WHY GO

Hakrim adds an older chapter of Seoul coffee culture to a Hyehwa itinerary. Its long history is matched by a menu built around espresso, Vienna coffee and cream cheesecake, while reporting also documents the café’s own roasting tradition. The wooden room, portraits and mezzanine provide a very different setting from a contemporary tasting bar. Choose it for that historical context and a leisurely cream coffee after a walk through the theater district.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Try Vienna coffee with cream cheesecake, or choose a double espresso for a smaller order.
