If Hannam-dong is Seoul’s hub for “sophisticated trendiness,” SObb is its calm, quiet center. Tucked away in the stylish backstreets of Hannam, SObb is a space designed for those who appreciate the beauty of simplicity and high-quality craft.

Through an arched window.
It feels like the outside view is coming inside. It’s very open.

The coffee taste is strong and savory.

Coffee cups are very unique and beautiful. The cup is thin, so it is good to drink coffee.

They are well-known for their signature cream-based coffees. The cream is often dense, velvety, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, allowing the richness of the espresso to shine through.
The desserts at SObb are as much a visual treat as they are a culinary one. Whether you’re ordering a simple Americano or a complex seasonal drink, you can taste the quality of the beans. The flavor tend to be balanced and smooth, catering to a wide range of coffee lovers.

Whether it’s because of the material or the unique design
I can feel the modernity

It’s made of wood with a warm texture
Adding iron material that feels modern
It’s luxurious and modern
I think he wanted to give it to me

The space is defined by soft off-whites, warm wood accents, and sleek stainless steel. It’s a bright, airy environment that feels both spacious and intimate.
Everything from the furniture to the lighting follows clean, geometric lines. The large windows allow natural light to pour in, making it a favorite spot for those who love “clean” photography and a bright atmosphere.
It feels more like a high-end boutique or an art gallery than a typical coffee shop. It’s the kind of place where even the empty space feels curated.

The angles and proportions go so well with the space

It’s a brick-like tile on the wall
It reminds me of old European buildings

The luxurious atmosphere of the cafe
It looks like it’s coming out.

The herringbone pattern on the floor, furniture, and the view outside the window go well together.

The only disadvantage here is a 15-minute walk from Itaewon Station.
It’s a winding uphill path.
It’s not easy to walk. Nevertheless, if you want to enjoy delicious coffee in a nice space, try stopping by~~
