Hi Aaron,

Was just there today, and while im not certain, based on the photos you’ve posted, I don’t believe it is in the same location any longer. That location (on the corner, brick building with lots of windows) is now a Kiehls. Instead, it is about 30m further down, on the left hand side. It’s an up and down location – the Probat and a takeaway bar are on the main floor, and the cafe is in the basement. The coffee was good though, especially the blended drip they did, which had exceptional balance, really clean acidity, and great mouthfeel.

Your directions would remain the same, but once you turn left (off the stone walled road), you now head 30m down, past another cafe/roaster to the Coffee Factory. Hope that helps.

Yes. This coffee house is still in the original location
as stated in the review. Their coffee is extremely good.
Also they are a member of the KFTA. Korea fair trade association.
A big thumbs up in my books!

Excellent coffee!

This had been my favorite cafe in Seoul for some time. I went to this place today and found that it is gone.
