Fodor's Expert Review Champ Coffee

$ Itaewon and Yongsan-gu Café

A well-known name in Korea’s coffee industry, Champ Coffee has several locations in Seoul, including this small cafe in the backstreets of Itaewon. Their standard Americano is perfect for anyone who appreciates medium-dark beans without any acidity, but they are best-known for their rich and creamy lattes. They have a solid flat white and their signature, the Queens Coffee, is an odd but addictive espresso topped with a bit of berry syrup. Tack on a macadamia-cranberry cookie to your brew as all the baked goods are delicious. The space, unlike many in Seoul, isn’t great for sitting for long periods of time.
