Located in a quieter neighborhood of Seoul, Biroso Coffee (비로소 커피) offers more than just a caffeine fix; it provides a serene escape from the city’s fast pace.
The Korean word ‘Biroso’ implies a moment of finally realizing something or reaching a point of completion.
True to its name, this cafe is designed to help you slow down, breathe, and truly savor the moment with an excellent cup of coffee.
The interior of Biroso Coffee is striking in its minimalist beauty. It doesn’t rely on flashy decorations; instead, it lets the architecture and light do the talking.
Large, expansive windows frame the outside world like changing paintings, allowing natural light to flood the space.
The interplay of light and shadow throughout the day creates a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. It is the perfect backdrop for deep thought, creative work, or quiet conversations.
The furniture neatly arranged against the white wall goes well with each other.

Tucked away in a charming corner near the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, Hoppinch (호핀치) is a cafe that lives up to its playful name. ‘Hoppinch’ combines the light movement of a ‘Hop’ with the elegance of a ‘Finch.’
This small, inviting space serves as a peaceful nest for locals and travelers alike, offering a warm atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home.
If you’re looking for a spot that captures the “small happiness” of Seoul’s cafe culture, this is it.
Hoppinch is widely loved for its exceptional dessert lineup, particularly their golden-brown financiers and creamy puddings.
Each dessert is crafted with care, offering a perfect balance of sweetness that pairs wonderfully with their coffee.
Their signature nutty lattes are a must-try, featuring a rich, velvety texture that lingers on the palate.
For photography enthusiasts, the visual presentation of their drinks and sweets is just as impressive as the taste, making every order “Instagram-worthy.”
