April Coffee
The Korean Landing of the Danish Copenhagen Brand, Hannam-dong Roastery Showroom 'April Coffee'. The first overseas store of Sweden-born barista Patrik Rolf Karlsson was in South Korea. April welcomes guests with a homey atmosphere, based on white tones, and focused on wooden interiors. The combination of Fyn furniture, coffee beans, related equipment, and a G-shaped coffee bar with a hemp cloth and a step creates an exotic yet Korean look. With a concise menu featuring espresso variations and filter coffee, the prices are somewhat high. However, the quality of the coffee justifies the cost, offering comfort and solace with every sip in a tidy and stable mood.
더반 베를린 성수점
The specialty coffee brand from Berlin, The Barn, has landed in Seongsu, Seoul, known as the epitome of hip. Housed in a renovated residential space tucked away in an alley, it welcomes customers with a clean white base mixed with moderately exposed concrete for texture, and beige-toned wooden furniture for a cozy atmosphere. Conveniently, there is a dumbwaiter for transporting food, so there is no need to carry your menu upstairs or bring it down for returns. Committed to uncompromising quality, The Barn, along with Bonanza and District, is considered one of the top three coffee brands in Germany, dealing only with single-origin raw beans whose producers and places of origin are clearly known. The coffee brewed from each bean, such as Ethiopia and Brazil, is notable for its vivid original taste, allowing you to experience sourness like peach, cherry jam, and a smooth aftertaste.
