A long-running neighborhood hand-drip coffee house near Hansung University that locals in Seongbuk-dong treat as their regular spot, despite its bean-shop-sounding name. The house draw is dark-roast pour-over coffee — including an Ethiopia Koke Honey — alongside its well-known cube latte and a shared bingsu in season. Blog mentions have stayed steady from 2022 through 2026, with occasional weekend-afternoon waits confirming the demand is real rather than manufactured.
