Nestled in the heart of the industrial district, conveniently located near Sindorim and Mullae stations, Café Mokki (Mullae, Seoul) stands out with its red brick exterior, large windows, and a sleek, modern facade.

The café’s name, Mokki, carries dual meanings, wooden bowl in Japanese and cottage or villa in Finnish.

Recently opened, the space is pristine, boasting high ceilings and an abundance of natural light streaming through the expansive windows. True to their philosophy, "the beginning of comfort and relaxation," Mokki aims to offer a tranquil retreat for its visitors.

Upon entering, your eyes are immediately drawn to the massive light fixture and an equally grand communal table that occupies nearly 70% of the space. The cohesive blend of black and wood tones creates a calm, minimalist ambiance that is both soothing and stylish.

For those with a sweet tooth, their cannelés (available in vanilla and matcha) and milk cream roll topped with seasonal fruits are must-tries.

During the summer, they also serve bingsu (Korean shaved ice with red beans) a refreshing treat for hot days.

Mokki offers both filter coffee and espresso-based drinks, with a selection of three to four distinct beans for filter brews.

The interior design is a harmonious mix of exposed concrete, polished wood, and immaculately crafted wooden furniture, resulting in a visually stunning yet warm environment. The aesthetic is effortlessly cool, striking the perfect balance between industrial and cozy.

 

Filter Coffee (Yirgacheffe)  7,000 won

After browsing the café for a bit, our filter coffee and pure milk cream roll were ready.

I opted for one of my all-time favorite coffees Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. With its delicate floral and fruity notes, it's a light yet flavorful coffee.

 

Milk Cream Roll (with Seasonal fruit)  6,500 won

As for the Milk Cream Roll, the texture was intriguing, it seemed like it might cling to the roof of my mouth, yet the incredibly light and airy cream inside melted beautifully, perfectly complemented by the juicy peach on top.

It paired wonderfully with the coffee, creating a delightful balance of flavors.

One of the highlights of Café Mokki is the incredible natural light pouring in through its massive windows.

Seated by the window, I felt transported to another world, separated from the noise and dust of the bustling city outside. The door and glass acted as a barrier, offering a serene retreat from the chaos of urban life.

Just as Mokki promises, it truly felt like the beginning of comfort and relaxation.
