A bread-and-coffee opening chapter for a day around Anguk.
Choose a pastry, find a place to pause and let the courtyard do some of the work. This is the Anguk branch, not the brand’s other Seoul locations. A busy courtyard may mean a wait.
The operator lists 07:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and 09:00 to 22:00 on weekends and public holidays, with last orders at 21:30. Check the current menu on arrival. The cover is an original editorial illustration, not a photograph of the café.
