Front Seoul
Cafes & bakeries · Sinsa
Chocolate-coated espresso turns coffee into a playful dessert here, with bitter coffee, thick chocolate and nuts in the same cup. Arched windows, high ceilings and upstairs sofas make Front a distinctive place to pause for conversation after browsing Sinsa's shops.

Why visit
- Front Seoul is worth considering for a dramatic cafe interior and drinks that double as dessert. A recent visitor’s chocolate-coated espresso offers a concrete starting point, while the spacious upper-floor seating described in another account suits a longer conversation after shopping around Sinsa.Trip.com+1
Choose a drink or dessert
- In a Trip.com report published on 23 October 2026, 날아라코기 ordered Chocolate Espresso and a blueberry-scented Signature Ade, a fruit drink. The espresso came with thick chocolate around the cup and nuts: the reviewer enjoyed the bitter coffee against the sweetness, but noted that it left chocolate around the mouth. Choose it if you want a playful, messy coffee experience.Trip.com
- The same visitor saw Basque Cheesecake and Banana Pudding Cake at the bakery counter. They had not tried the banana cake and wanted to return for it; check the day’s display if you would like a slice with your drink.Trip.com
Pick the setting
- The October writer describes white flowers at arched windows, high ceilings, brick flooring and a fountain ornament. They found more seating upstairs and a quiet third floor during the day, used as a bar in the evening.Trip.com
- A 4 February 2025 blog report contrasts wooden seating downstairs with sofas upstairs, and liked the space between tables for conversation. The writer considered prices relatively high but felt the coffee and atmosphere justified them. Reports disagree on whether the basement gallery was open, so choose this stop for the cafe rather than counting on an exhibition.Tistory+1
