Firstly, sorry that I didn't get the name of this place.
If you go to Hyehwa station, exit 2 and walk down the hill so that Seoul university is on your right. Keep going down, past the uni on your left and take the first left after the school. It is about 50 yards down that road on the right. Anyway.....

We walked in and they guy running the show was one of the coolest dudes I've ever seen: he looked like the Korean John Lennon circa 1975. He was well pleased to serve some englishes, which is why the service score is so high.
We ordered teas as the english should. There was no other customers, so he told us to sit down.
The place is tiny, with 3 floors, all held together with an open staircase. The walls are painted yellow and a huge window spans the height of the building so you can overlook the school. We sat at a table looking out. There is a tiny library and a nice collection of coffee machines.
He brought up our tea beautifully displayed in a glass teapot kinda thing. However, he didn't offer milk, which is where our drink rating fell down.
Also, there was no music on which was a shame. The general atmosphere of the place was cosy, friendly and great place to hang around and drink coffee at. The lack of music didn't really spoil the general feel of the place but I'm sure some music would have been good.

Sorry we couldn't remember the name! When I go back, I'll find out
