Seoul's oldest coffeehouse, open since 1956 — a decades-long haunt of poets and artists.
It began by the old Seoul National University arts campus and drew writers like Cheon Sang-byeong and Kim Seung-ok. The creaking wooden stairs, classical records and worn-in air have stayed nearly untouched for over sixty years.
