On a weekend afternoon before a soccer match, the writer put their name on the waiting list and ordered an iced americano (Bouquet Blend), a mint lemonade and Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake. The gently acidic coffee and the deeply cheesy Basque cheesecake are what stayed with them. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Wed–Fri 11:00–19:00, Sat–Sun 11:00–21:00 - **Regular closing days**: Monday and Tuesday - **Ordered**: Iced americano (Bouquet Blend), mint lemonade, Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake - **Seating**: Mostly two-person tables and window bar seats; an extra chair can be added for three - **Location**: Semi-basement, near Mangwon Market - **Restroom**: Inside the café *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Main photo of PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-01-1lc6w-1200.webp) Before heading out to watch a soccer match, I searched for good cafés in Mangwon-dong to have a coffee and rest a bit, and a place known for bright acidity coffee caught my eye — PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch. Since it's a new café, I went straight there!! > PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch > WED-FRI 11:00 ~ 19:00 > SAT-SUN 11:00 ~ 21:00 > Closed Mon, Tue ## Where is PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch and how do you get there? PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch is close to Mangwon Market, so it's a great stop to pair with a market food-and-café course. It was a perfect spot to rest a bit while wandering the market. ## Inside the semi-basement space with floor-to-ceiling windows ![Exterior of the semi-basement roastery café in Mangwon-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-02-y18gs-900.webp) ![Entrance of PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-03-1kr8k-900.webp) PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch is a café in a semi-basement, but the floor-to-ceiling windows meant it never felt stuffy. ![Photo zone at PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-04-1eit9-900.webp) *You have to take a photo at the photo zone* ### How long is the wait on a weekend afternoon? During weekend afternoon peak hours there's usually a wait, so I'd recommend putting your name down and browsing nearby while you wait. Basically every well-known café in Mangwon-dong had a wait at that time... ㅠㅠ ![Window seat with a view of the alley through the floor-to-ceiling window](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-05-1l127-900.webp) *People-watching is a bonus too ,,* ![Café interior with wood tables and white-toned decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-06-1be8u-900.webp) ### Seating at PICT Roastery is mostly for two Wood tables and chairs with white tones added made the space look spacious and clean. Seating was mostly 2-seat tables and window bar seats, and if you're a party of three, you can add an extra chair. There were a lot of couples, and most people came in twos. I quickly snapped a photo when a table opened up ,,🎆 ![Interior seating photographed when the table was empty](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-07-1vpqr-900.webp) The restroom is also inside and kept clean. ## PICT Roastery's house-roasted beans and menu board ![Menu board at PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-08-878a0-900.webp) *PICT Roastery's menu board* ![Introduction to the single origin and blend beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-09-1d1h6-900.webp) PICT Roastery says it uses single origins and blends that they roast themselves every week! Since they roast with both espresso and brewing in mind, there's naturally a range from nutty to bright acidity. If you're a coffee enthusiast looking for a good coffee shop in Mangwon, this is worth a visit. The lineup changes monthly and quarterly, so you'd get a different coffee experience on a return visit. You can taste the beans proven at the Magongnaru branch here in Mangwon-dong too. ![Café interior in Mangwon-dong lit by the floor-to-ceiling window](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-10-1n3vp-900.webp) *The floor-to-ceiling window is a big part of the charm of this Mangwon-dong café* > Ordered > Iced americano (Bouquet Blend) > Mint lemonade > Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake ## How the Bouquet Blend iced americano tastes ![A glass of Bouquet Blend iced americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-11-pfhig-900.webp) I chose the acidic bean, and the iced americano wasn't overwhelmingly acidic, but left a clean brightness in the aftertaste. If you're looking for bright acidity coffee in Mangwon-dong, this is easy to enjoy and a decent entry point into acidic coffee. ![Iced americano and drinks on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-12-i3b61-745.webp) ![Mint lemonade with strong carbonation](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-13-chsrx-900.webp) ### Why the mint lemonade is worth ordering The mint lemonade is a menu I'd personally recommend 🍋 I drank it when I was a bit tired from walking, and the tangy, refreshing flavor with strong carbonation lifted my mood the moment I drank it. ![Cup detail with a different illustration for each menu item](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-14-46kor-900.webp) *These little details are so cute* And the fox(?) motif changes depending on the menu item — I found it while checking out the cups, so cute haha ✴️ ## Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake, and the sold-out French toast ![A slice of Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-15-svzqn-900.webp) *You can totally eat a whole cheesecake with coffee, right* I'd heard this place was famous for French toast in Mangwon-dong and wanted to try it, but ••• it was sold out, so unfortunately I didn't get to taste it. Instead, the Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake I ordered was good enough to rank among the best Basque cheesecakes I've had recently! The creaminess was just right and the cheese flavor was rich enough that I found myself wanting a whole cake ,,,, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The pistachio cake looked good too, so I'd like to try it with a different bean on my next visit. The dessert lineup isn't huge, but every item they do have felt solid. ![Window table with drinks and dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake-16-1p5eq-900.webp) *A satisfying visit to this new Mangwon-dong café* ## Final verdict on PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch - Good news for fans of bright acidity coffee, since acidic beans are available - There's usually a wait during weekend afternoon peak hours - Good for those near Mangwon Station or Mangridan-gil who want to focus quietly on coffee - Good for a Mangwon-dong date course if you're looking for an atmospheric roastery café ## Where it is - PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch (픽트로스터리 망원점) - 45 World Cup-ro 23-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵로23길 45 1층 - 37.5558894, 126.9072652 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%BD%ED%8A%B8%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EB%A6%AC%20%EB%A7%9D%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.5558894,126.9072652,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-coffee-map/pict-roastery-mangwon-basque-cheesecake/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
