The Yeonnam location is the original shop where Coffee Libre's journey began. Despite its growth, this branch maintains a cozy, neighborhood cafe feel. The cafe is small with limited seating, so visiting during off-peak hours (early afternoons on weekdays) is recommended. The baristas are knowledgeable and happy to recommend coffees based on your preferences. Pair your visit with a walk through the charming Yeonnam-dong area, known for its artistic vibe and independent shops.
