I visited Tiede, a "Bunjokka" café with a great atmosphere near Cheonho Station.
A large two-story café, and above all, its soft warm-tone lighting makes it great for working or studying at a café.
There are also plenty of seats, and it seemed that groups of 8 to 12 people sometimes visit.
☕ Store atmosphere
We visited on a Sunday evening, so the seating was generally quite open! The 3rd floor had many people who came to work or study, and the 2nd floor had many people who came for dates or to chat with friends.
Personally, it felt like a café where the atmospheres for working and chatting are nicely balanced.
Seats with charging available
Not all seats have power outlets. The seats that have outlets are roughly as follows!
[Seats with power outlets]
Row tables in front of the 2nd-floor counter
Tables with sofas on the 2nd and 3rd floors
Tables against the wall
Not every table against the wall has a power outlet, so you’ll need to check!
Opening hours
Weekdays and weekends are both open from 11:30 AM to 11:30 PM.
Last orders are at 11:00 PM.
Directions
The shop entrance is tucked into a corner of an alley. Enter the alley to the right of Dwaebong Samgyeopsal and you’ll see the entrance to the café.
📄 Menu
(The menu above was taken from Tiede's Naver Map menu tab.)
The menu ranges from coffee to desserts. Sandwiches couldn't be ordered on Sunday evenings—they seem to be available only in the morning to lunch hours, so you should check in person whether they're available when you visit.
You can check desserts at the counter display. I tried the milk crepe before and remember it wasn't too sweet and the fresh cream was delicious. ☺️
We had an iced café latte and an iced Americano that day. You can choose between two coffee beans, 'Leon' and 'Matilda', when ordering!
[Coffee bean choices]
Leon: A nutty, deep-bodied bean
Matilda: A bean with fragrant fruity notes
🔍 Restroom, Parking, and Smoking Room Information
Restrooms
There are separate men's and women's restrooms on the 3rd floor.
Parking
There doesn't seem to be dedicated parking.
It's about a 5-minute walk from Cheonho Station, so I recommend using the subway or public transportation.
Smoking room
The smoking room is in front of the restrooms on the 3rd floor.
I visit the Cheonho Station area often, so when I need to work at a café I usually come to Tiede. The lighting isn't too bright and the soft warm tone helps me concentrate better.
If you're looking for a café with a nice atmosphere around Cheonho, I recommend stopping by Tiede. 🙌
