Sejong roastery café: fall mango bingsu & hot coffee, Café The Corner

CAFE THE CORNER

Why I went to Café The Corner in Sejong on a falling-leaves autumn day

Café The Corner (카페더코너) is a café on Bodeum 3-ro in Sejong that roasts its own beans. With the wind blowing and leaves dropping one by one, it's the season when a hot cup of coffee just comes to mind by itself. Today I visited Café The Corner, a Sejong café where I fell for the roasting aroma and then fell once more for the bingsu.

Since they roast in-house, the nutty smell of coffee beans greeted me the moment I opened the door. Autumn mood plus coffee aroma made me think, "Ah, this is romance."

Why the coffee is good at Café The Corner, which roasts its own beans

The biggest draw of Café The Corner is the in-house roasting. Cafés that roast their own beans take a different kind of pride in aroma and flavor, don't they? The first sip had a deep aroma, and I loved the subtle lingering aftertaste.

If you love coffee, you probably check whether a Sejong café roasts its own beans first. Café The Corner fits that standard perfectly, so I recommend it to anyone serious about coffee.

How was the mango bingsu at Café The Corner in autumn?

Today's pick is the Café The Corner mango bingsu.

You might ask, "Bingsu in autumn?" but I love that Café The Corner has delicious bingsu even in fall. My choice today was the mango bingsu!

Piled high in a silver bowl, the snow-flake ice is topped with plenty of yellow mango, with sweet-tart mango sauce running down. On top sit a scoop of vanilla ice cream, crunchy cornflakes and sliced almonds, so it was a feast for the eyes from the first look.

One spoonful and the soft, fluffy ice spreads the sweetness of mango, while the crunch of cornflakes adds fun. As the ice cream melts it adds a milky richness, which is another charm. Alternating with hot coffee gives you a sweet, cold and warm combination. The inside of Café The Corner is warm, so it was easy to enjoy even in autumn.

Autumn leaves and roasting aroma, a spoonful of romance

The biggest reason I recommend Café The Corner this season is the atmosphere. Looking at the autumn scenery outside the window while smelling the roasting aroma relaxes even your mind. When you want a short break from a busy day, just sipping coffee in silence turns out to be a good time.

The 'THE CORNER' signboard and the classy leather sofa seats are also highlights of Café The Corner. Photos come out nicely in this pretty café, so it's great for snapping proof-of-visit shots too.
