A small sea in a busy city
coffee and cigarette

Coffee & Cigarette is a cafe near City Hall Station. It is a building connected to City Hall Station, so it is very accessible by public transportation. In particular, I was able to go without getting lost thanks to the kind guidance of the teacher who guided me in front of the elevator going up to Coffee and Cigarette. I've learned that it's not about what you do that's important, but how you deal with your work is the most important thing. If you go up to the 17th floor, you can find Coffee & Cigarette in the space where the office will be.

The interior is quite spacious, and the combination of white and blue emphasizes a clean and urban feel. Needless to say, the charm of this place is probably the window seat boasting a city view on the 17th floor, but I also had a hard time sitting… 😂 Before visiting this place, I expected a cafe with a Euljiro sensibility, but when I visited, I felt the chic and sophisticated feel of the city rather than the vintage. One of the strengths is that they have a variety of coffee and dessert menus. Rather than a good atmosphere to read a book, it is a cafe with a good sensibility to work with a laptop.


📍 Beans

-2 blends are in use.
-Classic blending / acidic blending
-The beans are already Coffee Roasters


📍 Coffee

I met Americano with a classic blend, and it looks very rich and rich just by looking at it. Actually, I wanted to eat something with acidity, but today they said it was not possible.. 😅 If it feels heavy and dark, I think the explanation for this bean would be sufficient. It was a classic coffee that would strike the taste of those who do not like acidity.


🎶 Music

The music of Coffee & Cigarette is also colored with an urban feel. You know the genre of city pop, there was a time when retro was popular and the genre called city pop was booming. It is a music full of retro synthesizer sound, but City Pop is a music that harmonizes well with the blue color.
So far, it's really good, but I personally wondered if it was simply a retro style of music playing by Jaebum Lim on one late night in 1994 by Hyejin Jang. Even city pop is good, but the music that would appear in the King of Mask Singer shakes the mood of the space a bit.
