Cute green potted plants lined the front alongside a calm, understated sign, making me stop for a moment as I passed by.

Tables were spaced comfortably apart, not cramped, and posters and cute little props scattered around brought the space to life. Since the café also welcomes pets, there was a relaxed, gentle energy throughout. ## A menu and beans chosen to your taste ![Menu board listing coffee and non-coffee drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-14-1nar6-966.webp) ![Counter with bean-selection information](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-15-16pi6-966.webp) ![Close-up of the café menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-16-802tm-966.webp) ![Dessert case with Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-17-1v1ao-966.webp) ![Display of baked-good desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-18-1pho9-966.webp) The menu board, neatly organized from coffee to non-coffee drinks, caught my eye right away. True to its identity as a Daeheung Station roastery café, one of its biggest perks is that you can choose your own beans to match your taste. Inside the display case, a beautifully baked Basque cheesecake and an array of baked-good desserts sat lined up, catching my attention. ## Two cups of coffee to enjoy while cooling off ![Tray with an Americano and a latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-19-1i8a1-966.webp) The Americano came in a clear glass, and the latte stood out with its smooth milk layer. The thin, fine crema on top showed off just how fresh the beans were. Everything arrived neatly on a tray, and the care put into presentation really impressed me. ### Clean, pure bean flavor: the Americano The Americano had absolutely no bitterness or heaviness, going down smooth and refreshing. Behind a moderate body, a subtle aroma rose up, filling my mouth with a pleasant cleanness. It was the perfect, refreshing cup of coffee to have after lunch. ### Nutty and smooth: the almond latte ![Almond latte served in a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-20-1lrmb-966.webp) ![Almond latte showing a visible gradient](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-21-1y7ip-966.webp) The almond latte blended slightly bitter espresso with milk into a soft gradient. The first sip had no milky off-flavor, just a nutty, rich flavor that wrapped around my mouth. It wasn't overly sweet, and the deep coffee flavor still came through, making it lovely to sip slowly. ## Moist, dense Basque cheesecake ![A slice of Basque cheesecake with cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-22-1kd3u-966.webp) ![Cross-section of Basque cheesecake lifted by fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-23-acmzz-966.webp) The Basque cheesecake came with a nicely charred top and a soft cream on the side. When I lifted a bite with my fork, the dense cross-section revealed a creamy texture that melted away instantly — I couldn't help but let out a little sigh of admiration. The rich cheese flavor paired with the soft cream made for a fantastic match with the coffee. ## A tray licked clean ![Tray with emptied cups and plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin-24-1jh0x-966.webp) While taking our time before diving in, before we knew it, the plate and cups were completely emptied. The balance between the coffee's flavor and the sweetness of the dessert was so good that my husband and I finished everything without leaving a bite. The finish stayed clean all the way to the last sip, never once feeling too much — that really left an impression. Enjoying quality coffee and dessert together in such a quiet, atmospheric space made for a wonderful afternoon with my husband after a long while. If you're looking for a Daeheung Station café where you can truly taste well-roasted beans, I think it's worth stopping by with an easy mind. It feels like the kind of place I'll naturally end up returning to whenever I take a walk around Daeheung-dong. ## Who I'd recommend this to - ⭐ Those who want to enjoy coffee brewed from beans chosen to their taste - ⭐ Those looking for soft, rich handmade desserts - ⭐ Those who want quiet conversation in a well-lit space ## Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch info - Name: Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch - Address: 9 Baekbeom-ro 24-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Mon–Fri 08:00–20:00, Sat–Sun 11:00–19:00 - Parking: Not available ## Where it is - Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch (이어커피로스터스 공덕점) - 9 Baekbeom-ro 24-gil, 1st floor, 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/@seoul-doorstep-meals/eeo-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-single-origin/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
