On a clear day the writer took a patio seat and ordered two hand drips — Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed and Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa Washed — with a classic tiramisu, while dogs passed by the terrace. The Guatemala tasted steady and comfortable and the Ethiopia bright and clean, so switching between the two cups was half the fun. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Two hand drips (Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa Washed) and classic tiramisu - **Seating**: Outdoor seats available; indoors is mostly small tables, best for one or two people - **Pets**: Pets welcome - **Good to know**: Roasting room visible through the glass, with tasting cards for each coffee *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Central Site Hapjeong is the kind of place that pops into my head whenever the weather is nice. ![Exterior and outdoor seating of Central Site Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-01-1sm19-900.webp) ## Why the patio at Central Site Hapjeong is worth a clear day Central Site Hapjeong has great coffee, but honestly it's the outdoor seating vibe that keeps pulling me back. On cool, sunny days, sitting outside instead of inside makes the whole experience so much better. Even though it's right in the middle of Hapjeong, sitting out there gives you this relaxed feeling — so whenever the weather's nice, this place naturally comes to mind. ![View of the outdoor terrace seating at the Hapjeong café](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-02-2qypw-900.webp) Central Site Hapjeong isn't really a café you visit just for pretty interiors — it feels more like a roastery café made for people who genuinely love beans and coffee itself. Each bean comes with its own info card, so you can read about the origin region and characteristics while you drink, which is a nice touch. ![Roastery café space with bean info cards displayed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-03-1if57-900.webp) ![Bean display at Central Site Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-04-i3f4l-900.webp) ## Pets welcome: the dogs on the Central Site Hapjeong terrace And Central Site Hapjeong being pet-friendly is another big plus — you often get to see dogs hanging around! ![A dog sitting at the outdoor seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-05-gmgfe-900.webp) ![A dog on the terrace of the pet-friendly café](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-06-1jco0-900.webp) Sipping coffee while watching cute pups — small happiness 🐶🐕🐾. They sat so calmly on the terrace that I couldn't stop looking, haha. Fragrant coffee plus cute dogs equals lucky 🍀 ![Hand-drip coffee cup on the outdoor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-07-118gx-900.webp) ## What is the indoor seating and mood like? Step inside and the atmosphere shifts entirely. The most eye-catching part is the roasting space visible through the glass window — you can literally see beans being roasted, which gives it that unmistakable roastery-café feel. ![Roasting space visible through the glass window](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-08-1cb59-900.webp) Wood-toned tables and stools together with a concrete floor create an overall calm, slightly vintage mood. Seating isn't as plentiful as a big chain café — it's mostly small tables, so it's a good spot for 1-2 people to enjoy a quiet coffee. ![Café interior with wood-toned tables and stools](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-09-1iyca-1200.webp) ## What I ordered: two hand drips and classic tiramisu On this visit I ordered two hand-drip coffees and a classic tiramisu. ![Table setting with two hand drips and classic tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-10-1pmj2-900.webp) ### Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed: how it tastes The first coffee was the Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed. Grown in the Antigua region of Guatemala using Bourbon and Caturra varieties, this washed coffee is blended from several small-scale producers. Overall it's less about standout flavor and more about a stable, comfortable balance. The acidity wasn't too strong, so it was easy to drink without any pressure — the kind of style that even people who don't usually drink hand drip could enjoy fairly comfortably. ![Cup of Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed hand drip](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-11-11796-900.webp) ### Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa Washed: how it tastes The second was the Ethiopia Nordic Approach Yirgacheffe Chelbesa Washed. This is a washed coffee from the Chelbesa area of Ethiopia's Gedeo region, made from Wolisho and Dega varieties grown at 1,800-2,200m altitude. Compared to the Guatemala, this one was brighter from the aroma onward. It had white floral notes and a fresh, citrus-like quality, with an overall clean, transparent taste. It had that signature bright Ethiopian aroma without feeling overly fermented, so it was clean and pleasant to drink. ![Cup of Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa Washed hand drip](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-12-x3xpq-900.webp) Alternating between the two made the differences even clearer. Guatemala felt a bit more stable and comfortable, while Ethiopia felt fresh and bright. If you like hand drip, it's fun to pick contrasting styles like this and compare them side by side. ![Two hand-drip coffees placed side by side for comparison](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-13-1mgso-900.webp) ### How the classic tiramisu pairs with the coffee We also ordered the classic tiramisu. ![Classic tiramisu topped with cocoa powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-14-wjlgi-900.webp) ![Close-up of tiramisu topped with chocolate](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-15-wx5a5-900.webp) On top, a generous dusting of cocoa powder and chocolate; inside, layers of soft cream and coffee-soaked sponge. The cream is quite soft and rich but not overly sweet, making it a good dessert to pair with hand-drip coffee. ![Cross-section of tiramisu showing layered cream and sponge](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-16-kovjl-900.webp) ![A spoonful of tiramisu with a cup of coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-17-73r2o-900.webp) Pairing the bright Ethiopian drip with the tiramisu felt especially good — it seemed to cut through the heaviness of the cream a bit. With the Guatemala instead, the overall taste became softer and more comfortable. ![Table enjoying coffee and tiramisu together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-18-k879r-900.webp) ## Why I keep going back to Central Site Hapjeong I've already visited a bunch of times, but this feels like a place I'll keep thinking of whenever the weather's nice. ![Sunlit view of the outdoor seating at the Hapjeong café](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe-19-1rfrv-900.webp) Sitting outside with a hand-drip coffee, and if I'm lucky, meeting some cute dogs too — I'll be back here whenever I want a relaxed coffee day in Hapjeong. ## Where it is - Central Site Hapjeong (센트럴사이트 합정점) - 20 Yangwha-ro 7-gil, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로7길 20 1층 센트럴사이트 합정점 - 37.551766, 126.9148683 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%BC%ED%8A%B8%EB%9F%B4%EC%82%AC%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8%20%ED%95%A9%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@37.551766,126.9148683,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-cupboard-cafes/hapjeong-outdoor-seat-washed-coffee-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
