Ikseondong is a popular spot just a few steps from Jongno 3-ga Station.

I've been curious about this cafe for a few years, a retro-style house renovated from a traditional Korean house with antique furniture.

While taking a morning stroll, I came across this cafe, which is open from 9am.

I had some hand-dripped coffee.

I could see the pancakes being made outside, so I wanted to try some, but unfortunately, my stomach couldn't handle it in the morning! Next time, I'll definitely try it!

The open counter is lined with drip coffee servers and tableware, so a counter seat would be fun if you're traveling alone.

I thought there was a bookshelf with no books, but it turned out to be a restroom door.
