Escape the Seoul hustle and find your zen at Blue Bottle Yeonnam (블루보틀 연남 카페)! Tucked away at 성미산로32길 52 B1F – 1F, this isn't just coffee, it's an experience. The minimalist aesthetic, bathed in natural light, creates a seriously chill vibe. I tried their New Orleans iced coffee – a sweet, creamy dream that perfectly balanced the subtle bitterness of the coffee. Forget your instant fix, this is slow-roasted perfection. The baristas are knowledgeable and passionate, happy to chat about the origins of their beans. It's a bit pricier than your average coffee shop, but the quality and ambiance make it totally worth the splurge. Seriously, add this to your Seoul itinerary. You won't regret it. Just a heads up, it can get busy, especially on weekends! Prepare for a short wait, but trust me, that first sip will erase all memories of standing in line.
