After lunch with friends, we came for a second round and ordered Classic Wished Dark Rum, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa, an iced americano (5,000 won) and a classic tiramisu, after sniffing two drip coffees in a scent test before ordering. The tree-lined street view from the second-floor window seats, the big square ice cube and the tiramisu were the highlights at Central Site Yeonnam. ## Good to know - **Location**: Central Site, 29-1 Yeonhui-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 08:00–22:00 - **Parking**: Not available - **Layout**: Floors 1–3 (1st: ordering, bar and tables; 2nd: seating and restroom; 3rd: seating) - **What we ordered**: Classic Wished Dark Rum, Ethiopia Nordic Approach Yirgacheffe Chelbesa, iced americano, classic tiramisu - **Americano**: 5,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* After a great meal with friends at Pastiar in Yeonnam-dong, I searched for a Yeonnam-dong café for round two — coffee and chatting — and Central Site kept popping up as a coffee spot everyone raved about, so we went. Everyone in the group loved the coffee here. Want to come along to this café full of coffee aroma? ![Exterior of Central Site Yeonnam café in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-01-1atsg-564.webp) ## Where is Central Site Yeonnam, and what are the hours? > Location: 29-1 Yeonhui-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea / Hours: Daily 08:00–22:00 / Parking: Not available ![Full view of the Central Site Yeonnam building on Yeonhui-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-02-sk9ej-900.webp) ![1st floor entrance of Central Site Yeonnam with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-03-1i82t-900.webp) Central Site is spread across three floors. The floor-to-ceiling windows mean it's not a huge space, but it never felt cramped. The 1st floor has the ordering and prep area, plus a few tables on the opposite side, so people who can't use stairs can still enjoy the café. ![1st floor ordering and prep area at Central Site](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-04-ku36o-900.webp) ## Central Site Yeonnam menu and prices: what we ordered The coffee lineup at Central Site Yeonnam ranges from pricier options down to a ₩5,000 americano, and there are also a few non-coffee drinks and teas, so non-coffee drinkers won't feel left out. We ordered Classic Wished Dark Rum, Ethiopia Nordic Approach Yirgacheffe Chelbesa, and an iced americano. ![Coffee menu board at Central Site Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-05-l8bec-611.webp) ![Menu listing non-coffee drinks and teas at Central Site](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-06-1ivzb-900.webp) For dessert, they had two kinds of cookies, classic tiramisu, lotus tiramisu, brownie tiramisu, strawberry trifle, mango trifle, and blueberry lemon trifle. Around 12:30pm when we visited, a lot of the desserts were already sold out. We'd just eaten, but skipping dessert would've felt like a waste, so we ordered one classic tiramisu. ![Dessert case with tiramisu and trifles](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-07-17h98-900.webp) They also sell coffee beans and coffee concentrate on one side of the store, in case coffee lovers want to take some home. ![Coffee beans and coffee concentrate displayed in the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-08-b6mjf-900.webp) ![Bean display shelf at Central Site Yeonnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-09-56pte-900.webp) ![Shelf with coffee goods and beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-10-hlz3a-900.webp) ## How the drip coffee scent test works At Central Site Yeonnam, they let you smell two drip coffees (excluding the iced americano) before ordering, so we did the scent test too. The two aromas were different, which made the smelling fun, and breathing in that fragrant coffee smell put us in a great mood. ![Scent test with two cups of drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-11-taukn-900.webp) ## Second- and third-floor seats: greenhouse feel upstairs After the scent test, they told us they'd bring the drinks and desserts up to wherever we sat, so we headed up to the 2nd floor first. ![Tightly arranged tables on the 2nd floor of Central Site](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-12-dadg7-900.webp) ![Tree-lined street view from the 2nd-floor window](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-13-186ob-900.webp) ![Window seat on the 2nd floor of Central Site](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-14-l5qs1-900.webp) The tightly arranged tables were cute, and the tree-lined street view through the window was lovely. There's also a unisex restroom on the 2nd floor, for reference. My friends said they'd claim a good spot on the 2nd floor first, so I went up to the 3rd floor alone. ![Steel staircase leading up to the 3rd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-15-1726k-900.webp) You also have to climb a steel staircase to reach the 3rd floor. Since stairs are inconvenient, it seemed like staff bring drinks and desserts up and collect them themselves. It was convenient for us, but watching the staff go up and down made me feel a bit bad for them — I wished there were at least a small food elevator. ![Greenhouse-like atmosphere on the 3rd floor of Central Site](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-16-7j9og-900.webp) The 3rd floor felt like a greenhouse or botanical garden. It was nice and quiet, but it seemed a bit warmer than the 2nd floor, probably from getting more sun. My friends refused to come up, so I just looked around and headed back down. Cold water, paper cups, and napkins are set out on both the 2nd and 3rd floors, so feel free to use them. ![Water, paper cups, and napkins set out on each floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-17-m1l6t-966.webp) ## Square ice iced americano and window-seat photos Back on the 2nd floor, while we were chatting, a staff member brought over the drinks and dessert. Mine was the cup with the cute, huge square ice cube — the pale coffee color was perfect for me since I can't handle strong coffee!!! ![Iced drip coffee with a square ice cube alongside tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-18-1x2z3-1200.webp) ![Three cups of drip coffee by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-19-50nht-900.webp) ![Coffee cup against a backdrop of street trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-20-1quym-900.webp) Before drinking, we did a photo session first at the window seat with the tree-lined view we'd been eyeing. The green street trees meeting the soft lighting made for such a charming, moody atmosphere. Funnily enough, the photo taken in natural light without any lamps came out looking mysteriously like it had a filter on it — isn't that interesting? Must've been the backlighting, haha. ![Iced coffee cup photographed in natural light](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-21-1r2pz-900.webp) I've seen huge round ice cubes before, but this was my first time seeing a huge square one. Even though it's coffee, it somehow feels like sipping whiskey, and it makes you want to strike a mood. Cheers to your eyes, haha. ![Close-up of coffee with a large square ice cube](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-22-h8n01-900.webp) ## How is the classic tiramisu at Central Site Yeonnam? The coffee at Central Site Yeonnam was great, but the classic tiramisu was seriously delicious. All of us agreed this place is a tiramisu spot too. I used to think tiramisu just wasn't that good, having only ever had the VIPS version, but turns out tiramisu can actually be amazing. The thin sponge layer was soaked with coffee for a gentle coffee flavor, and the thick mascarpone cheese was soft with a pleasant sweetness — I really enjoyed it. ![Cross-section of Central Site's classic tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-23-lhmmt-900.webp) Drip coffee comes with a little info memo card, and one friend said she wanted to take hers home. Her sister and I teased her that she was only supposed to look at it, not take it — she got so flustered it was adorable. I ended up giving her mine too!!! ![Bean info memo card served with the drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee-24-xn7t1-900.webp) ## Who is this Yeonnam-dong coffee shop best for? All three coffees had slightly different aromas, which made things fun. The coffee I ordered was delicious, of course, but my friend's iced americano was plenty good too — you don't need to splurge on the pricier coffee to have a good time with just a cup of americano. If you're looking for a quiet moment over coffee, or a stylish spot for a get-together or a date, I'd recommend Central Site Yeonnam!!! ## Where it is - Central Site Yeonnam (센트럴사이트 연남점) - 29-1 Yeonhui-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 연희로 29-1 센트럴사이트 - 37.561549, 126.9268517 - 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%EC%97%B0%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.561549,126.9268517,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@taste-and-texture-3/centralsite-yeonnam-rooftop-cube-ice-coffee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
