1. Grandpa Factory (할아버지공장)

Didn't we all dream of having our own little tree house to talk about our small secrets when we were small kids? With it's spacious both indoors and outdoors sitting areas, you can sit here all day long and chat with your friends with a cup of coffee ☕

2. Daerim Warehouse (대림창고)

3. Matchacha (맛차차)

For all the non-coffee enthusiasts, green tea would be a great alternative!

What about a cup of matcha while looking at a view like this? 

Matchacha gives a complete different vibe than a busy coffee shop. Rather it's a place where you can relax your mind with no outside disturbance.
