Up on the second floor of a building on Euljiro's main road sits an old-style dabang, or tea room. The furniture and props are left as they were, and the place is said to have run for over forty years. The menu is traditional teas like ssanghwa, jujube and ginseng, plus iced coffee and juices. It has appeared on Korean TV. It opens at 6am Monday to Saturday, which suits an early start.
