Dorae Knot

See all coffee shops in Seoul

"When you visit Seoul, you must go to Dorae Knot" was the advice we got from one of our most trusted sources in specialty coffee. He was right. Admittedly, going all the way to Mangwon just for a coffee seemed excessive in the beginning. We ended up returning to Dorae Knot multiple times. It is that good. Ryan is running one of the most impressive specialty coffee places in Korea, if not in East Asia, especially considering the size of the space and the team. The scope and depth of the menu are fantastic. Every cup of every order we had was prepared perfectly. Furthermore, service is impeccable. No matter whether you are new to the specialty coffee scene or already a professional, the team creates an atmosphere that makes it comfortable to ask questions and learn. Therefore: When you visit Seoul, you must go to Dorae Knot.
