Pulse Line Coffee is a coffee-focused café in Sharosu-gil. It's open year-round, so keep that in mind! ![Introductory photo of Pulse Line Coffee in Sharosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-01-133io-900.webp) ## Where Pulse Line Coffee is and how to walk there Pulse Line Coffee is about a 10-minute walk from Seoul National University Station. If you're looking for a café in Sharosu-gil, I'd recommend it! ### The storefront on Sharosu-gil ![First-floor exterior of Pulse Line Coffee with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-02-45a6w-900.webp) It's on the first floor so it's easy to find, and the floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel refreshingly open! ## Weekday-morning seats and power outlets Maybe because I visited on a weekday morning, it was quiet and great for working calmly. There were seats with outlets, and plenty of 1-2 person tables, so it also felt good for coming alone. ![Interior seating with 1-2 person tables and a bar table by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-03-rozd8-900.webp) There's also a bar table by the window, which looked like a lovely spot to sip coffee at leisure whether the weather's nice or it's raining outside. ## The menu and the filter coffee guide ![Pulse Line Coffee's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-04-131jd-900.webp) Pulse Line Coffee really does seem to be a coffee specialist — they have a wide range of espresso drinks and cold brew ready. ![Espresso and cold brew menu signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-05-jne2j-900.webp) ![Sign with filter coffee bean notes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-06-16bc5-900.webp) They also sell filter coffee, with detailed notes posted alongside for bean beginners — so if you love coffee, I'd recommend trying the filter coffee too. I came already knowing the long black here was good, so I ordered that instead haha... but next time I'll try the filter coffee! ![Filter coffee menu section](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-07-1gwba-900.webp) ### How the membership rewards work One unique thing was the membership program — the accrual rate changes depending on how much you spend, so if you're a coffee lover living nearby, it's worth keeping an eye on. ![Membership sign showing tiered rewards by price](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-08-1lcf5-900.webp) ![Baked goods display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-09-67xxy-900.webp) ![Muffins, pound cakes, and pie desserts arranged together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-10-1ez61-900.webp) ### Baked goods: muffins, pound cakes and pies For dessert, there were baked goods — three kinds in total: muffins, pound cakes, and pies. - Muffins: yellow cheese / mulberry / caramel - Pound cakes: two-berry / black sesame - Pies: brûlée / crumble ## Inside Pulse Line Coffee ![Corner of the café set up for mirror shots](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-11-rygr7-900.webp) ![Shelf with espresso cups and mugs](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-12-wg0mj-900.webp) There's even a cute mirror-shot corner, and the espresso cups and mugs below were so adorable!! ![Open kitchen with red accent interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-13-14gvp-900.webp) Since it's an open kitchen, you can watch the owner preparing everything — it looked clean, and the red accent design felt trendy too...! ![Tea being prepared](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-14-1swtb-900.webp) When you order tea, they brew it fresh for you one cup at a time, which makes it even more fragrant. ![Table set with Pulse Line Coffee's coffee and dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-15-9hdlp-1200.webp) ## The three orders: Pulse Latte, long black, brûlée pie ![Order of long black, Pulse Latte, and brûlée pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-16-1p3x9-900.webp) I ordered three things: a long black, the Pulse Latte, and the brûlée pie! ![A cup of the signature Pulse Latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-17-13ade-900.webp) ### The signature Pulse Latte ✨The Pulse Latte is one of Pulse Line Coffee's signature drinks — and wherever I go, I always end up ordering the signature item haha. It's said to be an herb milk that the owner blends in-house, combined with the sweetness of red beet — moderately sweet with a hint of herbal aroma. If you like a fragrant latte, this is a total must-try. ![Pulse Latte made with herb milk and red beet](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-18-1e7ae-900.webp) ### Iced long black ✨I ordered the long black iced. Since I was already getting dessert, I figured I should get something clean and refreshing to balance it out haha. The beans weren't heavily roasted, so I could really taste the coffee's aroma, and it went down smoothly. ![A glass of iced long black](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-19-13869-900.webp) ### Brûlée pie ✨The brûlée pie comes topped with lemon zest. The crackly top and the soft filling went really well together! ![Brûlée pie topped with lemon zest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-20-1ore2-900.webp) Thanks to the lemon zest sprinkled on top, the aroma that lingered in my mouth was so nice too. They really seem to nail these little details... ## Is Pulse Line Coffee worth a visit? ![Coffee and pie on the table at Pulse Line Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte-21-b7v3r-900.webp) If you've been looking for a calm café in Sharosu-gil to have a good conversation, I'd recommend this one! It's not too loud, so it works well for both working and chatting over good coffee. The neighborhood is quiet too, which makes it even better! ## Where it is - Pulse Line Coffee (펄스라인커피) - 13 Gwanak-ro14na-gil, 1st floor, Unit 101, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 관악구 관악로14나길 13 1층 101호 - 37.4774447, 126.95745 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%84%EC%8A%A4%EB%9D%BC%EC%9D%B8%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC/@37.4774447,126.95745,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ladle-side-streets/pulse-line-coffee-weekday-morning-latte/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
