Seogyo-dong café with bar seats for laptop work: Naemyeonui Balgyeon
Naemyeonui Balgyeon is a large café on Worldcupbuk-ro 5-gil in Seogyo-dong, Mapo, Seoul. Staff on the first floor recommended the beans, so the visit started with Panama Koto & Duncan and Costa Rica Santa Teresa, and later in the day the second-floor bar seats became a quiet spot for laptop work over a Clarity and a Cherry Ahn. Naemyeonui Balgyeon works equally well for a quiet chat and for solo focus near Hongdae.
