Sinsu & Daeheung

신수 · 대흥

Follow the park to a quieter cup.

This stretch of Mapo trades Hongdae’s busy shopping streets for the Gyeongui Line Forest Park and residential lanes. Biroso is our coffee anchor: a café of an independent roasting company, with windows facing the greenery. Make it a park walk with one considered coffee stop, rather than another crowded café crawl.

MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT

Start at Biroso on Gwangseong-ro 6-gil, then follow the nearby Gyeongui Line Forest Park. For a second roaster on a longer outing, continue towards the Gongdeok area and Fritz Dohwa; check the walking route first.

Take your coffee walk onto the quieter Sinsu stretch of the Gyeongui Line Forest Park. Behind Biroso’s brick frontage is a roasting company that describes careful green-bean selection and weekly quality checks. That makes a filter coffee a sensible starting point; the park-facing windows give you a reason to linger before continuing on foot.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

A filter coffee from the day’s beans, or a flat white if you want to try the espresso with milk.

Before you goUse the Sinsu café address near Daeheung. The Paju factory address on the brand website is a different destination.
