Doduk and Kyubum

Doduk and Kyubum works out of a renovated former garage at 32 Dongmak ro 19 gil, on a Sangsu dong lane near Hongdae. A five kilo Probat roaster handles the roasting in house, and the bar offers a rotating group of single origin coffees along with batch brew for anyone who wants a quick cup. The room itself is narrow, with an individual look.

The cafe opens at half past nine and runs through the day to eight in the evening, every day of the week.
