We were near the end of the 42+km ride today and we had departed the rivers we had been following and moved to the back streets of Inchon winding our way to the train station. Suddenly there it was – a coffee shop and a fancier place on the corner of the intersection we were passing through – so of course Kym stopped.

Once we had parked our bikes (as. Lose as possible to the building) opening the door – the smell of better permeating the place was heaven. Kym then used google translate to read the labels and we choose something each and a drink. It was completely perfect. The presentation of the drinks and food.. was delightful. This is it we had reached the perfect South Korean afternoon coffee/drink experience.

Some time ago I had discovered a show on Netflix called “would you like a cup of coffee?” about a young South Korean man who changes his life course after having a amazing cup of coffee, and learns about making coffee – but also customer service. Not sure what streaming service it’s on, but we do recommend watching the show.

This reminded me of that show (including the background music). The shop owner even invited us to have more water with the lemonade to reduce the sweetness, and gave us an extra biscuit – ah. Perfect. This reminds us of the beauty of cycling back streets, and why it’s important to always explore and never just stick to the main route – you never know what you will find.

…and if you are ever Inchon look for a shop called Millo.
