[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Fritz Coffee Company Dohwa (Updated Mar)

In Seoul, Hannam-dong and Seongsu-dong have become my favorite shopping destinations. Hannam-dong attracts me with its unique artistic atmosphere. While strolling around, I discovered a niche bag store called Hotel Anoetic💼. The bags in the store are unique and full of design sense, making it hard for me to resist. After picking out a favorite bag, I continued my shopping journey. Additionally, I visited Seongsu-dong, where the popular coffee shop Fritz Coffee is already well-known. ☕️ As I walked into the shop, the rich aroma of coffee greeted me. I ordered a signature coffee, sat by the window, and enjoyed the street view outside, savoring the tranquility and comfort. 🛍️These two places, with their distinctive commercial streets, made me feel the fashion and charm of Seoul.

💕 If you don't want to run around sightseeing in Seoul, just shop and eat, 3 days including Friday and the weekend are definitely enough. ✈️ In terms of transportation, the most convenient way is from Shanghai Hongqiao to Gimpo. Once you arrive at Gimpo, there is a direct subway to Hongdae, which only takes 30 minutes and you can use the Tmoney transportation card. When taking the plane, it is recommended to choose a seat near the front row, and walk quickly to the customs after getting off the plane, so that there are fewer people in line, and you can get through customs in about 15 minutes. However, there is no GM when returning to Gimpo Airport, and there are not many shops to visit. 🏠 For accommodation, it is highly recommended to stay in Hongdae. I personally think it is better to choose a hotel or a homestay with an elevator. I didn't pay much attention this time, and I found a homestay without an elevator. When I moved the boxes, I really had a little breakdown. ☕️ One of the characteristics of South Korea is coffee. I was in the rhythm of two cups a day there. Let me share with you a few coffee shops I have visited (ranked by personal preference): 1⃣️ Susanghan Bagel The main thing here is that the bagels are super delicious! Especially the Qingyang Chili Scallion Bagel, which looks like a dark dish, but as long as you take a bite, you will definitely fall in love with it. Their coffee is also very good. It is very close to Hongdae, and it is very suitable as a breakfast check-in place. 2⃣️ Fritz Their logo is a cute little seal. I had breakfast here for two days in a row. The coffee in Seoul is generally light, the kind of light roast, with a strong aroma but not a particularly strong coffee flavor. It is located near Hongdae. 3⃣️ Anthracite It is said that this shop is in the top ten in the world, but I don't think it is much different from Fritz. It may be because I personally prefer coffee with a strong coffee flavor. I recommend everyone to go to the Hannam-dong store. You can have a cup after shopping. 4⃣️ OATS I personally feel that their Viennese coffee is a bit too sweet, but the appearance is still very good, and the street in front of the store is super suitable for taking photos. Oh, by the way, the atmosphere of coffee shops in South Korea is super good, and it is very suitable for taking photos with a Polaroid camera. 🥢 Food: Soy crab must be the first! I recommend Pyeonghae's. There is also 24h potato pork bone soup, which is super popular, but there are too many people, and you have to queue for 3 hours. You can only wait on the spot, and there is no air conditioning. There are also relatively few seats. I can only give up in the end. I feel that the barbecue here is not much different from the Korean Street in Shanghai. 🎬 Shopping: I highly recommend Hannam-dong, where shops are more concentrated. At the end of July, it is the discount season, and the discounts are quite attractive. However, it is also the rainy season, and the weather is hot and humid, even hotter than the plum rain season in Shanghai. Everyone should be mentally prepared.

#koreatrip This is a coffee and bakery with great value for money. The atmosphere is a bit Japanese with a retro feel. The coffee beans are rich and smooth, and the baguettes are also very rich and smooth. Fritz is famous for its delicious coffee, but the other drinks were also delicious. Since it was the weekend, it was crowded and I had to order as if I was being pushed, but there were a lot of goods and a variety of breads, so there was a lot to see! I think it would be good to visit when you have time. Address : 17 Saechang-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea

The coffee is rich and flavorful, but what truly stole the show for me was their impeccable bread selection. Bought a custard bun in plastic wrapping, two bags of coffee bean -smelled wonderful back in hotel room. I’m saying this as someone who drinks coffee daily from the best coffee beans available only. There is no doubt that this is one of the top coffee making places. Be sure to check the board outside for a list of when fresh pastries are coming out. They’re one of the top importer, roaster of specialty beans. Even an aged person can enjoy the hip coffee culture here. #koreatrip #drinks #cafe #coffee #authentic #deliciousfood #bakery

Fritz coffee company turned out to be better than expected. I had tried several cafe's and was somewhat disappointed feeling that in Seoul the attention is more towards appearance of the cafe and fancy interiors but coffee doesn't hold substance. However it was different. The coffee is rich and flavorful, but what truly stole the show for me was their impeccable bread selection. We tried the long black, flat white and latte with oat milk. Long black was the best of the three. Overall it makes for a very nice place to grab a coffee or even explore their range of pastries and breads. #koreatrip
