Our Visit

Luft Coffee is very popular among the editor's friends. Since the editor heard so much about this place it would be impossible not to go right?   

Luft Coffee gives off a feeling of cleanliness and simplicity even before you enter. Koreans use the term 'hip' when they get the feeling that something is luxurious or ahead of current trends. With this in mind, this place is really 'hip'. 

The moment I entered LUFT Coffee it felt as if I had teleported. I felt like I was at a trendy cafe in Hawaii. The combination of high ceilings, white walls, and the green color of the plants created a clean and cool atmosphere.

The bright lights and modern interior gave me the thought that it was a really nice place to take pictures. The cafe was very spacious and comfortable for a good rest and there were a lot of outlets everywhere which made me notice quite a few people with their laptops. 

On one side of the cafe, there was a place to bake bread with a Patisserie constantly making fresh bread.

LUFT Coffee has a lot of pride in its coffee beans.

They have three types of beans (SEOUL, LUFT, HAWAII KAU). When ordering an Americano you can choose one of the three bean types for your order. Seoul is a coffee bean with dark chocolate, honey, and nut scent. LUFT is a coffee bean that has a fruity scent. It has a slightly sour taste in the start but a sweet taste comes around later ending with a clean aftertaste. HAWAII KAU is a coffee bean with a slightly sour taste with a strong taste. To people who don't like a light taste! I recommend to you this coffee bean that has a strong taste.

On one side, there is a place where they sell bottled drinks. The design of these bottles is so artistic my desire to buy these drinks filled by just looking at the bottles. After deciding which drink to drink I finally decided to drink Milk Tea. 

Additionally, I contemplated eating the macaroons next to the bottles as it looked like they were fully filled. Fully filled macaroons are trending in Korea rather than standard macaroons so if you are curious about their taste you should try them at LUFT COFFEE.

Once you taste these macaroons you will always end up enjoying these more than any other macaron.

I didn't purchase any other macaroons as I wanted to taste a variety of bread but I will most definitely eat the macaroons the next time I visit LUFT COFFEE.

There was a huge variety of desserts available. I think I contemplated for more than 5 minutes in choosing which dessert menu to purchase   

After a happy amount of contemplation, the Editor ordered Latte, Milk Tea, and 2 Ham and Sausage Croissants, 1 Butter Scone, 1 Lemon Weekend, and 1 Almond Croissant to eat as a meal.

The place where you can see the 'HAWAII TO SEOUL' is the photo zone. Seeing the bread and drinks is fluttering  

Milk Tea (7,900 KRW) If you order it with ice they give you a separate cup of ice so you can enjoy it cold. The subtle tea scent is very appealing and it wasn't too sweet making it a good combination to eat with bread.

Cafe Latte (7,700 KRW) They drew a pretty heart on it. The milk foam and coffee were a nice combination and so I felt good drinking it.

The editor visited LUFT before and ordered an Americano (6,900 KRW). LUFT Americano has a soft acidity at first with a fresh aroma! With a very clean aftertaste. If you order a sweet dessert it should be a very good combination.

The very first bread I tasted was the Ham Cheese Croissant (6,500 KRW). The crisp croissant and the rolled ham and cheese inside along with a sweet sauce made it very enjoyable.

If you decide to visit LUFT for brunch I think the Ham Cheese Croissant and Latte combination will be very good.

The Ham Cheese Croissant and the Sausage Croissant were both delicious but the Sausage Croissant was more the editor's style!

Almond Croissant is covered with almond dough and sugar powder. It was more savory and sweet compared to a normal croissant that it made it pair well with not only the latte but also the Milk Tea.

Lemon Weekend (4,800 KRW) was very moist with the slight scent of lemon making it very enjoyable as a dessert. It wasn't overly sweet making it enjoyable to anyone who decides to give it a try. I recommend this if anyone is looking for a sweet dessert to eat with an Americano.

LUFT COFFEE has two locations in Korea (Myeongdong and Gwanghwamun). After enjoying the Myeongdong location so much the editor also went to the location in Gwanghwamun a few days later.
