The Coffee Seongsu Cafe Guide Near Seoul Forest

A red brick frontage, an outdoor coffee break and a menu that gives both espresso and matcha drinkers a reason to pause: The Coffee Seongsu fits easily into a day around Seoul Forest.

A coffee stop in the Seoul Forest side of Seongsu

The entrance is part of the appeal. A small white “the coffee.” sign sits above dark doors, framed by warm red brick and greenery. In the visit photograph, a wooden tray and two paper cups rest on a round outdoor table, with the open doorway just beyond. It is an inviting setting for a short break between exploring the neighborhood's streets and shops.

For a Seongsu cafe itinerary, I would choose this stop when the setting matters as much as the drink. The outdoor tables give you a view of the brick facade, while the doorway offers a glimpse of wood details and warm light inside. Pick a seat according to the weather and what is available when you arrive.

The brand behind the coffee

The Japanese lettering on the sign is a clue to the brand's inspiration. The Coffee began in Brazil in 2018, combining Brazilian coffee with the simplicity and minimalism its founders admired in Japan. That background helps explain the restrained logo and the Japanese names that appear alongside drinks on the menu.

At Seongsu, the simple branding stands out against a textured brick building. A takeaway cup beside the illustrated coffee sign makes a natural photo subject; the exterior gives you a second, wider view of the place.

What to order at The Coffee Seongsu

Start with the official Seongsu menu and choose between espresso, milk coffee and a drink without coffee. These are useful reference prices checked on October 12, 2026:

Drink	Listed price	What it is
Americano	KRW 4,700	Espresso with water; an iced version is also listed.
True White	KRW 5,300	The brand's hot latte.
Matcha Iced Latte	KRW 6,300	Matcha with milk, without coffee.
Ichigo Matcha	KRW 6,800	An iced strawberry and matcha drink with milk.

A single drink from these examples costs KRW 4,700–6,800. Check the current selection when ordering, especially for seasonal drinks.

The pink drink in the visit photo is a lovely visual detail, with the cup's black logo set against its soft color. If that photograph is what brought you here, ask staff which seasonal drinks are available before choosing your order.

Outdoor seating and a Seongsu walk

The outdoor table is the detail I would build a visit around on a comfortable day. You can sit with your drink and enjoy the building's brickwork, greenery and open entrance. With friends, it makes an easy meeting point before continuing your neighborhood walk.

Keep the rest of the itinerary flexible. Have a look at the seating first, choose a drink, and decide whether to linger or take it along. For photographs, the facade captures the atmosphere of the cafe, while the logo sign works well for a closer cup shot.

Search for The Coffee Seongsu or 더커피 성수 in your map app, then match the street address. Use live directions from your starting point so you reach this branch rather than another The Coffee location in Seoul.

For seasonal announcements, check the Korea account, @thecoffee.kr. If a particular drink is the reason for your visit, check its sales period first.

Who I would recommend it to

I would put The Coffee Seongsu on an itinerary for someone who enjoys cafe photography, outdoor coffee breaks and a choice between coffee and matcha. Its red brick entrance gives the visit a sense of place, and a single drink is enough to make it a simple stop while exploring Seongsu.

The two photographs show the exterior, an outdoor table and a pink iced drink from the owner's visit. They give you a feel for the setting; choose from the menu available on the day you go.

About our visit photographs

Our original visit photographs document the setting and the specific details pictured in this guide. Use them to recognize the place and decide whether its setting suits your visit. They record a visit, rather than current opening hours, availability of every menu item or how busy the venue will be on another day. Confirm operational details through the venue before making a special trip.

For this guide's address, hours and listed menu, consult The Coffee's Seongsu store page and official menu. The visit photos and current product listing answer different questions: a pictured seasonal drink is not a promise that it is still on sale.
