Protokoll Yeonhui

Protokoll takes its name from the German word for record, and the Yeonhui dong shop treats coffee the same way its roasting team treats a logbook. A brick facade and tall wood framed windows mark the entrance up a short outdoor stairway, opening onto a second floor room built around long shared desks, drafting cabinet style storage and a bar where every roast profile and brew recipe gets written down.

The house runs two signature blends, a dark chocolate and brown sugar leaning Super Normal and a brighter, berry forward Fruity, both with full cupping notes printed for anyone curious, alongside a rotating cast of specialty single origin filter beans. The shop roasts on site on STRONGHOLD machines and now supplies beans to more than a hundred partner cafes nationwide, but the Yeonhui room itself stays a loud, classical music filled space that regulars treat as a long table for working over a slow cup.
