About
Two-story specialty roastery along the Gyeongui Line Forest Trail, known for house-roasted filter coffee and tranquil leafy park views.
A short stroll from Daeheung Station along the Gyeongui Line Forest Trail leads to Biroso Coffee, an enduring Mapo fixture set in a distinct red-brick building. Recognized in both the 2024 and 2025 Blue Ribbon Surveys, this two-story roastery balances meticulous extraction with an unhurried, neighborhood pace. The ground floor centers on a lengthy wooden counter where baristas pull espresso shots and brew pour-overs. Here, sample jars of freshly ground coffee and detailed tasting cards let you evaluate beans—such as Los Pinos Geisha, the house Eoullim blend, or a naturally processed Sidama Bensa—before deciding on a cup. Shelves along the perimeter display bags of their in-house roasted beans alongside branded coffee capsules and drip bags. The menu branches into standard drip options, cold brew, and signature creations like the Sinsudong Blues, bergamot milk tea, and real raspberry milk. While the ground floor features high-backed counter seating that tends toward steady bustle, the upstairs shifts into a more contemplative rhythm. Bathed in natural light, the second floor combines conventional wooden cafe tables with a low, floor-seated area tucked in the back. The coveted vantage point is by the expansive glass windows, which frame the leafy canopy of the forest trail directly outside, complemented by vintage lamps and low-profile speakers. To accompany the brews, a glass display case holds dense sweets, including Levain cookies, dark chocolate cookies, Basque cheesecake, and slices of Earl Grey and Elvis pound cakes. A soft plain cookie paired with an Americano or a berry-forward iced filter coffee highlights the cafe's dual appeal: serious, house-roasted specialty coffee and a serene green view that makes you linger.
