As a person who lived in Brazil and miss everything that smells like Brazil, here is a good place to solve my nostalgia. And setting aside personal experience, for sure, coffee, dessert and bread were so good! + Great atmosphere too!

매장이 매우 넓고 좌석 간 간격도 넓어서 좋았어요! 커피 가격도 나쁘지 않고 색다른 분위기도 좋았습니다~ 불멍할 수 있게 영상 틀어주신 것도 센스있었어요ㅎㅎ

종로 한 복판에 이렇게 큰 규모의 카페를 만들었다는 것이 놀라울 정도로 넓은 매장과 개성있는 인테리어에 트랜디한 베이커리와 커피를 보유한 매우 인상적인 카페입니다. - 연남동,연희동은 주택을 기반한 카페 - 문래동, 성수동은 공장을 개조하여 만든 카페 - 익선동은 한옥을 개조한 카페가 대세라면, 꼬르꼬바두는 을지로와 같이 오래된 상가나 사무실 건물을 활용하여 인테리어를 하였는데 을지로가 소규모의 사무실을 개성있게 꾸민 반면, 꼬르꼬바두는 실내와 실외로 큰 규모의 공간을 최대한 기존의 공간을 살리면서 라탄을 사용한 집기로 꾸며 남미나 동남아 같은 느낌을 내어 주는 점이 다른 유명 카페와 대비하여 경쟁력을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각합니다. 익선동이나 을지로의 올망졸망한 카페에 싫증이 나신 분들, 주말에 시내에 마땅한 카페가 없다고 생각하시는 분들은 꼭 한 번 방문해 보실 만한 카페라고 생각합니다.

Exotic atmosphere. Huge. 3 sitting areas. There is a powder room for make up. Nice deco. Drinks delicious. Only bad point is, why close so early at 8pm? Second floor and extended area close at 7pm. It doesn't have English menu, but fortunately google translate can do an auto translate in a snap Located and hidden behind Dana Hotel.

A legitimate coffee place at an unlikely place in the middle of urban redevelopment. The seating space is unbelievably huge and the outdoor terrace is also very lovely.

종로한복판에 이렇게 큰 카페가 있을수있다는 점이 놀라운곳 밖에서보면 여기 카페가있다고(?) 싶지만 매우 넓다. 들어가면 테이블도많은데 숨겨진 공간을 찾은 기분도 든다. 커피도 많고 디저트류도많다. 솔직히 커피맛기대안했는데 맛있다. 단순히 넓기만한게아니라 퀄리티도 보장되는곳. 직원분들도 친절하고 열정적.

Super cute chic cafe shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff speak English, and the menu offers a variety of options. I really enjoyed my drinks. Highly recommend if you want to hang out with friends or just get some work done.
