Directions

Housed in a converted shoe factory, Anthracite is a landmark of Seoul's third-wave coffee scene with dramatic industrial interiors and serious brewing standards. The Hapjeong location is the original and most atmospheric, with exposed concrete, high ceilings, and a courtyard. Get a batch brew or cold brew and settle in for hours. It can get very crowded on weekends and the seating fills fast.
