On a sisters' day out in Seoul, the order was an iced Americano and an iced flat white made with Noir beans, plus a pistachio croissant and an egg tart. Each floor of Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun has its own seats and mood, so a quick walk around before ordering pays off. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 2F, 3F, 17 Mugyo-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 08:00–21:00 (last order 20:30) - **Parking**: Small lot beside the café; nearby public parking recommended - **The space**: 1F goods and order counter, 2F seats for one or two, 3F Fritz Hansen furniture with green views - **Bean choices**: Noir / Blanc / Decaf - **What was ordered**: Iced Americano, iced flat white, pistachio croissant, egg tart - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, takeout and delivery, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms - **Getting there**: Near City Hall, Jonggak, Gwanghwamun and Euljiro 1-ga stations *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* > A Gwanghwamun café where you can sit on real Fritz Hansen furniture and enjoy dessert ![Coffee and dessert on a table at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-01-rnzlk-1200.webp) On the day my sister and I promised each other a little Seoul outing, we agreed to caffeinate first and headed straight for a café ☕️ haha. This time we went to Lemangdoré near Gwanghwamun. It's a space done in collaboration with Fritz Hansen, so you can actually look at — and sit on — beautiful furniture while enjoying coffee and bakery items. A perfect little rest stop during our Seoul trip. Let me walk you through the space, the coffee, and the desserts at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun. ## Where is Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun, and its hours and parking Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun is a café at 17 Mugyo-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, open daily from 08:00 to 21:00 (last order 20:30). It's a standalone white-toned building with a red heart shape as its signature accent. It's close to City Hall, Jonggak, Gwanghwamun and Euljiro 1-ga stations, so it's easy to reach by public transit. If you're driving, there is parking beside the store, but space is limited, so nearby public parking lots are worth keeping in mind. Group visits, takeout, and delivery are all available, along with Wi-Fi and separate men's/women's restrooms. ## Three floors, three different seating moods at Lemangdoré Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun operates as a café across the entire building, from the 1st to the 3rd floor. Since the seating and atmosphere differ slightly floor by floor, it's better to take a walk around after ordering coffee rather than settling into the first seat you see. ### 🛍️ 1st floor — goods display and the order counter ![1st floor ordering area at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-02-epeer-966.webp) ![Goods display corner on the 1st floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-03-9k518-966.webp) ![Interior around the register on the 1st floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-04-qekcu-966.webp) ![1st floor seating and interior view at Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-05-1tu5l-966.webp) ![Bakery display case on the 1st floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-06-j97fu-966.webp) ![Goods and props display on the 1st floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-07-1fg47-966.webp) The 1st floor has a variety of goods on display and is where you order your drinks and desserts. There are also seats where you can sit and drink your coffee, and the interior around the register in particular was so pretty it caught my eye as soon as I walked in. ### 💺 2nd floor — seats for one or two, plus Fritz Hansen chairs The 2nd floor has mostly seating for one or two people, so it looked like a good spot for working alone on a laptop or quietly enjoying coffee. ![Seats for 1–2 people on the 2nd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-08-lpekh-966.webp) ![Fritz Hansen table and chairs on the 2nd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-09-1o508-m-966.webp) ![Window seat atmosphere on the 2nd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-10-j8isf-966.webp) And here's the point to look out for at Lemangdoré! The tables and chairs are Fritz Hansen pieces, so you can actually sit on them and try them out. If you've always liked Fritz Hansen furniture, it's fun to experience the real thing while sipping your coffee. ### 🌿 3rd floor — green views and sofa seats The 3rd floor is where the Fritz Hansen furniture shines the most. With lush green views and a variety of tables, chairs, and sofas arranged around, it was fun just looking around the space. ![Seats with a green view on the 3rd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-11-gegl6-966.webp) ![Fritz Hansen sofa and table on the 3rd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-12-1dl3a-966.webp) It had such a nice mood that I wanted to take the whole table-and-sofa set home with me haha. ![Sofa set seating on the 3rd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-13-b3rq6-966.webp) ![Furnished space on the 3rd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-14-1iipg-966.webp) ![Chairs and table near the window on the 3rd floor of Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-15-sb7aw-966.webp) It's the same café, but each floor has such a different atmosphere that you can pick your seat depending on your mood or taste that day. ## Choosing your beans: Noir, Blanc or Decaf We ordered on the 1st floor. Naturally, I also took my time browsing the desserts, and with so many tempting options on display, it wasn't easy to choose just one haha. ![Dessert display and bean guide at Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-16-shvmq-966.webp) You can choose your coffee beans from three options: Noir, Blanc, or Decaf. - NOIR — dark chocolate, roasted almond, ripe cherry, forêt-noire - BLANC — green apple, sweet berries, clean finish - DECAF — roasted sweet potato, soft sweetness, gentle acidity ## Iced flat white and iced Americano with Noir beans > Iced Americano / iced flat white / pistachio croissant / egg tart ![Iced Americano and iced flat white with dessert spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-17-1v7r7-966.webp) ![Two iced drinks at Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-18-gw16f-966.webp) We ordered an iced Americano and an iced flat white using the Noir beans. The bean flavor was deep and rich, so we enjoyed both drinks. ![A cup of Noir bean iced flat white](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-19-njzwl-966.webp) The iced flat white in particular had a nutty, intense flavor that paired really well with the sweet desserts. If you're visiting with a group, it might be fun to each choose a different bean and share a taste. ## How do the pistachio croissant and egg tart taste? ![Pistachio croissant at Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-20-1rls8-966.webp) ![Pistachio croissant with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-21-1s88f-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the pistachio croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-22-45b9k-966.webp) The pistachio croissant had a crisply baked pastry exterior with the nutty, sweet flavor of pistachio layered on top. You could really taste the buttery pastry flavor too, which paired well with strong coffee. If you like pistachio, this is a great pick to enjoy alongside your coffee. ![Egg tart at Lemangdoré](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-23-1hnii-966.webp) The egg tart had a crisp pastry texture along with a rich egg filling. The bread itself had good flavor too, and going back and forth between coffee and dessert, I really got to enjoy a leisurely café time haha. It was a great little rest stop during our Seoul outing, pairing a cup of coffee with dessert. ![Overview of the table with coffee and dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white-24-1ti9w-966.webp) ## Who will enjoy Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun most? Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun felt less like a café that's just about coffee and dessert, and more like a place where you can actually look at and sit on Fritz Hansen furniture while exploring the space — that was the fun part. And since each floor from 1F to 3F has a different mood and seating layout, there's real enjoyment in just walking around inside. If you're looking for a spot near Gwanghwamun, City Hall, or Jonggak where you can enjoy coffee and dessert along with a stylish space, Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun is worth a stop. Next time I'm out in Seoul, I plan to try some of the bakery items I couldn't get to this time haha. ## Where it is - Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun (레망도레 광화문점) - 1F, 2F, 3F, 17 Mugyo-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 무교로 17 1층, 2층, 3층 - 37.5674271, 126.9790862 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A0%88%EB%A7%9D%EB%8F%84%EB%A0%88%20%EA%B4%91%ED%99%94%EB%AC%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5674271,126.9790862,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pocheon-orchard-path/le-mont-dore-gwanghwamun-flat-white/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
