Welcome back to Kovolution! I am your local guide, Park's Korean Theory.
If you find yourself near the Sookmyung Women’s University or Namyeong Station area, there is a cafe that stands out not just for its hip vibe, but for its serious commitment to coffee. Today, I’m introducing Gold Button Coffee (골드버튼커피)—a roastery that
perfectly blends industrial aesthetics with high-quality brews.
Located on the first floor of the Yumyeong-suk OB/GYN building, this spot is a favorite for locals who appreciate a properly roasted cup.
1. The Vibe: Industrial Modernity Meets Secret Terrace
- The Interior: The cafe features a high-ceiling, industrial-style interior with metal pipe accents and long wooden tables. It’s a great space for focused work or a deep chat.
- The Hidden Terrace: Walk through the back, and you’ll discover a cozy outdoor terrace area equipped with comfortable camping chairs. It’s the perfect hideout to soak in the fresh air on a sunny day.
2. Coffee Perfected: From Roasting to Presentation
- In-House Roasting: As a professional roastery, they roast their beans on-site. You can choose from their signature blends like the floral Signature Blend or the savory and heavy Nutty Rain.
- The Iconic Cups: One of the most distinctive features here is their coffee presentation. They serve their drinks in beautiful, double-walled stainless steel mugs (by Klean Kanteen). These mugs are not only stylish but also incredibly functional—they don’t sweat and they keep your coffee at the perfect temperature for longer.
3. Must-Try Treats: Signature Cookies
You can't leave without trying their thick, gourmet cookies. They offer a variety of flavors including:
- Triple Cheese Cream Cheese
- Raspberry & Fig White
- Dark Matcha Ganache
- Signature Brown Cheese
These cookies are perfectly chewy and pair wonderfully with a hot latte or a clean Americano.
