BEAN BROTHERS COFFEEHOUSE SEOUL — Restaurant in Seoul

Beautiful cafe with amazing views over the Han River. Got the Velvet White blend for a Latte. Advertised as a more fruity blend, for people that like Ethiopian blends. Milk texture, temperature and latte art all fantastic however the coffee was lacking its coffee flavour. In both lattes we could only taste the warm milk. Normally I would’ve left it but at 9,000 won being on the pricier side, flagged this with the staff.

On receiving, we only received one flat white rather than two. When suggesting it was both lattes that had the same issue, it seemed either it was not understood clearly or they were not keen to make another replacement, and left it at the one replacement. The flat white, while being slightly more flavourful than the previous, still tasted too milky unfortunately and I couldn’t taste any of the flavours I expected from an Ethiopian blend, of which I’ve had quite a few in Seoul.

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I really hope to come back here on my next trip to Seoul.

I highly recommend this place for heartfelt conversations or a peaceful self-date. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down and savor the moment. I genuinely...

Pros. Beautiful views of the Han River and coffee is great. We found the desserts to be quite tasty as well, especially the shortbread. Did not feel pressured to leave early.

Cons. Seating is a bit difficult as you need to register for the waiting list and they seat you based on the exact next table available, even if you were open to waiting a bit longer for a specific table (for the view). We understand as it’s their system to ensure a seamless flow for a nice space, but it felt unnecessarily stiff and did not make the...
