Fodor's Expert Review Coffee Libre

Opened in 2009, Coffee Libre is a small, independent coffee shop owned and operated by Korea’s first Korean Q-grader, Seo Pil-hoon. Many in the barista community credit Mr. Seo for being one of the first to introduce specialty coffee into the country and consider it a coffee lover’s rite of passage to visit the original Yeonnam-dong location. The cafe is small and fits a maximum of eight to ten people at best, but the rich aroma of coffee fills every corner of the space.
