[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Fritz Coffee Company Dohwa (Updated Jul)

In Seoul, Hannam-dong and Seongsu-dong have become my favorite shopping destinations. Hannam-dong attracts me with its unique artistic atmosphere. While strolling around, I discovered a niche bag store called Hotel Anoetic💼. The bags in the store are unique and full of design sense, making it hard for me to resist. After picking out a favorite bag, I continued my shopping journey. Additionally, I visited Seongsu-dong, where the popular coffee shop Fritz Coffee is already well-known. ☕️ As I walked into the shop, the rich aroma of coffee greeted me. I ordered a signature coffee, sat by the window, and enjoyed the street view outside, savoring the tranquility and comfort. 🛍️These two places, with their distinctive commercial streets, made me feel the fashion and charm of Seoul.

💕 If you don't want to run around sightseeing in Seoul, just shop and eat, 3 days including Friday and the weekend are definitely enough. ✈️ In terms of transportation, the most convenient way is from Shanghai Hongqiao to Gimpo. Once you arrive at Gimpo, there is a direct subway to Hongdae, which only takes 30 minutes and you can use the Tmoney transportation card. When taking the plane, it is recommended to choose a seat near the front row, and walk quickly to the customs after getting off the plane, so that there are fewer people in line, and you can get through customs in about 15 minutes. However, there is no GM when returning to Gimpo Airport, and there are not many shops to visit. 🏠 For accommodation, it is highly recommended to stay in Hongdae. I personally think it is better to choose a hotel or a homestay with an elevator. I didn't pay much attention this time, and I found a homestay without an elevator. When I moved the boxes, I really had a little breakdown. ☕️ One of the characteristics of South Korea is coffee. I was in the rhythm of two cups a day there. Let me share with you a few coffee shops I have visited (ranked by personal preference): 1⃣️ Susanghan Bagel The main thing here is that the bagels are super delicious! Especially the Qingyang Chili Scallion Bagel, which looks like a dark dish, but as long as you take a bite, you will definitely fall in love with it. Their coffee is also very good. It is very close to Hongdae, and it is very suitable as a breakfast check-in place. 2⃣️ Fritz Their logo is a cute little seal. I had breakfast here for two days in a row. The coffee in Seoul is generally light, the kind of light roast, with a strong aroma but not a particularly strong coffee flavor. It is located near Hongdae. 3⃣️ Anthracite It is said that this shop is in the top ten in the world, but I don't think it is much different from Fritz. It may be because I personally prefer coffee with a strong coffee flavor. I recommend everyone to go to the Hannam-dong store. You can have a cup after shopping. 4⃣️ OATS I personally feel that their Viennese coffee is a bit too sweet, but the appearance is still very good, and the street in front of the store is super suitable for taking photos. Oh, by the way, the atmosphere of coffee shops in South Korea is super good, and it is very suitable for taking photos with a Polaroid camera. 🥢 Food: Soy crab must be the first! I recommend Pyeonghae's. There is also 24h potato pork bone soup, which is super popular, but there are too many people, and you have to queue for 3 hours. You can only wait on the spot, and there is no air conditioning. There are also relatively few seats. I can only give up in the end. I feel that the barbecue here is not much different from the Korean Street in Shanghai. 🎬 Shopping: I highly recommend Hannam-dong, where shops are more concentrated. At the end of July, it is the discount season, and the discounts are quite attractive. However, it is also the rainy season, and the weather is hot and humid, even hotter than the plum rain season in Shanghai. Everyone should be mentally prepared.

A must-visit for Seoul's bakery pilgrimage: Fritz Dohwajeom! This cafe has been awarded the Blue Ribbon since 2016. Isn't it amazing??? In particular, Fritz is the leader in fig campagne!! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, that japchae! The combination of figs and Fritz coffee in the rich whole wheat is just amazing🩵 The vintage yet creative atmosphere of the store is also unique. Fritz Coffee is one of the best specialty coffee shops in Seoul. Even though I don't know much about coffee, I know that Fritz coffee is delicious. If you come to Mapo, you can't miss Fritz Dohwajeom~~~ #SeoulCafe#Fritz

Stepping into Fritz Coffee’s Dohwa outlet felt like finding a secret haven tucked into a hanok-style building right off Gongdeok Station. Immediately, the comforting aroma of freshly ground coffee mingled with the scent of warm pastries, setting the tone for a relaxed morning. The blend of exposed brick, wooden beams, and vintage seal-logo accents created a nostalgic yet welcoming atmosphere—perfect for lingering with a cappuccino or catching up on emails. Behind a glass-paneled counter, baristas roamed the roastery space, chatting softly as they weighed and brewed each cup with precision. My go-to—an oat-milk latte—was velvety and delightfully balanced, paired with a flaky croissant stuffed with just-right melted chocolate. I watched through the window as fresh bread came out every half hour, and locals happily popped in to grab warm loaves straight from the oven. The place buzzes most during weekend mornings, but not overwhelmingly so. Seating spills outside under charming rainbow parasols—ideal for people-watching on Saechang-ro 2-gil, or just enjoying a quiet moment away from Seoul’s hustle. If you’re after top-tier coffee, handcrafted pastries, and a space that feels like a local treasure, Fritz Dohwa is a must-visit and an easy walk from Gongdeok Station Exit 8.  #seoulspots

Fritz Dohwa Branch 17 Saechang-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul 08:00~22:00 (Opens at 10:00 on weekends) Fritz is always a reliable café that comes to mind. Every time I visit, it's crowded, and I think to myself, 'Wow, it's still so popular!' Not only do they serve great coffee, but they also offer a wide variety of bread, which is fantastic! I tried their decaf drip coffee, and I highly recommend it. It's clean and has a nice acidity that people who enjoy such flavors would love 👍🏻. I’ll definitely visit again when I’m near Gongdeok 💙.

During my trip to Seoul, the most memorable experience was visiting Fritz! Their baked goods and coffee are both outstanding 🍞 If you're staying in the Mapo area, why not start your morning with a cup of coffee? I visited the shop right at 8 AM when it opened, and there were already quite a few locals enjoying their time there. 🦭 Fritz has been awarded the Blue Ribbon certification for nine consecutive years, a prestigious recognition in Korea's culinary scene. One of the co-founders is the champion of the 2014 World Coffee Championship, and they also supply coffee beans to many other cafes! The overall style is a cool, traditional Korean hanok vibe, but the interior feels warm and cozy, creating a perfect atmosphere! The shop also sells coffee beans, and most visitors leave with a bag of "everything good" to take home. 🏡 Shop Name: Fritz Coffee

#NewYorkFlightEvent Address: 17 Saechang-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul I visited the Fritz Painting Store on Saechang-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul~ It was so cool from the entrance, but when I went inside, it was like a wine bar and the antique furniture was just my style :) The coffee is delicious and there are also products that are good to buy as gifts, so if you go to Seoul, go there~

#koreatrip This is a coffee and bakery with great value for money. The atmosphere is a bit Japanese with a retro feel. The coffee beans are rich and smooth, and the baguettes are also very rich and smooth. Fritz is famous for its delicious coffee, but the other drinks were also delicious. Since it was the weekend, it was crowded and I had to order as if I was being pushed, but there were a lot of goods and a variety of breads, so there was a lot to see! I think it would be good to visit when you have time. Address : 17 Saechang-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea

The coffee is rich and flavorful, but what truly stole the show for me was their impeccable bread selection. Bought a custard bun in plastic wrapping, two bags of coffee bean -smelled wonderful back in hotel room. I’m saying this as someone who drinks coffee daily from the best coffee beans available only. There is no doubt that this is one of the top coffee making places. Be sure to check the board outside for a list of when fresh pastries are coming out. They’re one of the top importer, roaster of specialty beans. Even an aged person can enjoy the hip coffee culture here. #koreatrip #drinks #cafe #coffee #authentic #deliciousfood #bakery

Fritz coffee company turned out to be better than expected. I had tried several cafe's and was somewhat disappointed feeling that in Seoul the attention is more towards appearance of the cafe and fancy interiors but coffee doesn't hold substance. However it was different. The coffee is rich and flavorful, but what truly stole the show for me was their impeccable bread selection. We tried the long black, flat white and latte with oat milk. Long black was the best of the three. Overall it makes for a very nice place to grab a coffee or even explore their range of pastries and breads. #koreatrip
