5 Olympic-ro 62-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul

Monument Coffee is a casual hangout café for locals located across from Cheonho-dong. This cafe is on one side of the first floor of the building, and although it is small, with only three or four tables, many regulars visit this place often due to the taste of coffee, baked snacks, and desserts. The signature menu here is the real vanilla bean latte. The unique, savory flavor comes to life thanks to the generous use of vanilla beans. This signature menu is limited and only offered while ingredients last on a daily basis, so visitors are advised to visit early. Baked snacks and desserts that go well with coffee are also available, including financiers, madeleines, churros, and apple pies.

◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charm - "Vincenzo"
It is a coffee shop in the former factory building. It doesn't look that big from the outside, but when you step inside, the high ceilings and wide space give you an unexpected charm. With a total of three floors, each floor is decorated in a different atmosphere with plants and paintings, so you can get various SNS proof shots. The place where Vincenzo (Song Joongki) and Hong Chayoung (Jeon Yeobeen) drank Espresso and Iced Americano was the outdoor terrace on the first floor, and the terrace on the third floor can be seen at a glance.
