Millo Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Seoul

Stumbled across this place, and I was pleasantly quite impressed. I decided to order the single origin filter coffee on ice, and while I was disappointed they served it to me in a cocktail tumbler rather than a carafe (portion seemed quite small, maybe 200ml of coffee rather than a more typical 250 or 300?). However, the quality was superb. I sadly don’t speak Korean so I couldn’t get into asking about what coffee I was drinking, but the tasting notes I found were intensely bright and fruity. Zero bitterness, just sweet and juicy sourness. A bit of body in the mouthfeel; I wish I’d watched to see what type of filter they used (doesn’t taste like a hario paper to me). In terms of price; it is pretty comparable with prices in Australia (7.5k won). Hand poured filter coffee takes a lot of labour, so this is the price you should expect if workers are paid fairly for their time.

The vibe is cute inside. It’s a tiny spot. Classical music is playing in the background. I feel like this is a place two beautiful people would go on a date...

One of the best cafes in Seoul, the service is outstanding, the smell when you walk in the door is mouthwatering, and the coffee itself is well above standard, not to mention the meticulously clean devour and classical music playing, Millo knows exactly what kind of cafe it is, and it does it perfectly.

I stayed close by for a few weeks and went to Millo almost everyday, the older gentleman who worked there treated me with a huge smile everyday, I cannot recommend Millo enough.

I recommend trying a Mont Blanc (hot or cold up to you, both good) if your not in the mood for coffee their peppermint tea is out of this world, but as a specialty barista And coffee trainer of 6 years, the hot drip coffee brought a little tear to my eye, amazing...

Great ambiance Reminds me of coffee shops in Korea 20years ago. Lovely the classic music, beautiful display of coffee cups. They make coffee with care. Use good beans and offer single origin beans. It takes them a while to make coffee.

Unless you love drip, pour over method, I say go elsewhere for a bold espresso drinks. As I prefer robust espresso lattes, this place was not for me. We added a shot of espresso to make it bold but it didn’t quite do it. We were hoping to find complex bold espresso drinks, too bad...
