This is currently my favorite cafe in Seoul. Why? Because it is simply dialed! The coffee selections, the roast, and the brews are all working in harmony with the space.
Best of all, it was so fun watching the barista O at work, It didn't matter if it was a hand brew/slow pour or someone popping in quickly for an iced americano to go. I could clearly see that they were giving an equal level of care (and QC) to every drink they sent out. Everyone gets to feel taken care of, and that is definitely not an easy thing to accomplish.
Even without all the outside/service stuff, the coffee itself is so nice and they clearly put lots of work into it too. Their brew systems are very much aligned with my understanding of the current meta and personal preferences, and the result is that you can enjoy the cup's evolution from first to last sip.
Next time I'm in town, I will be back, and I'll want to explore Clarimento even more. Thank you for the hospitality and delicious coffees!
