Hell Café

If you are a coffee lover strictly focused on the quality of a coffee shop, then this independent coffee shop in Itaewon will satisfy your taste buds. There is no doubt that Hell Cafe’s coffee is excellent. However, the cafe is not the best place to meet with friends because it is not very big. It’s worth noting that Hell Cafe roasts its coffee so that coffee lovers will enjoy the experience. You must know beforehand that the coffee here is quite strong, which is very different from Korean coffee. The cappuccinos are extremely popular here and are always freshly made in front of the customer.
