Instagram-worthy specialty cafés in Seoul
Seoul specialty cafés where the design and the coffee are both worth your attention.
Seoul applies architectural seriousness to its café spaces in a way that few other cities match. Fritz Coffee Company occupies a building that has been considered one of the more photographed café interiors in the city since it opened, with layered materials, plants throughout, and proportions that read well in any light. Center Coffee in Seongsu sits in the creative district that has produced more new openings than anywhere else in the city over the past five years. The interior is restrained and considered, and the espresso bar is designed to be visible from every seat. In both cases, the visual quality is not a substitute for the coffee. It accompanies it.
