With Coffee

About
A spacious two-story café near Hongik University Station, with terrace seating, abundant outlets, dedicated smoking areas, and rare on-site parking in busy Hongdae.
Tucked just inside the lively alleyways off Hongik University Station’s Exit 8, With Coffee offers an expansive, two-story breathing room in Mapo. What immediately sets this cafe apart in pedestrian-heavy Hongdae is its practical accessibility, complete with rare storefront parking for three to four vehicles and daily operating hours stretching past eleven at night. Inside, the cafe blends a breezy plant-filled aesthetic with feline-themed decor and animal miniature props scattered by the ordering counter. The ground floor features an airy, high-ceilinged layout dominated by two-seater tables suited for quick meetups or solo stops. Just outside the main entrance sits a dedicated smoking area and terrace, though non-smokers will prefer to head straight inside and up the stairs. The second floor opens into a considerably larger, light-flooded hall lined with potted balcony greenery and wide picture windows framing the kinetic bustle of the streets below. Tucked away toward the rear is a study-friendly zone with built-in wall power outlets, though guests carrying laptops and tablets should note that device use is restricted on the second level during peak weekend hours. The drinks menu remains remarkably accessible for the neighborhood, balancing robust espresso beverages with a deep lineup of non-caffeinated options. The standout signature is the Lotus Coffee Shake, a blended creation that nails the spiced caramelized biscuit flavor, textured with a crunchy layer of crushed cookies settled at the bottom of the cup. For standard caffeine, iced americanos are pulled with options ranging from an approachable nutty profile to brighter acidic notes, served alongside fragrant blended rooibos tea that finishes with a gentle, lingering sweetness. When sweet tooth cravings call for more than a drink, chilled display cakes like rich Oreo cake and matcha gateau round out an easy, lingering afternoon in the city.
