first impression was expensive. but affordable. they focus the taste of coffee so much(no many places are care of it). also concept of shop is special. if you are catholic, you will love it. but sametime some ppl feel uncomfortable of this vibe. I like there concepts also They make the seat for music-listeners. usually they put on classic music. when your mind is so busy and can not control your self. please come here, seat and listen the music. it will help your mind stopping. the place give you nice experience.

Exploring this area and found this cool cafe! Once you stepped in, you thought is a church setting (facing the coffee making counter) as some of the seats were setup this way... very interesting! There were also small round tables at the side. Tried their iced expresso and iced expresso with orange using the unspecialty blend - dragon eye kombucha.. Interesting & BEST flavor! They also sell capsules for home use. This is also a pet friendly place. Must try if you are nearby.

A coffee shop with a relaxed atmosphere. good coffee. A cafe that draws the heart with a special interior that gives the atmosphere of a cathedral or an old church. Fantastic as a local cafe.

The brainchild of Cho Yongmin, the YM Coffee Project is comprised of three different venues, (1) YM Coffee Project, (2) YM Espresso Room and (3) YM Roasting Factory (under construction). Both café spaces (1) and (2) are very unique in character and leave an equally deep impression on the customer. The former has been running now for over 5 years while their most recent venture, the Espresso Room opened in the midst of Covid-19 during the summer of 2020. Aside from running two cafes YM Coffee Project roasts coffee beans for wholesale, runs barista training courses and cafe consultant services. Coffee enthusiasts are welcome to join their coffee bean subscription service or pay for YM’s “Home Café Classes” where each participant can take a crash course in how to brew their own pour over coffee. YM Espresso Room is located at the end of Line 3, near Gupabal, but the interior tells a very different story. Inspired by European cathedrals while working in London and Budapest, Cho Yongmin has brought tranquillity to this suburban apartment complex. Lit by candles in the evening, this is a truly unique setting for an espresso. Atop the altar sits their prized La Marzocco 2 Group Linea PB Espresso machine, supported by Mazzer, Victoria Arduino and Anfim grinders. Lastly, YM Coffee Project was recently awarded a Blue Ribbon for 2021, the highest recognition by the equivalent of Korea's Michelin Guide, the Blue Ribbon Survey (since 2015).
