Gyeongui Line Forest Road is close to Sinchon and Hongdae, so it is a good place to take a walk in Seoul. Today, it is good to drink morning coffee after a walk on Gyeongui Line Forest Road.
Let me introduce you to two cafes that open early in the morning.
- Cappy
Located in a charming neighborhood near the forest park, Cappy(캐피) welcomes visitors.
This cafe is a perfect example of a “neighborhood sanctuary.” It doesn’t try too hard to be trendy; instead, it focuses on providing a warm, consistent, and comfortable space for those who appreciate the quiet side of Seoul.
The moment you see the soft light glowing through its windows, you’ll know you’ve found a place to rest.
Opening hours : 8am - 5pm, Closed on Monday
Price range: 5,300won - 9,000won
Address: 15-1, Baekbeom-ro 16an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea
Cappy is selling coffee beans from Prologue (Danish specialty coffee) and coffee beans from Cappy
The latte was very delicious with a soft taste.
If you’re looking for a reliable cup of coffee in a space that feels like a warm hug, Cappy is a must-visit destination.
Make the flooring and wall similar in color.
It gives you a sense of unity and stability in the space.
The space is small, but the structure of the building is
It’s fun to watch because it’s unique.
There are stairs next to the cafe space, but it seems to be inside the building, not outside
It doesn’t feel stuffy even if the floor space is narrow by raising the ceiling height.
I think it’s nice that the space is looks cool.
I think it would be good to enjoy coffee outside in the warm season.
2.Ikou
Opening hours: 8am - 7pm (Monday to Thursday, Friday off)
8am - 8pm (weekend)
Price range : 4,500 -8,000won
Address : 17, Baekbeom-ro 15-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea
The interior of Ikou is characterized by light wood, clean white walls, and an abundance of natural light.
It feels airy and open, yet incredibly private.
The large windows frame the quiet street outside, making the cafe feel like a peaceful observatory.
The lack of clutter allows your mind to rest, making it one of the best spots in the Mapo area for deep focus.
The attention to detail at Ikou extends to their serving style.
Every drink and small bite is presented with artistic care, often on beautiful wooden trays or ceramic ware that complements the interior.
Their tea selections and clean-tasting filter coffees are highly recommended.
It’s a place where the visual experience of the food is just as rewarding as the taste, providing a full sensory experience for the mindful traveler.
The shadows of objects that come in the sun feel like objects.
I think this place is run by someone who is skilled in art.
It’s a cafe that feels like that
Sensuous pottery everywhere.
You can see exhibition postcards, etc
The colors of the candlesticks are really unique.
The bowls next to them are also very colorful and have elaborate patterns.
It is fun to see various props.
I think you only used indirect lighting
Thanks to the light coming through the window.
Today, out of filter coffee, this month’s coffee beans
“Colombia Caturra Natural.”
I have placed an order for
The cup notes were red wine, cinnamon, and cherry cock.
It was a coffee that had acidity and had a berry-like vibe.
That vase is also geometric
The pattern and the three-dimensional effect stand out
I think it’s from a certain artist.
The kitchen is colorful and three-dimensional,
You can see various cups collected from all over the place.
Ikou is a space where the owner’s sense stands out
It’s a good cafe where you can enjoy the morning sun while drinking delicious filter coffee.
If you go to Gyeongui Line Forest Road,
If you want to enjoy coffee early in the morning,
If you want to enjoy the warm coffee that someone gives you.
I recommend you to go to ‘Cappy’ and ‘Ikou’
