Gwanak, Seoul café with a purple latte: Pulse Line Coffee

Which way should I go from Seoul National University Station?

Pulse Line Coffee (펄스라인커피) is 632 m from Exit 1 of Seoul National University Station, toward Sharosu-gil. I happened upon it while walking nearby and went in because the interior caught my eye.

The address is 13 Gwanak-ro 14na-gil, 1F Unit 101, Gwanak-gu, Seoul. On my way there, I passed the Green House and turned into the alley on the right. It was also fun to look around the alleys of Sharosu-gil as I walked.

Is it a good space for studying or conversation?

The interior was spacious, so I could sit comfortably without worrying about finding a seat when I visited. The space was clean yet distinctive, and I was happy with the distance between tables.

There were people having work meetings, studying, and chatting like us. The overall atmosphere was calm, so I thought it would be fine for studying or doing a little work. The Wi-Fi connection was good too.

Groups are welcome, and there was a separate waiting area. The restrooms were separated for men and women, and I was satisfied with their cleanliness.

What did the Pulsenal Latte taste like?

I ordered the signature Pulsenal Latte and an iced Americano. For dessert, I chose a muffin. They also had handmade pies, but I did not get to try one this time and would like to order one on my next visit.

The purple color of the Pulsenal Latte caught my eye. To my taste, it felt as though it had a slight hint of mint. It tasted different from lattes I had had before, and its distinctiveness will probably stay with me.

When would I want to return?

I would like to return when I want to drink coffee and spend time at an easy pace in a spacious, calm setting. I thought it would also be good for coming to chat like we did, or for taking a short break during a date.

Are parking and takeout available?

Parking is not provided. I walked from the station, so it was not a major inconvenience, and there was nothing in particular that disappointed me on this visit. If you come by car, you will need to find parking separately.

Takeout and delivery are available, and simple payment is accepted. I was happy with the time I spent enjoying the spacious setting and the Pulsenal Latte, so I would like to visit again.
