This Seongsu-dong branch is the first Blue Bottle Coffee in South Korea and also the second country in Asia where Blue Bottle Coffee has established a café, entering the market by setting up a subsidiary, Blue Bottle Coffee Korea Ltd.

The interior design follows Blue Bottle Coffee’s signature minimalist and high-quality aesthetic.
Blue Bottle Coffee’s first Korean branch is located in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, an area that was once an industrial zone. In recent years, many designers and artists have transformed abandoned warehouses into art spaces, turning it into an alternative cultural hub with a growing number of restaurants, galleries, and startups moving in.

The exterior features simple red brick walls paired with large windows, allowing plenty of natural light.
Blue Bottle Coffee’s Seongsu-dong No. 1 Store officially opened on May 3rd, and due to positive feedback, a second store is expected to open in Samcheong-dong.

The interior is tastefully designed and highly photogenic.
In January, Blue Bottle Coffee launched a limited-time pop-up gift shop in Taipei’s Breeze Xinyi, operating for six months. Whether Taiwan will become the third Asian location for Blue Bottle Coffee remains something to watch.
