On a weekday afternoon a friend and I ordered a latte (6,300 won), a white cream latte (7,000 won) and a plain financier (3,200 won), with oat milk available as a swap. The 3rd floor has the prettiest view in the building, and both the coffee and the bakery at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun are easy to recommend. ## Good to know - **Address**: 33-1 Mugyo-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul (17 Mugyo-ro, floors 1–3) - **Hours**: 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM - **Parking**: No on-site parking; use the City Hall public parking lot right out front - **Getting there**: 3 minutes from City Hall Station Exit 4; Euljiro 1-ga Station also close by - **Signature menu**: Madeleine gift box set 30,000 won / Dubai croissant 15,000 won / Strawberry matcha latte 8,500 won - **Recommended menu**: Pistachio cream croissant 8,800 won / Ice cream float 8,500 won / Coffee of the day 4,800 won - **What we ordered**: Plain financier 3,200 won / White cream latte 7,000 won / Latte 6,300 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* ![Interior of Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun decorated with Fritz Hansen furniture](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-01-h04cx-1200.webp) ![Atmosphere of the 3-story Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun building](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-02-be31q-900.webp) ![Exterior view of Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun near City Hall Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-03-1mq8p-900.webp) Between City Hall and Gwanghwamun stations sits Lemangdoré, a café decorated with furniture from the world-famous brand Fritz Hansen. Three spacious floors, a beautiful view, serious hand-drip brewing, and a house-made bakery that also supplies Gucci — what more could you want! ## Where is Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun, and what are the hours and parking? Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun sits between Gwanghwamun and City Hall stations, just 3 minutes from City Hall Station Exit 4. Euljiro 1-ga Station is close by too. It opens early, at 8am every day. The address is 33-1 Mugyo-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, and it's open 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM. There's no parking on site, but the City Hall public parking lot is right in front, so that's the way to go. ## Inside Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun: Fritz Hansen furniture from floor 1 to 3 We visited on a weekday afternoon. Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun is a 3-story building. This is the 1st floor interior — very spacious and pretty. The restroom is inside. Lemangdoré is also known for its hand-drip brewing, and every little detail here was gorgeous. These are the 1st floor seats — good for solo café visits or getting some work done alone. ![1st floor seating at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-04-1gome-900.webp) ![1st floor table good for a solo café visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-05-ofato-900.webp) They also sell coffee beans and branded goods, and there's even a station for tasting coffee. You could really feel this is a place that takes coffee seriously. ![Display of coffee beans and merchandise for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-06-10fth-900.webp) ![Counter set up with coffee for tasting](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-07-3zzi1-900.webp) ### 2nd floor or 3rd floor: which seats have the prettiest view? Let's head up to the 2nd floor. It has a more relaxed vibe, good for sitting and chatting. Now up to the 3rd floor! Every floor had a pretty nice view, but the 3rd floor was the prettiest by far!!!! The 3rd floor of Lemangdoré, furnished with Fritz Hansen pieces, had especially beautiful interior design and a great atmosphere. It would make a perfect spot for a date around Jongno too. Ahhh, so pretty right? Definitely a café I want to come back to!! ![Window seat on the 3rd floor with the prettiest view](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-08-9z62l-900.webp) These little details are so lovely — Lemangdoré is a coffee spot that started in Seorae Village! ![Decorative interior details at Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-09-24mbp-900.webp) ![Sign noting the partnership with Fritz Hansen](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-10-1tpvt-900.webp) It even says right there that they've partnered with Fritz Hansen, haha. ## Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun menu and prices ![Drink menu board at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-11-lvg9i-900.webp) ![Menu board listing signature and recommended items](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-12-1bkdf-900.webp) Signature menu - Madeleine gift box set ₩30,000 - Dubai croissant ₩15,000 - Strawberry matcha latte ₩8,500 Recommended menu - Pistachio cream croissant ₩8,800 - Ice cream float ₩8,500 - Coffee of the day ₩4,800 ![Signature madeleine gift box set](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-13-164ok-900.webp) ![Display of the famous Dubai croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-14-1wwxg-900.webp) The signature item is the madeleine set — the madeleines are famous here. The Dubai croissant is also well known! ![Sign for the ice cream float and coffee of the day](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-15-1v5qp-900.webp) The ice cream float — an affogato-style drink made with matcha strawberry latte and Sanghamokjang ice cream — is another signature item, along with the fresh coffee of the day. The nice thing about the coffee of the day, which changes flavor daily, is you get to taste a fresh Americano. They even have samples of it ready to try — so thoughtful! Let me show you the actual bakery items. ![Bread displayed in the Lemangdoré bakery case](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-16-uxsqf-900.webp) ![Assorted bakery items on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-17-d8xik-900.webp) ![Croissant-style bakery items up close](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-18-1abmt-900.webp) ![Sandwich menu items on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-19-1138h-900.webp) ![Gift-wrapped dessert in a bojagi cloth](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-20-1i5j4-900.webp) These are the bakery items — all sorts of bread on offer, plus sandwiches! There's also gift wrapping with a traditional bojagi cloth, and I really love this kind of detail, haha. Near Jongno, this kind of pretty bojagi wrapping seems to be well prepared everywhere, haha. ## What we ordered: latte, white cream latte with oat milk, plain financier ![Latte and financier set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-21-140cj-900.webp) What we ordered - Plain financier ₩3,200 - White cream latte ₩7,000 - Latte ₩6,300 ![Lemangdoré latte with beautiful latte art](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-22-18c24-900.webp) First up, the latte. This was the first time I've ever seen latte art done this beautifully, haha. So pretty, right? This was my friend's order — she said the nutty beans and soft milk foam were absolutely delicious. It was nice that you could even choose your beans, haha. ![Plain financier full of buttery flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-23-1x5df-900.webp) Since the bakery is famous, we couldn't not try it, right? This financier was packed with buttery flavor! It was so good I basically inhaled it in one bite, haha. Next time I definitely want to try the signature madeleine too. Given that they started in Seorae Village and keep expanding, you could really tell from the financier alone that this is a legit bakery. This is the white cream latte I ordered — soft latte topped with a generous layer of thick, chewy cream. This café lets you add oat milk! All the lactose-intolerant people, gather round! ![White cream latte topped with thick, chewy cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art/lemandore-gwanghwamun-oatmilk-latte-art-24-3r5k4-900.webp) You can always tell a mediocre café by the taste of its latte, but here the deep, rich espresso shot blended beautifully with the milk — I really enjoyed drinking it, haha. That strong coffee flavor was outstanding. I can confidently recommend both the coffee and bakery at Lemangdoré!! Being able to add oat milk was also such a plus. Chatting with a friend surrounded by a pretty view and pretty furniture made for such a happy time! I'd recommend it as a date spot too. ## Is Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun worth a visit?
