An Ikseon-dong hanok cafe built around an old train-platform concept, with railway track running from the entrance through the seating alleys inside the hanok. It has held on as one of the neighborhood's icon cafes since opening in 2021, drawing both steady local visits and heavy tourist foot traffic to the alley. Recent visitor write-ups repeatedly single out the seoktan (charcoal) coffee and the cafe's layered cakes as the signature order.
