inside as well, and the rooftop has a view of Namsan Tower. It was very pretty to see the sunlight coming through the combination of vintage and wood, and the view of Seoul from a space with a slightly down tone is quite beautiful. I think it would be good to read a book or a laptop at the window seat.
⠀
The interior is operated both indoors and on the rooftop. The stairs to the rooftop are steep, so if you are going up with small children, care seems to be required. There are quite a lot of rooftop seats, and the representative's response was also nice. Wouldn't this season be the best season to enjoy the rooftop? If you're looking for a cafe with a nice view in Seoul, Villa Coffee Bar seems like a good option.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
- The beans are using Champ Coffee Blend.
⠀
⠀
📍 Coffee
⠀
I ordered an Americano, a coffee with a heavy body and nutty flavor.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
Villa Coffee Bar's music is colored Lo-fi. I personally feel like I'm staying longer in the space when the expected music is filling the space. We are choosing the music genre that best suits the Villa Coffee Bar, and even when there are many customers, Lo-fi music is a genre that does not negatively affect the space. It is a genre of music that has a trendy feel and a vintage feel.


📍 2nd floor, 101-9 Sinheung-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
📍Weekdays 11:00~20:30 / Fri/Sat 11:00~22:00 / Closed on Mondays

Seoul Han River View New Cafe
wave han river

Wave Hangang is a new cafe with a view of the Han River. There was a new cafe near the Han River Nanji Park that boasts a view of the World Cup Bridge. As spring approaches, Nanji Park, which is crowded with people, seems to have created a restaurant with an impressive view in the afternoon on a clear day and the sunset in the evening. The interior space itself is simple, and if you sit at the window seat, the light is good enough to be hot. It was a place that seemed to become a hot spot after a little bit of the fickle weather these days.
⠀
The interior is operated on the 1st and 2nd floors. The first floor has a coffee bar and one or two tables, and the second floor has many tables and outdoor terrace seats. The staff were also friendly, and although it is a kids zone, it seems that care is needed when using the 2nd floor. It's a job to travel too far to find a restaurant with a view, and it was the Han River, a wave that could give you the feeling that you've traveled far from a nearby place.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
- Blend is being used.
⠀
⠀
📍 Menu
⠀
I ordered an Americano, and I was able to meet a coffee with an impressive balance and flavor.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
The music of the wave Han River is colored with indie music. The CEO seems to like black skirts a lot. I personally like the artist, but I think it would be good to choose a slightly different choice for music enjoying the view on a sunny spring afternoon like this. In the afternoon, choose jazz with a light atmosphere, and in the evening when today is setting, we recommend jazz music with a calm atmosphere. I think that more than 30% of the music selection is completed just by dividing the afternoon and evening tempo.

📍 296 Maponaru-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
📍 12:00-20:00
📍 Kids Zone
📍 Pets allowed
📍Public parking lot 1 under the Nanji World Cup Bridge ramp is the closest. (3 minutes on foot)

To you, who is crying somewhere in a high-rise building
empty life

Empty Life is a new cafe and pub near Anguk Station. It was a place that reminded me of the wish of a close friend who wanted to wake up in the morning with a view of Changdeokgung Palace. This place on the 7th floor of the building is divided into a cafe tongue and an empty pub life on both sides. Although it offers a view of Changdeokgung Palace through a large window, there are quite a few other attractions. The back view embraces a city view of Seoul, but for some, this city full of skyscrapers can be lonely. It was a warm space that could give a cozy rest to that loneliness.
⠀
Inside, there are quite a few tables in the space divided on both sides, and I think the small lights in the window seat can help you read or work. The staff were also very friendly, and personally, the view of Changdeokgung Palace was the most memorable space rather than the mood of the empty living space and the impact on the specific menu. There is no doubt that it is a unique cafe that you can enjoy in downtown Seoul.
⠀
⠀
📍 Beans
⠀
- Beans are being used as blends.
- We are using coffee beans with a slightly acidic taste.
⠀
⠀
📍 Coffee
⠀
I ordered an Americano, and the light acidity accompanies it for quite a while, and the balance is good.
⠀
⠀
🎶 Music
⠀
The empty music of life is mainly colored by the jazz genre. It was a space where calm songs rather than light songs, simple songs rather than flashy songs, and charcoal-colored music came to mind.
