Koffee sniffer — Restaurant in Seoul

Opened in 2019, Koffee Sniffer is located just round the corner from City Hall station, occupying a ground floor space that has housed coffee parlours since the 1970s. While the original brick interior remains intact the design has plenty of modern touches from suspended neon lights, dark green monochrome colour scheme and state-of-the-art coffee machinery chosen carefully by the team of baristas who started this ambitious brand. Atop the counter sits a new generation customised Faema E71, a stylish Compak R120 automatic grinder (Spain) for filter and a Compak E5 for espressos.

At the time of visiting they had a one blend and three single origins on offer including:

1. Incense Blend
2. Indonesia Sumatra Gayo Pegasing
3. Colombia Hidden Hills #7
4. Ethiopia Samii Uraga Raro #4

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Koffee Sniffer in bustling Seoul! This cafe is a hidden gem!

The filtered coffee was expertly prepared, with great notes that hit all the right spots. It was the perfect first cup of the day, and I loved every sip.

Paired with my excellent coffee, I had a slice of yuzu pound cake. It was rich, moist, and with pieces of yuzu that added a beautiful brightness to the flavor.

The vibe of the cafe was exactly what I needed - chill, relaxed, and calming. It was the perfect oasis in the midst of Seoul's hustle and bustle.

The coffee was so good that I had to get an oat latte to go! It was just as good - smooth and rich!

Overall, I'm so impressed with Koffee Sniffer. If you're a coffee lover or just looking for a place to recharge, do yourself a favor and...

As a fellow Australian, we have great coffee in Melbourne. So it was a little hard to find good coffee in Korea during our holiday but we stumbled across this tiny coffee shop near our hotel. And it’s safe to say… their coffee is incredible! I ended up coming here everyday of my trip.

Please try their Signature Iced Custard Latte - perfectly sweet with a hint of custard with every sip of coffee, like nothing else I’ve ever had. Their biscuit latte is also great, tastes like biscoff.

If you’re looking for good coffee, please pay Koffee Sniffer a visit. Highly...
