Just one block away from the glitz and glamour of COEX and the skyscrapers of Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, there is a space in a quiet residential alley that serves as a daily retreat for locals and office workers. This is Order Espresso & Bakery.

Rather than flashy appearances, this hotspot is chosen as a 'favorite neighborhood cafe' for its focus on fundamental flavors and comfort. Within its clean and warm wood-toned interior, it gently guides everyone to easily and colorfully experience the charm of specialty coffee and excellent baked goods freshly made every morning without any burden.






šŸ“ Location & How to Get There

  • Located on the 1st floor and B1 floor at 27 Bongeunsa-ro 82-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It offers great accessibility, being about a 5-minute walk from Samseong Jungang Station Exit 5Ā (Line 9), and is also close to Bongeunsa Station. Once you leave the bustling main roads and enter the quiet alley, its chic yet warm wood-toned exterior will immediately catch your eye.




šŸ•’ Opening Hours

  • Monā€“Fri: 8:30 AM ā€“ 10:00 PM (22:00)

  • Satā€“Sun: 9:00 AM ā€“ 9:30 PM (21:30)

  • True to its location in an office district, its generous operating hours are a massive advantageā€”perfect for enjoying morning coffee and bread on your commute, or wrapping up your day late in the evening.



ā˜• Ambience & Menu Highlights

Order Espresso features a spacious and pleasant wood-toned spatial design across the 1st and B1 floors, setting a comfortable and calming mood wherever you sit.

  • Bakery Lineup: The absolute highlight here is the 'Salt Bread (Sogeum-ppang)'ā€”the epitome of crispy on the outside and chewy on the insideā€”and their soft, sweet 'Egg Tarts'. They also offer a diverse lineup including scones and sandwiches that make great meal replacements, satisfying both value and a special gourmet experience.

  • Signature Drinks: The 'Order Salt'Ā (maximizing the sweet and salty charm), the 'Order Cream Cheese'Ā (gently wrapped in a rich cream cheese flavor), and their clean iced teas that pair perfectly with the pastries boast flavors charming enough to make even coffee beginners fall completely in love.





šŸŒæ Why Visit

  • Proven Local Hotspot: A genuine neighborhood bakery so loved that locals and office workers constantly order from it via delivery apps.

  • Cozy Basement Space: With ample seating not just on the 1st floor but also in the basement, itā€™s the perfect place to work quietly or have comfortable conversations with friends.

  • Morning Bakery: You can start your day right with the smell of freshly baked bread and fragrant coffee early in the morning.

  • Tip: The highly popular salt bread and egg tarts can sell out by late afternoon or on weekends. Visiting during the day right when the bread comes out of the oven is an absolute must-do course here!





šŸš— Travel Tips

  • About a 5-minute walk from Samseong Jungang Station Exit 5.

  • If you are driving, parking is available in front of the store (for a few cars), making it relatively convenient to visit even in the Samseong-dong/COEX area, where parking is notoriously difficult.


Order Espresso & Bakery is a hideout-like space where you can comfortably drop by and find comfort anytime in the middle of the complex and flashy city. Taste the chewy salt bread and fragrant coffee in a warm space, and create delightful moments that will make you want to 'Order' every day.
