Wandering around Seun Daelim Shopping Mall in search of Rione Coffee, I took the long way around. A single staircase would have sufficed, but the detour brought a smile to my face. When I finally found it, Rione Coffee felt like a little slice of Italy. The vintage yellow sign and the authentic espresso bar ambiance were utterly charming. Sitting by the window on a quiet morning, I enjoyed a moment of serenity.

At the owner's recommendation, I tried the Marone coffee and an egg tart. The interplay of bitter espresso followed by the subtle sweetness of dark chocolate was delightful. The dollop of white cream floating on top was surprisingly smooth and sweet. The egg tart had a flaky, crisp pastry shell encasing a soft, custard-like egg filling—a perfect combination of textures that brought joy with every bite.

Curious about the staff's intriguing description—"It feels more like drinking tea than coffee"—I ordered the Ethiopia Arbe Gona Rumudamo. The promise of elderflower, white peach, and acacia notes already had my senses anticipating the aroma.

As I took a sip, the brewing process faithfully delivered the described flavors. The tartness of guava and raspberry, followed by the smooth aftertaste of milk chocolate, filled my palate. My friend’s coffee, with its delicate sweetness of white peach and floral hints of acacia, was equally enchanting. We exchanged sips, sharing our admiration for each cup. The pre-warmed cups and coffee server reflected the owner’s meticulous attention to detail.

Beyond an iron door, after a bit of wandering, I stepped into a space where time seemed to flow backward. The vintage interior, adorned with old furniture and unique artifacts, sparked creative inspiration. The soft background music transported me into the scene of a secretive movie.

I ordered a warm decaffeinated drip coffee and a strawberry mascarpone dessert. The blend of tart strawberries, sweet honey, and smooth cream cheese was so delicious that I forgot all about my appetite. With a book in one hand and a sketchpad capturing the quirky furniture in the other, I spent a leisurely, artistic afternoon here.

Jeokdang felt like a hotel café tucked into a quiet corner of a lobby—an oasis of calm. The display of ceramic tableware was captivating, but I resisted the temptation to shop and instead ordered a warm red bean latte and a monaka wafer.

The red bean latte had a simple yet comforting sweetness, while the monaka offered a familiar harmony of red bean and vanilla ice cream. But more than the flavors, my focus was on finding peace. I spent my time journaling and organizing my thoughts, relishing in the slow rhythm of the space.
