Tellers 9.5 is a rooftop cafe by day and a bar by night on the 19th floor of Hotel Anteroom Seoul, a short walk from Sinsa Station and Garosu-gil. The reason to go is the view: floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass-railed terrace looking north over the Han River.
I had a business meeting nearby on Thursday 12 November and, since I had been here before, brought my colleagues up after lunch for coffee. This guide covers how to find it, the hours (including a new Monday closure), the full menu with prices, and what it is like on a weekday afternoon.

Finding it: the 19th floor of Hotel Anteroom
Hotel Anteroom Seoul is the dark glass tower on Dosan-daero. A "19F Tellers 9.5 Rooftop Cafe & Bar" banner stands by the ground-floor entrance; take the lift to 19.
The door on 19 is closed and looks private. Press the button beside it and it opens. The lift lobby has a currency exchange kiosk, handy if you need won.
Hours, and the Monday closure
From the board at the door: Sunday to Thursday 09:00 to 22:30, Friday and Saturday 09:00 to 24:30. Cafe drinks are served until 18:00; last orders for the bar are 21:30, or 23:30 on Friday and Saturday. A notice at the entrance says that from November it is closed every Monday for the time being, so check before a Monday visit.

The view
The whole north side is glass, so you look straight out over the Han River and the city on the far bank, with N Seoul Tower on Namsan to the left. On the terrace the railing is glass too, so nothing gets in the way. I have been more than once, and the view is still the best thing about it.
At lunchtime on a weekday it was close to empty. The cafes around Sinsa were packed with office workers finishing lunch; up here we could pick any window table and talk without raising our voices.
Inside
Away from the windows it is wood shelving, a long bar, magazines on the shelves, a big projector screen and a mix of tables and bar stools. A few people were working on laptops.
Menu and prices
From the menu board (prices in won). Decaf is 500 won extra, and the rule is one drink per person.
- Coffee: espresso 6,500; americano 8,000; cafe latte, flat white, vanilla latte 8,500; cinnamon sugar cappuccino (hot) 8,500; yuzu einspanner (iced) 9,000; almond cream coffee (iced) and pepper cream latte 9,500
- Tea: chamomile medley, crimson hibiscus, peppermint rooibos, Earl Grey 9,000; yuzu apple tea, Ritchi chamomile tea, tropical crimson (iced) 9,000; handmade lemon tea and apple cinnamon tea (hot) 9,000
- Non-coffee and ades: orange juice 8,000; Valrhona chocolate latte, toffee nut cream latte 9,000; strawberry latte (iced), matcha latte 9,500; purple lemon, purple apple, yuzu mint ade 9,000

- Food: English muffin, ham and cheese sandwich, green onion and bacon cream cheese donut 6,000
It is not cheap: 8,000 won for an americano is well above a neighbourhood cafe. What you are paying for is the view and a quiet table.
We only had coffee, so I have not tried the desserts. The chestnut tiramisu is marked with a heart on the menu, so it is probably the one to try.
What we had
Two iced americanos. A solid after-lunch coffee, drunk at a round table by the window.
In the evening
After 18:00 it switches to the bar menu. This autumn there is a promotion: buffalo wings and drumettes with three bottled beers (choose from Asahi, Heineken, Guinness and Big Wave Golden Ale) for 55,000 won instead of 70,000, and after one alcoholic drink per person, further glasses of wine, beer or cocktails are half price. It cannot be combined with other offers. I have only been in the daytime; the evening view is next on my list.
