Interviewed by HeySeorakCafe · Budget · Cheongchoho Lake
Open daily
Near Cheongcho Lake, Cheongchodam makes room for a slower conversation. The couple behind this roastery and dessert cafe chose a lofty, plant-filled room over a second floor of tables, bringing together his life in music and her background in fine art. Start with the black sesame cream latte, layered with espresso and milk, and pair it with salt bread. In autumn, chestnut and sweet potato lattes join the familiar favorites; winter brings the strawberry tiramisu regulars ask about all year. The welcome starts at the counter, right by the door.
Pro tip
Open daily 09:30–21:30; last order 21:00. There are four parking spaces in front; Expo No. 4 public parking is about 50 m away. Pets must be in a carrier or pet stroller; the cafe lists paid rentals. English menu labels, Wi-Fi and highchairs are available. Decaf and oat milk changes are each +₩500. The black sesame latte contains espresso, milk and sesame; ask staff about ingredients and allergies.
