Yeonpil
Gwangjin-gu, Seoul • Cafe
Pencil is a new cafe located near Gunja Station. It has been a while since I visited the area around Gunja Station after Bonanza Coffee. Today, on the fourth day of its soft opening, I visited Pencil, a space imbued with the weight and calmness of wood tones. The L-shaped bar table offers a sense of flexibility and friendliness. Sitting at the bar table and looking out the window offers a beautiful view. The spacious bar table seems useful for working or reading.
Inside, there are about 5-6 seats at the bar table and 2-3 more tables in the back. The owner's response was very kind. It's not easy to find a cafe with various filter coffees and a wood-toned space near Gunja Station. I think there will be many locals who welcome Pencil. Like checking off a menu with a pencil, I hope we all live more confidently, being able to easily erase mistakes in our lives.
📍 Beans
-Basic beans use the blend from Gongdeok Huelgo.
-For filter coffee, you can choose from three types of beans, including Namusairo and Riike Coffee.
📍Coffee / Dessert
I ordered a filter coffee with Costa Rican beans, and I encountered a coffee with a dominant pink hue. It reminded me of apricots. It was delicious. The fig toast provided for coming from afar was also very delicious.
🎶 Music
Pencil's music includes POP and classical. In the afternoon, POP is selected, and in the evening, classical. It seems inevitable that jazz comes to mind with the heaviness and simplicity conveyed by the wood tones dominating the space. It might be a good idea to select jazz for the afternoon hours.
