Terarosa Coffee — Restaurant in Seoul

Very impressive coffee shop within the POSCO Center.

This is a HUGE coffee shop and one of the most impressive coffee joints I've ever been to, anywhere.

Perhaps it's because it is located in the POSCO Center (POSCO is one of, if not, the biggest and most modern steel manufacturers in the world - #1 in terms of technology and production), the build material incorporates a lot of steel. There is the iconic, huge bookshelf backdrop behind the counter. In the center is a gargantuan stairway (mix of steps and seats) to the upper floor, where there are plenty of seats. During lunch hours, however, this place is packed, but thins out rather quickly.

Good assortment of pastries, cakes, scones, croissants, etc., as well as a diverse offering of coffee and tea, including hand dripped coffee.

Unlike most coffee shops that are small and "cozy," this place is like a modern museum. Well worth the look.

this branch of Terarosa Coffee, one of the better coffee roastery chains in Korea, is located on the first floor at Posco Center.

Forget the food or the fact that the baristas will make any coffee for you (an issue we’ve had the entire time we’ve been in Korea).

This cafe / bookstore is so cool. The industrial steel theme stems from the fact that it’s in Posco (a steel company surprise surprise). There’s a huge open stair case looking down to the bar. Behind the stairs at the top is a steel gallery, and behind the bar are the bookstore shelves.

Plenty of seating everywhere.

A great place to just sit down and take it all in, the hustle and bustle and energy of day-to-day...
