About
Cozy neighborhood roastery near Ewha Womans University Station known for award-winning hand drip coffee, specialty roasts, and gluten-free butter rice cake desserts.
Tucked into an uphill alleyway behind the Nonghyup bank near Ewha Womans University Station, Team Lee Coffee Roasters operates like a quiet neighborhood hideaway. The compact, warmly lit Mapo space balances an analog charm with serious brewing credentials—trophies and competition accolades line the walls, yet the counter-service atmosphere remains welcoming and unpretentious. With just a few bar stools, a couple of small tables, and an intimate attic-like nook tucked into the back, the cafe fills quickly with solo visitors and locals who treat the roastery as an everyday refuge. The roaster takes an approachable view of specialty coffee, categorizing espresso house blends by Korean clan origins: the nutty, rounded Jeonju blend, the floral, brighter Hapcheon, and the Gyeongju decaf. Hand-drip filter options showcase extensive single-origin selections, which staff explain without industry jargon, inviting guests to smell whole beans before deciding. Drinks cater thoughtfully to dietary needs, including decaf switches and lactose-free milk for milk-based staples. The signature Team Lee Latte provides a comforting, slightly sweetened milk profile, while iced Americanos and lattes lean heavy and robust. Outside the standard bean roster, seasonal beverages like the refreshing, ruby-red tomato sherbet offer an uncommon, icy fruit contrast to the roaster's deeper extractions. Baking plays an equally careful role behind the counter. Morning prep turns out freshly baked pound cakes and apple hand pies, though the menu’s most distinctive draw is buttertteok—dense, chewy rice-cake bars made without wheat flour. Available in original and chocolate varieties, these gluten-free cakes pair naturally with strong, clean filter brews. Small, thoughtful extras frequently accompany orders, whether a pour of black tea or sweet candied walnuts (hodu-jeonggwa). It is the kind of deliberate, neighborhood-rooted operation that rewards those willing to wander slightly off the main university boulevards.
