Ruli Coffee

Ruli Coffee is a minimalist drip bar on a Myeongdong side street at 31 Toegye ro 20 gil, built around rare Panamanian lots, from auction coffees to a deep list of Geisha. Cups arrive in thin rimmed stemware to open up the aroma, and the staff talk guests through flavor and brewing method before they choose.

Further inside, the room shifts into a playful corner of collectible capsule machines and anime goods. Parking is available on the first basement level of the building. The cafe is open every day except Wednesday, from half past eleven in the morning to half past six in the evening, so the window for a visit is short and worth planning around.
