My never ending quest to find quality coffee and espresso was rewarded this weekend after some research turned up Caffe Artigiano, a Vancouver chain with a franchise in Seoul.

I had an espresso, or three. They were solid shots with good extraction, if a bit on the watery side, though I may be used to ristretto shots. In fact, this is the first real espresso I’ve found in Korea. Definitely gonna head back. The space is very large, and interestingly filled with bags of Intelligentsia coffee (though you can’t buy it; I asked…).

Caffe Artigiano is located at Gosok Bus Terminal (고속버스터미널) on the 7 & 3 lines. It’s partially underground outside the Central City shopping complex, but I forget what subway exit it’s next to (we walked around for an hour going the wrong way trying to find it, luckily my friends are good sports haha).
