Yeonnam-dong café at dusk: 2F tree view & big-ice drip, Central Site

In short

Central Site Yeonnam is a three-floor roastery café on Yeonhui-ro in Mapo, Seoul, that roasts its own beans, a walk from Hongik Univ. Station. On an early-evening visit with a friend, staff recommended iced Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed, which has bright acidity, and nutty Ethiopia Guji Haro Wachu. Both came over big square ice and were paired with Central Site's well-known tiramisu at a 2F window seat looking out on trees. Central Site Yeonnam delivered on coffee, dessert and atmosphere alike.

Central Site Yeonnam location and opening hours

Central Site Yeonnam is at 29-1 Yeonhui-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and it's open 8:00–22:00 on weekdays and 8:30–22:00 on weekends. Come out of Exit 3 of Hongik Univ. Station and just stroll along looking at the street, and you'll find the café! The black exterior has such a vibe even from far away haha

What is the 1st floor of Central Site Yeonnam like?

On the 1st floor the counter is right by the entrance, and since they roast their own coffee, there are all kinds of beans and the roasting machine on display!! In front of that, bar tables are arranged with real style!

On the side there are also seats where you can drink coffee while looking outside! The coffee is great, and with space up to the 3rd floor there are lots of different seats, so you can come comfortably :)

You can look at various beans, hear explanations and smell them too, which was quite fun~!

This is... I don't really know, maybe a chart of coffee flavors? haha It looks cool

2nd-floor window bar tables: fine to come alone?

The 2nd floor also has plenty of seats! The window side is bar tables again, so I think it would be no pressure to come alone and enjoy the window view with a coffee. Lush green trees are planted in front, so you get a decent nature view with your coffee, which is lovely

Behind that there are plenty of varied seats too.

Is the 3rd-floor rooftop good for working on a laptop?

The 3rd floor is a rooftop with a variety of seats here too. Quite a few people were working on laptops! With so many roomy seats, it seems easy to work without any pressure~~

Coffee and dessert we ordered at Central Site Yeonnam

On the staff's recommendation, we ordered two of the "special brewing coffees": Ethiopia Guji Haro Wachu and Guatemala Entre Volcanes 2026 Washed. There were so many kinds of coffee, as you'd expect from a coffee-famous place, that I couldn't decide what to pick T_T The names are hard, but simply put, we ordered one nutty coffee and one with acidity haha

There were lots of desserts too, but I heard Central Site's tiramisu is famous~~ so we ordered one of those as well haha

It was around evening, with a cool breeze blowing, and having cold coffee and sweet tiramisu made me so happy T_T

Fruity Guatemala Entre Volcanes Washed

I ordered the coffee with acidity, and it was full of fresh, fruity aroma and the coffee scent was so good T_T I don't really know coffee flavors in detail, but I could tell this was a delicious coffee haha

Nutty Ethiopia Guji Haro Wachu with big square ice

My friend ordered the nutty-scented coffee, and it had a different kind of charm in its aroma, which was neat, and it was delicious too! The ice was a stylish big square cube~~ like drinking whiskey >.<

What does Central Site's tiramisu taste like?

The tiramisu's bottom sponge was moistened with coffee and very soft, and the cream on top was sweet and moist. I ate it with huge expectations!! and it's really good... T_T The overall balance is great~~!! Eating it with the coffee was the best combo haha

Can you see in the photo how the sponge at the bottom is soaked with coffee..!? Not dry at all, just moist through and through T_T
