Coheart Coffee Okgil: A Serendipitous Cafe Discovery!
I recently stumbled upon a cafe that completely won me over! Let me introduce you to 'Coheart Coffee Okgil'.
This was my first impression of Coheart Coffee. I saw it while walking along the street and wondered: is it a house? A studio? Or a cafe? It was only when I saw people inside through the window that I realized it was a cafe and eagerly followed the grassy path right in.
As soon as I stepped inside Coheart Coffee, I was struck by how beautiful the interior was, so let's start with an introduction to the inside!
This is the view of the first floor from the second floor. It's clean yet cozy, and the windows on all sides give it an airy and open feel. It reminded me of a greenhouse, like the one at Changgyeonggung Palace, so it felt like entering a warm and inviting space.
The first floor bakery corner had bread and pastries, as well as coffee beans and coffee accessories for sale.
If you go inside on the first floor and look to the side, you'll see tables located slightly below the main floor. Because the tables aren't immediately visible on the same level as the ordering counter, the cafe feels more spacious and relaxed.
The second floor had tables as well as an outdoor terrace. The terrace would be the perfect spot to enjoy coffee on a bright day.
On this day, I ordered an Americano (4,900 won). They offered both a nutty and a bright, acidic version, so I ordered one of each.
I don't usually drink coffee with a lot of acidity, but Coheart Coffee's version was surprisingly delicious!
I also ordered bread, which wasn't originally planned: Salt Bread for 3,300 won.
I wasn't expecting much, but it was so good! The powder sprinkled on top, resembling Injeolmi powder, seemed to be salt. (And the bread was big, too!)
As the evening deepened, around 10 PM or 10:30 PM, the lighting became even cozier.
Coheart Coffee's operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 AM. If it were closer to my house, I would go there every Friday and stay up until dawn!
Even the exterior is so pretty!
The railway track vibe is a bonus.
There's plenty of parking space right in front of the cafe, so even though it's not in the main location of Okgil-dong, it's easy to visit if you have a car!
