NETZ Kaffeehaus: A Hidden Café Gem in Seoul ☕

 NETZ kaffeehaus
Seoul, Jung District, Toegye-ro 41-gil, 22

Tucked right next to Sewoon Sangga, the historic electronics shopping center in Seoul, inside an old, slightly run-down building, lies a hidden café gem that’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. I almost walked right past the narrow entrance and second-guessed myself, climbing the dim stairway to the second floor.

The moment I pushed open the door, it felt like I had stepped into a trendy café in Seongsu. The space is beautifully designed — warm, minimal, and effortlessly stylish. Soft lighting, earthy tones, and curated details create an inviting, cozy atmosphere, enhanced by the easygoing rock music playing in the background. It’s a place built for lingering.

What truly sets this place apart is the drink menu. I went with the champagne and vinegar drink — which might sound strange at first — but it was incredibly refreshing and surprisingly well-balanced. Even the welcome water, served in a small crystal whiskey glass, made an impression. Every detail feels intentional.

I instantly fell in love with the vibe and honestly didn’t want to leave. NETZ Kaffeehaus is a true hidden spot worth seeking out.
