travel unchecked; a glimpse into the heart of Korea

An online magazine based in Seoul. Delivering content on the latest in travel and lifestyle in Korea.

Over recent years, Korea’s food landscape has be

Over recent years, Korea’s food landscape has been changing to include more international cuisines.

Walk down the streets of Itaewon and you’ll find places serving American barbeque, Indian curries, Italian pastas, and more.

However – although the food landscape has been changing, there are still missing pieces.

In the early 2000s, then-teacher Eugene Kim noticed that there was still something important missing from Korea’s international food scene.

A gap to be filled.

A triangular-shaped one.

"I hope that our customers feel comfortable chatting with the baristas and find the place friendly. I also want them to find coffee to be much easier than they expected it to be. We're coffee experts, so people should feel comfortable to ask us anything about coffee." - Stella Kim, FOH Manager (Showroom Manager)

At a time when they didn't have much money, the owners of Camouflage would buy clothes, to later return them. Among these articles of clothing, the most memorable was a camouflage-patterned shirt.

"I named the cafe 'Camouflage' because it was the shirt with a camouflage pattern that stood out the most among the clothes we wore back then." - @camouflageswimminginthedarksea

The soothing sound of the rain provides a comforting backdrop on a chilly morning like today. A small lamp sheds its golden glow. A cup of perfectly brewed coffee warms my hands. And a delightful cheesecake sits mere inches away. The rain picks up. The drumming of the droplets against the window becomes more prominent. A rhythm of comfort. This. This is the perfect way to start the day.

"Despite the past coffee regulations, we were inspired by the affectionate hearts of the people who secretly hid and enjoyed coffee.

In the past, it was the role of a coffee sniffer to detect and control coffee. But, in the present, we want to be a Koffee Sniffer that
delivers good coffee to those who love it." [ @koffee.sniffer ]

At Koffee Sniffer, there is no divide between barista and customer.

Coffee bridges that gap.

And conversations flow naturally.

"There’s a range of different things [that make up cup quality]. It started out just being the technical cup quality perspective, but as we’ve grown, we’ve discovered that there are other important factors."

We spoke with Jason Scheltus, director at @marketlane for our latest article. He introduced us to Market Lane and shared with us some of his insights on coffee.
