Waltz and Dr. Mahn (왈츠와 닥터만) is a riverview café and specialty coffee house on Bukhangang-ro in Joan-myeon, Namyangju, Gyeonggi, with the feel of a classic fine-dining restaurant.

The coffee at Waltz and Dr. Mahn is startlingly expensive, but the aromas described on the menu cards came through clearly, so it felt worth the price.
