I got the Kihei latte, my husband got their Jeju matcha latte, and we shared a red velvet cookie and it was all amazing. I am a celebrated coffee drinker and this is easily in my top 5 cafes. 10/10

Had a vanilla bean latte to die for and a really yummy pistacchio cookie - the coffee is among the best I have ever had! The cookie was great too. Will go there again!!

Some of the best coffee in the world, especially if you enjoy light roasted beans and hand drip. They had 4 Sey Coffee bean options for hand drip that you can smell the scent before purchasing, and very comfortable seating area for sitting with groups of 1-4 people. I will be back in the future!! The couple working were so friendly and skilled!

I ordered mulled wine and americano. Cookie was great, drinks also good. I saw many people bought cookies and drinks for take out. Also I can see few delivery men picking up order. This place is small but maybe quite famous for their cookies. Their toilet is clean, I like their hand soap smell.

We loved the name of this shop because we are visiting from Hawaii. But not only the name, this is the best coffee and cookies in Seoul !! We tried the drip coffee from SEY coffee which comes from Brooklyn, NY. We had apple cinnamon cookie and sukk/injelmi cookie. This is very unique cookie and can only find this cookie in Seoul here at this cafe. Cookie texture was on the softer side and was a good pairing with the drip coffee. Cozy atmosphere with matching music. Mahalo
