Hakrim Dabang

Opened in 1956, this is the oldest extant coffee shop (in Korean,; dabang) in Seoul. Known for its vintage charm, cozy wooden interiors, and retro vibe, Hakrim Dabang offers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of the old Seoul. It’s particularly famous for its hand-drip coffee, tea, and classic menu items like the "Vienna coffee," served with a generous topping of whipped cream. The café is a beloved spot for artists, writers, and students, providing a peaceful escape and a slice of Korean coffee culture in a timeless setting.
