Everything at Coffee Hanjan is handmade with great care. Its owner even invented a device that roasts coffee beans using live coals to preserve the natural flavor of the coffee. With this machine, beans for specialty coffees can be roasted at different temperatures depending on the condition of the beans. Their hand drip coffee comes with the highest recommendations, but their espresso drinks are also top notch. Feeling a little peckish? Try their hoddeok, a common street food that resembles a small pancake filled with sugar that many Koreans will remember from their childhood. In fact, the theme of the store’s interior is "Korea 30 years ago" and took the owner a month to design. Visit the café on a sunny weekday afternoon, rather than the weekend, to avoid the crowds and enjoy all that the shop has to offer. Smokers will appreciate the outdoor seating. Adding to the convenience, Coffee Hanjan is one of the few cafes in Seochon with its own parking lot.
Opens weekdays 12:00~22:00& weekends 12:00~21:00; closed on holidays
