The area on the side of Naebang subway station used to be a no man's land that sat around the edges of a cooler and hipper Bangbae-dong. But this sister neighborhood is definitely on the rise and our eyes are on it.

How do we know?

You know when you see a coffee shop with no signage attracting a constant flow of customers, many of them lining up to order hot or cold Einspanner, a Viennese coffee with a decadent serving of chilled, heavy whipped cream.

A good Eispanner has distinct layers of espresso and cream. And must be served immediately for a wonderful contrast of the still hot espresso and cold cream.

The Einspanner at Teyang Coffee is the best I've ever had. And that includes an experience at a Michelin-starred Austrian restaurant.

Save this card and enjoy an up-and-coming neighborhood in Seoul.
