Hagik-dong, Incheon café with friends: plant-filled 2F at Tiny Dot

Me and my coffee-loving friends found a proper place in Hagik-dong! The whole four-story building has such a multi-sensory interior, a hideout we'd honestly like to keep to ourselves.

What kind of café is Tiny Dot in Hagik-dong?

Tiny Dot is a roastery café in Hagik-dong, Michuhol-gu, in a standalone four-story building. It's not just pretty. Since it's a roastery, the coffee is seriously good. Hunting for nice places with my friends, café tours especially, is pretty much my only joy lately. Among the Incheon cafés I visited recently, one really won my heart, so I'm leaving a review right away.

They use the entire four-story building, and from the size of it to the atmosphere, it totally hit our taste 🤭 Five stars from me :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First impressions of Tiny Dot, a four-story roastery café in Hagik-dong

I couldn't believe there was a place like this in Hagik-dong. The four-story building of Tiny Dot is just so impressive! The moment we walked in, the nutty smell of roasting beans filled the air, and wow... you could tell they're serious about coffee.

Tiny Dot menu and prices

I love how varied the Tiny Dot menu is: espresso coffee, cold brew, hand drip, non-coffee drinks, tea, juice, ade and yogurt smoothies.

The green tangerine tea (cheonggyul-cha), Sesame Dot (Chamkkae Dot) and Perilla Dot (Deulkkae Dot) all look really tasty too 😃

They also sell desserts that the owner makes entirely by hand. The owner clearly has golden hands 🙌

I also liked that you can hear an explanation of the beans and choose them yourself.

Can you see the roastery space behind the machine? They use freshly roasted beans every day, so you really taste the deep, rich flavor of the coffee.

And what caught my eye most of all was the millstone! They grind the matcha for the matcha latte right there on it 😲 No way I could skip that. One matcha latte, please.

• Deulkkae Dot (perilla coffee) ₩6,000
• Millstone matcha latte ₩6,000
• Hand drip ₩6,500

Tiny Dot floor by floor: which floor is best with friends?

The mood changes a little on every floor of Tiny Dot, so it was fun wandering around with my friends looking for the one that suited us.

4th floor: reservation-only group seating

The 4th floor of Tiny Dot is reserved seating, so you can only go in if you book ahead. The interior is open and spacious, simple and clean, focused on group seating.

3rd floor: plants and lighting, good for studying or working

The 3rd floor of Tiny Dot stands out for its plants and stylish interior. Plants plus soft lighting make it a comfy, relaxing space.

Lots of people were studying or working here. We were planning to chat a bit, so we skipped the 3rd floor 🤗

2nd floor: the plant-filled seats we chose

This is the 2nd floor of Tiny Dot, where we sat. I liked that it has even more plants than the 3rd floor 😊 The mix of plants and steel looks cool and cold, yet you still feel the warmth the plants bring. Thanks to that, we could have a calm, serious conversation with my friends.

How do the millstone matcha latte, Deulkkae Dot and hand drip taste?

The millstone matcha latte, Deulkkae Dot and hand drip we ordered at Tiny Dot that day were all amazing, every one of them.

Millstone matcha latte

I picked the millstone matcha latte, and maybe because they grind Hadong green tea leaves on the millstone, it's incredibly rich! It keeps matcha's signature bitterness, yet the latte is super smooth.

It's not artificially sweet but pleasantly mild, with a really deep, clean taste, so I... actually downed it in one go 🤣

Deulkkae Dot (perilla seed coffee) with a half shot

A friend who can't really drink coffee ordered the Deulkkae Dot with a half shot, and it's amazing.

I'd been curious about Deulkkae Dot from the name alone! Please, you have to try this. Perilla seeds sit on top of the cream and the nutty perilla aroma rises right up. It goes this well with coffee? My friends each took a bite and all went wild about how nutty it was 🤭

Hand drip coffee

This is the hand drip coffee my friend ordered. How do I put it, a coffee with solid fundamentals? Low acidity and very clean, which I liked. A roastery café really is different 👍

Can you buy coffee beans at Tiny Dot?

Yes, Tiny Dot sells beans right in the shop. The coffee was so good that leaving empty-handed felt like a waste. My friends and I each stocked up on a bag we liked. And now I can enjoy that perfect Tiny Dot coffee at home. So happy! If you love coffee, definitely check out the bean corner too.

Definitely going back: a must-visit café in Hagik-dong

If you're looking for a nice-atmosphere café with tasty coffee in Hagik-dong, go to Tiny Dot at least once. It's great for chatting with friends, and also perfect for quietly reading or working, so I'm planning to go again soon. This weekend, if you want to unwind somewhere with a stylish interior and the smell of coffee, I really strongly recommend it.
