Instead of tables packed tightly in a row, they're spaced apart, which made conversation easy, and it also felt like a place you could come to alone for coffee without any pressure.
There were also seats by the floor-to-ceiling windows, which made the space feel less closed-in!

There were photos of their signature drinks on the wall, along with coffee cups and small displayed items, which were nice to look at!

How was the Americano, lemonade, and brûlée pie combo?
I ordered an Americano, lemonade, and brûlée pie at Pulse Line Coffee. The coffee was clean and easy to drink, and since the brûlée pie was on the sweeter side, the combination worked well together.
If you're not a coffee person or you're looking for something refreshing, they also have ade drinks, so keep that in mind!
What's the structure of the brûlée pie like?
Pulse Line Coffee's brûlée pie has that characteristic torched top, a soft and moist cream layer inside, and a crisp tart crust underneath. It looked like they were torching each one fresh, right on the spot.
Personally, I prefer tarts and pies like this over heavier cakes, so it was very satisfying. If you're visiting Pulse Coffee near Seoul National University Station, I'd recommend ordering the brûlée pie alongside your drink.
