After dinner, I had an Americano and Ethiopian coffee with an Earl Grey lemon dessert, and the fragrant hot coffee with the bright dessert was such a lovely match. Verdict: Center Coffee Gwanghwamun is a great little stop for a coffee break near Gwanghwamun or Cheonggyecheon Stream. ![Featured image from a visit to Center Coffee Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-01-a5xp1-900.webp) ![Visit to Center Coffee Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-02-ik3ip-900.webp) After a delicious dinner in Gwanghwamun, I was looking for somewhere with great coffee and ended up at Center Coffee! It is on the B1 level of Seoul Finance Center, so it is an easy café to reach from Gwanghwamun Station or the Jongno area ✨ The coffee is seriously good, so I stop by often when I am nearby—highly recommend it~ ![Center Coffee in the basement of Seoul Finance Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-03-11lh6-900.webp) ## A café for a quick break in Gwanghwamun The place looked so pretty even from outside! The atmosphere was lovely too, and there was a Blue Ribbon mark right at the entrance,, ✨ It seems like a nice space for Gwanghwamun office workers to pop in for a cup of coffee during lunch or after work. ![Center Coffee entrance with a Blue Ribbon mark](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-04-195x5-900.webp) ![Café atmosphere at Center Coffee Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-05-13h1r-900.webp) There were well-arranged coffee-related displays all around the café, so they were fun to look at too! With coffee beans and brewing tools on display, it really felt like a place that takes coffee seriously 🫧 ![Display of coffee beans and coffee tools](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-06-v9pkq-900.webp) Oh, and I think the desserts here look really good too. They have panini and yogurt bowls as well, and I want to try them next time! ![Center Coffee desserts and menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-07-eje8v-900.webp) ## Ordering an Americano, Ethiopian coffee, and dessert • Menu • ![Center Coffee drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-08-1x9fe-900.webp) ![Center Coffee menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-09-1rscm-900.webp) We ordered an Americano and Ethiopian coffee! The aroma was so good as soon as we received them ✨ We had planned to order coffee only, but the desserts in the café looked far too delicious, so we ordered one too…!!

The subtle Earl Grey aroma and refreshing lemon flavor worked beautifully together, making it great with coffee. The lemony brightness meant it was cleaner and lighter than I expected! ![Earl Grey lemon dessert and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-12-1axps-900.webp) ![Refreshing lemon dessert and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-13-1cxkg-900.webp) The coffee was so delicious..! We had eaten sushi beforehand and were craving hot coffee, so the two of us had hot drinks and it was so nice. It is also great when you are looking for a quiet café with a lovely atmosphere in Gwanghwamun~ Plus, it is in a nice spot to take a little break while walking along Cheonggyecheon Stream~~! ![Table with hot coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-14-1qi6b-900.webp) ![A café break near Cheonggyecheon Stream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee/gwanghwamun-earlgrey-lemon-coffee-15-1i16b-900.webp) Especially ✨ if you work nearby, I think it would be great to visit for a cup of coffee at lunchtime~~!
