About the coffee: are they serving it before 11am? As an American in Seoul in 2018, I could certainly find coffee... but rarely early enough to assist with awakening. Even the Starbucks held off opening until 10 or so.
Also, pro tip: Use Naver, not Google Maps, to get around. It is an amazing search engine and well-optimized for English-language use. It's also much more helpful on the subway than any Google experience on any metro I've ever used.
Good point on Naver - that and Kakao are the truth. Yeah, 6am coffee is hard to find. 8am is less hard. The roasting is wonderful, and the cafe spaces are unexpected and extremely fresh.
Makes me want to return to Seoul.
