Magongnaru Station café: acidic iced americano refill, Pict Roastery

Pict Roastery Magongnaru Branch is a specialty coffee shop in Seoul that roasts its own beans, on the 2nd floor of the Castle Park building near Magongnaru Station in Gangseo. On a hot day, the writer ordered an acidic iced americano with a Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake and was especially impressed that americanos get 1 refill when you stay in. Pict Roastery Magongnaru Branch is a Magok café worth visiting for anyone who cares about coffee, as long as you remember it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
