The brand is headed by Sang-ho Park — a name well known in the coffee world (2013 UK Brewers Cup champion and former Head of Quality at London’s Square Mile Coffee Roasters). So it’s no surprise that Center Coffee has built a reputation as one of Seoul’s best spots for high-quality brews.

The Seoul Forest branch is a two-story space with a rustic yet modern design, lots of natural light, and big windows that look out onto the park’s trees. Downstairs is where the baristas work their magic, while upstairs offers a spacious, calming area to sip, chat, or just slow down.

Drinks here are a little pricier, but worth it for the quality. Their Oat Latte (₩7,000) is one of the most popular, made with Rude Health oat milk for a creamy, subtly sweet finish. Other signatures include the Iced Peanut Butter Latte (₩7,000), Iced Sweet Latte (₩6,000), and the seasonal Ssuk Latte (₩6,500) infused with Korean mugwort for an earthy twist. If you’re a purist, try the Black (₩5,000) to experience their beans at their best.

💡 Tip: Grab a window seat upstairs for the best views over Seoul Forest — it’s one of the calmest places in the city to enjoy coffee.
