The atmosphere the whole time was so peaceful and nice that I thought hundreds of times about just moving this whole place to my own neighborhood and making it my daily go-to café haha. ## What's on the menu? ![Ieo Coffee Roasters coffee menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-13-1nqcw-900.webp) ![Menu listing the filter coffee lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-14-lc8ec-900.webp) Being a roastery café, the coffee lineup here is really impressive! The filter coffee selection especially is so good that I knew I had to try one haha. ![Dessert showcase with cookies and cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-15-18jok-900.webp) ![Café dessert display shelf](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-16-1ndcs-900.webp) On top of drinks, there's a decent variety of desserts too, like cookies and cakes, that go well alongside. Here's our pick! - Colombia Via Clara Watermelon (iced) - Egg financier (₩4,900) ### Colombia Via Clara Watermelon 🍉 Isn't the name itself intriguing? Apparently real watermelon is added during the anaerobic fermentation of the green beans, giving it a special process. The description said it has notes of watermelon, black tea, and lemon zest, so I was half-skeptical as I tried it iced and cold... and wow, this is seriously incredible. ![Iced Colombia Via Clara Watermelon filter coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-17-1d66g-900.webp) The moment I took a sip, a gentle, fragrant black tea aroma spread out, and right at the finish, the sweet juiciness of a perfectly ripe watermelon hit me! It wasn't artificial syrupy sweetness at all — it was genuinely pleasant fruit acidity and sweetness, so it was fascinating and delicious. Completely my type!! ### Egg financier ![Egg financier served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-18-1bfnt-1200.webp) ![Close-up of the egg financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-19-1v94r-900.webp) You can't skip a sweet dessert, so we also ordered the egg financier (₩4,900)! Chewy on the outside, soft and moist inside — pure honey-flavored bliss. ![Cross-section of the egg financier after a bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-20-t4cmu-900.webp) ![Filter coffee and egg financier set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-21-1a5l7-900.webp) ![Iced filter coffee and dessert setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-22-1ds9d-900.webp) ![Table shot of coffee paired with dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-23-cs1mk-900.webp) Its subtle sweetness and nuttiness paired amazingly with the bright, acidic filter coffee. One sip of coffee, one bite of financier — that's heaven right there haha. Both together were the best combo!! ## Final verdict It was 200% worth having this place saved on my map for so long! You get to taste high-quality specialty coffee brewed by a barista who's truly passionate about coffee, and the space itself is so pretty that I got a proper dose of healing haha. It's the perfect location to grab a delicious coffee to-go and walk right into the Gyeongui Line Forest Trail out front, so if you're looking for a Gyeongui Line Forest Trail café or a nice-vibe Gongdeok café or Daeheung café, I strongly recommend visiting Ieo Coffee Roasters~~!! >< ![Vertical shot of Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee-24-bq7i4-900.webp) ## Where it is - Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch (이어커피로스터스 공덕점) - 1F, 9 Baekbeom-ro 24-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 백범로24길 9 1층 이어커피 로스터스 - 37.5459875, 126.9452779 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%96%B4%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EC%8A%A4%20%EA%B3%B5%EB%8D%95%EC%A0%90/@37.5459875,126.9452779,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@morning-cafe-chair/eoah-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-filter-coffee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
