This visit compared two hand drips, Ethiopia Tamiru (11,000 won) and Ethiopia Single Farmer (13,000 won), with a Classic Tiramisu (8,500 won) on the side. Both coffees had clear, bright acidity and the tiramisu was among the best tasted anywhere, and the dog-friendly outdoor seats were full of guests with their dogs. ## Good to know - **Location**: 20 Yanghwa-ro 7-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 08:00–22:00 (weekends open at 08:30) - **Getting there**: About a 3-minute walk from Hapjeong Station, close to Exit 2 - **Parking**: No on-site parking; nearest is Mecenatpolis parking lot (30 minutes free) or nearby paid lots - **Ethiopia Tamiru**: 11,000 won - **Ethiopia Single Farmer**: 13,000 won - **Classic Tiramisu**: 8,500 won - **Seating**: Tables, window bar seats and outdoor seats (not many seats overall) - **Dogs**: Dog-friendly; many guests sit outdoors with their dogs - **Price reference**: ₩8,500 ≈ $6.2 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* Among the many Hapjeong cafés, I went to Central Site Hapjeong, a place where you can smell the beans and pick your own. It's close to Exit 2 of Hapjeong Station, so it was easy to find, and once inside there was a roasting space plus a nice interior atmosphere! It's even a dog-friendly café you can visit with your pup! That day I had two Ethiopian beans brewed as hand drip, and also ordered the Classic Tiramisu. The tiramisu was really delicious, but what stayed with me longest after finishing was definitely the coffee! Let me introduce Central Site Hapjeong, a Hapjeong café where the hand-drip coffee is a work of art. ## Where is Central Site Hapjeong and when is it open? - Location: 20 Yanghwa-ro 7-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul - Hours: Mon–Sun 08:00–22:00, weekends open at 08:30 - Transit: About 3 minutes on foot from Hapjeong Station ### Parking near Central Site Hapjeong There's no separate parking at the store. The nearest paid lot is the Mecenatpolis parking lot, which offers 30 minutes free! Otherwise you'll need to park in a nearby paid lot. ## The exterior and the dog-friendly outdoor seats ![Exterior view of Central Site Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-01-ireh7-966.webp) ![Outdoor seating at Central Site Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-02-6af0m-966.webp) Central Site Hapjeong is really close to Hapjeong Station, so it wasn't hard to find. There are seats prepared outside, and since it's a dog-friendly café, many people were sitting there with their dogs! ## Inside Central Site Hapjeong and its roasting space ![Indoor table seating at Central Site Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-03-gywvk-966.webp) ![Café interior with window bar seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-04-1sq72-966.webp) The interior is made up of table seats, window bar seats, and the outdoor seats. There aren't that many seats overall! ![Coffee roasting equipment inside the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-05-1ulr1-966.webp) ![Café interior layout showing the roasting space](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-06-1tmy2-966.webp) As soon as you walk in, the roasting equipment is naturally visible within the space! ![Displayed beans and brewing information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-07-1546e-966.webp) ![Bean display for smelling the aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-08-1ec97-966.webp) There's information about beans and brewing everywhere, so this is more of a Hapjeong café where you slow down and choose the coffee itself, rather than one where you just grab a dessert and leave. ![Hand-drip coffee being brewed at the bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-09-1wiy7-966.webp) When I ordered coffee, I also got to watch them hand-drip it right there, which was nice. ## Central Site Hapjeong menu and coffee prices ![Menu board at Central Site Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-10-1cqpz-966.webp) We ordered two cups of hand-drip coffee and the Classic Tiramisu! The price varies depending on the bean you choose, and the Classic Tiramisu is ₩8,500! We were debating which drip coffee to have, so we slowly smelled several beans and picked the one that matched our taste. Among hand-drip cafés, it's rare to find one this thorough, and I was so satisfied! - Ethiopia Tamiru: ₩11,000 - Ethiopia Single Farmer: ₩13,000 - Classic Tiramisu: ₩8,500 ![Two cups of Ethiopian hand-drip coffee with Classic Tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-11-1hjob-1200.webp) ![Drip coffee and dessert placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-12-xp8ji-966.webp) ![Drip coffee cup with bean description card](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-13-7a3k6-966.webp) We like coffee with acidity, so we chose two Ethiopian beans! Since I love dessert, I also ordered the Classic Tiramisu haha ![Ethiopia Tamiru drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-14-1y566-966.webp) ![Ethiopia Tamiru bean description card](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-15-1l3de-966.webp) ## How did the Ethiopia Tamiru hand drip taste? Ethiopia Tamiru! The description card introduces it as a coffee centered on the sweet fruitiness of ripe strawberries and the delicate floral notes of jasmine, with rich juiciness following through. The acidity felt bright and clear, finishing cleanly with a lingering gentle sweetness! Definitely the familiar taste and aroma you'd expect from an expensive Ethiopian coffee! The acidity is fairly strong, so if you're not into acidity, you might want to choose a different bean! The aroma is complex, and the fruity notes are really lovely. ![Ethiopia Single Farmer drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-16-hn72u-966.webp) ## What does the Ethiopia Single Farmer taste like? Ethiopia Single Farmer — the next bean's description says it carries jasmine and white floral notes followed by bright citrus, with a clear sweetness and elegant floral aroma. Tasting it, I immediately picked up the jasmine scent just as described, followed by lasting citrus notes! The sweetness isn't especially strong, but it's well balanced with the other flavors haha ![Classic Tiramisu topped with chocolate bark](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-17-1neqv-966.webp) ## Classic Tiramisu, 8,500 won: the chocolate bark is the highlight The tiramisu was one of those desserts I kept marveling at while eating! I'd honestly rank it among the best tiramisu I've ever had.... I think it might even be better than the one I had in Italy ㅠㅠㅠ The bread, soaked moist with coffee, flows smoothly together with the mascarpone cheese, and the chocolate bark on top adds a great textural highlight. The chocolate bark itself has a luxurious chocolate taste, so it became a real point of flavor and texture amid the soft tiramisu haha ![Cross-section of a spooned bite of Classic Tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips/hapjeong-centralsite-ethiopia-two-drips-18-1dlp5-966.webp) Even the coffee mixed into the tiramisu was delicious, making it even more of a certified banger! I came looking for a Hapjeong café with great hand-drip coffee and ended up equally impressed by the dessert! I really recommend ordering the tiramisu together with a hand-drip coffee. ## Is Central Site Hapjeong worth a visit? A Hapjeong café where both the hand-drip coffee and the dessert are genuinely delicious! Cafés that actually do drip coffee properly are rare, and Central Site was even more satisfying because you get to smell the beans yourself before choosing. Above all, the tiramisu was easily one of the best I've had! It seems already famous as a dog-friendly café, since so many people visited the outdoor seats with their dogs haha. I got permission from the owner and got to pet the dogs to my heart's content, which made this Hapjeong café, Central Site, all the more satisfying.
