CAFE SAAMANN COFFE ROSTERS
2-2, Seongbuk-ro 6-gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul
Tucked away in a quiet alley of Seongbuk-dong is Sa Mann Coffee Roasters, a roastery café that reflects a deep and refined sense of taste. Formerly known as "Named Espresso", the café has since rebranded to SAAMANN Coffee Roasters, continuing its commitment to offering rich and flavorful specialty coffee. The name “私滿 (SAAMANN)” carries the meanings of both “personal” and “full.” It embodies the café’s heartfelt desire for each visitor to leave with a heart filled—with specialty coffee, music, and their own deeply personal experiences.
Though not spacious, the café exudes a sense of warmth and coziness, filled with the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans and the refined vibe of jazz music. Its interior—an organic blend of natural wood, concrete, and fabric—feels like stepping into someone’s thoughtfully curated hideaway or a calm, personal library.
Beyond a spatial experience, SAAMANN Coffee Roasters offers a distinctive musical journey through its signature event, JAZZ DAY. Every Friday and Sunday, the café fills with the warm, vibrant sounds of carefully selected jazz vinyl records played through an ATC sound system, transforming the space into a living, breathing jazz lounge. True to the meaning behind the name “私滿 (SAAMANN)”—“personal” and “full”—the café invites visitors to immerse themselves fully in the aroma and flavor of coffee, while reconnecting with themselves in a uniquely curated atmosphere. Just as music is thoughtfully selected each day, Sa Mann roasts over 20 types of green beans in-house and introduces a new lineup every month, offering the joy of discovering beans available only for a limited time. All roasting is done in small batches, carefully highlighting the unique characteristics of each bean to deliver a higher-quality drip coffee experience.
At SAAMANN Coffee Roasters, even a single cup of latte comes with a range of customizable options—from the choice of beans and brewing method to the type of milk—allowing each guest to tailor their drink to their personal taste. Each cup, thoughtfully crafted, becomes a reflection of the beautiful diversity of individual preferences.
A deep understanding of coffee, a dedication to quality, and a commitment to originality that’s hard to come by—these are the reasons why countless coffee lovers return to SAAMANN Coffee Roasters. Here, a single cup of coffee, a well-chosen piece of music, and the gathering of people who share a love for coffee create more than just a café. Sa Mann Coffee Roasters is a special space where experience and personal taste come together in the most natural and meaningful way.
