Grove 177

Grove 177 is a cafe in Hongdae that sells coffee and cake, set on a quiet alley near Hongik University Station on the Gyeongui Line and Chaekgeori. Customers can choose between coffee with acidity or a nutty profile, tea is served in a mini kettle, and peppermint tea is also available. The interior is filled with green plants and has many seats, while the outdoor terrace has a turning waterwheel and wood slab tables. It draws a crowd even on weekday afternoons, so noise is a drawback.
