Introduction and Location
Today, I bring you a review of a hidden gem cafe in Hapjeong called 'Mercy Coffee (MERCY)' that immediately impressed me upon discovery.

📍 1. Location and How to Find It (Exterior)
Address: 32-10, Yanghwa-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (Hapjeong-dong)
How to get there: It is located in an alley not far on foot from Hapjeong Station.
Walking along the quiet residential alley, you will notice the large glowing 'MERCY' neon sign behind lush green vines. The grand stone pillar gate gives the exciting feeling of being invited into a quiet mansion. It looks sophisticated during the day but becomes even more charming and stylish with the lights on at night.
Atmosphere and Interior
✨ 2. Atmosphere (Day and Night Contrast)
Mercy Coffee is a space creatively renovated from an existing two-story house. Each area exudes a different charm, making it a happy dilemma to choose where to sit.
Outdoor yard & terrace seats: With fresh trees and large parasols harmonizing, it feels like a resort in the city. Sitting on the terrace on a cool evening, gazing at the lit-up lights, you can't help but get intoxicated by the atmosphere.
Cozy indoor second-floor space: Inside, warm wood-toned stairs and ceiling add to the coziness. Colorful and unique curtains by the window mix perfectly with modern lighting, making it ideal for Instagram-worthy photos. Overall, the subtle lighting and moderate quietness make it a great atmosphere for conversation.
Menu and Pricing
🍰 3. Menu and Price Range
Americano / Signature coffees: around 5,000 to 6,000 KRW
Desserts (tarts, eclairs, etc.): around 7,000 to 8,000 KRW
While the coffee is excellent, the desserts impress with their visuals. The eclair I ordered had a crisp and soft pastry filled fully with smooth cream, topped generously with fresh blueberries and slightly bitter cocoa powder, tasting as great as it looked.
The price is not excessively high compared to Hapjeong standards, and the quality and plating of desserts are so luxurious that it feels worth every won.
