P2 Café

Small portions of coffee, you can pay a few dongs more and get a decent coffee at Starbucks or at Dep at the center of the city. The coffee is served very hot and the plastic won't allow you to even touch it when served. Also these bad boys on the pic seem to be the only soft furniture here if no pillow is set to this wooden back - your back will suffer. This place isn't suitable for work, it's aiming to get rid of you asap, you can see it by the furniture and the staff that doesn't speak English.

I wanted to visit this place for weeks because it looked really nice and cozy from outside every time I passed by. And when I finally got to visit it, I was very disappointed. The staff weren’t enthusiastic at all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not expecting anything extraordinary when communicating with the staff, but I’d like at least some decent attention. In my situation, the staff acted like they didn’t care about their customers one bit. The coffee that I ordered (cream latte) was extremely hot, so I burned my mouth and had to wait for a good 20 minutes to be able to drink my coffee. We weren’t even given a glass of water (which is usually a completely ordinary thing in other coffee shops). Another disappointment was the atmosphere. It wasn’t as cozy as I had thought it would be. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable. It literally hurt to sit on it — and we’ve tried several different spots! Initially me and my husband wanted to sit outside to admire the view, but the seats outside were cold and had really hard surfaces, so it was impossible to sit there for more than 5 minutes.

This is my third visit since they opened, and unfortunately, I haven’t seen much progress. While the staff are polite and welcoming, their lack of basic English skills makes it challenging for non-local customers to communicate, which is surprising for a coffee shop aiming to attract diverse clientele. The coffee is served only in takeaway cups, which diminishes the premium feel of the experience. Moreover, all cups are the same size—small coffees are served in oversized cups, leading to poor presentation. The coffee itself is underwhelming; it lacks any distinct blend or specialty flavor, which is disappointing. The menu seems designed primarily for local or Korean customers, with fewer options catering to Western tastes. For instance, the “Latte Creamy” priced at 59k for a small size is overly sweet, with sugar and chocolate added, resembling a mocha—none of which is explained on the menu. The décor has potential, but the space lacks coziness and ambiance, making it less inviting for regulars. Overall, this coffee shop feels more suited for occasional tourists rather than loyal, repeat customers. There’s significant room for improvement in all aspects, but it seems the management isn’t prioritizing growth or addressing these shortcomings.

Classy place but high prices geared for international tourists. Hot Coffee is served in paper cups and cold drinks in plastic cups. I prefer the privately owned, small coffee shops that serve their coffee in porcelain/china for more reasonable prices.
