I've been eyeing Cafe Gureum since I arrived in Korea. On Subway Line 4, from Beomgye to Seoul, as we cross over the Han River the view is amazing and this cafe sits atop the highway taking it all. An ideal place to sip a cup o' joe, I ventured there with a friend last week. The Friday night view offered sweet sights of the river, Namsan (Seoul's mountain) and Namsan Tower, evening rush hour, and subway trains zooming across the bridge.
Let me recommend the chicken salad and tomato seafood spaghetti dish. After dinner we relaxed in the atmosphere with a costly brew, but really, we don't go here for the coffee, we go for the view. Arrive there before 8 o'clock, which is when things got hopping and all the sweet window seats were taken! Take Line 4 to Dongjak Station. Exit number one, and go up the stairs. Cross the bridge till you see the elevator that takes you up to the cafe. I also advise making your potty stop before arrival because the nearest toilet is 500 meters away, in a park below the bridge that lines the river. Enjoy the view! ^^
