Coffee from Cafe Libre in Myeongdong Cathedral Latte from Cafe Libre in Hongdae
Got an ethiopian(?) pour over in Cafe Libre thats connected to Myeongdong Cathedral. Was very good, no real complaints. Just a solid cup of coffee.
Got a Latte at Cafe Libre in Hongdae, which is the original location, and it was just mindblowing. Super soft and silky. Sweet without it being cloying like a starbucks drink. Amazing mouthfeel. I drank the whole thing in a few minutes while walking around and contemplated walking back to get more (but decided against it due to LACTOSE INTOLERANCE ARGH). This was the best latte that I have ever had, ever. It reminded me of a latte version of the cappuchino I had in Gimmee Coffee in Soho NYC, which was also my first realization at how delicious a milk drink could be.
If there are destination restaurants, there should also be destination cafes. Cafe Libre in Hongdae is one of them
