Café · Seoul, South Korea
Milestone Coffee sits on Nonhyeon-ro in Sinsa-dong, tucked into one of Gangnam's quieter backstreets just off Garosu-gil. The outdoor tables, the dark wood, the unhurried pace of the neighbourhood, it is the kind of spot where you order one coffee and end up staying far longer than planned. I went for the espresso and stayed for the area. Sinsa-dong has that rare quality in Seoul where every corner reveals another small cafe or boutique worth exploring. After the coffee I grabbed an ebike and headed towards N Seoul Tower to catch the sunset, which made for a perfect afternoon in the city. If you are looking for a specialty coffee stop in Gangnam that gives you a proper neighbourhood experience rather than just a drink, this is it.
