According to HLB Food & Beverage, Caferento 1975 The River Branch takes advantage of its prime location, offering guests a space to enjoy coffee, bakery items, and desserts while taking in sweeping views of the Han River up close.

The interior features large windows and open seating facing the river, along with an outdoor terrace, allowing guests to enjoy the riverside ambiance from both indoors and outdoors.

In particular, The River Branch will present changing sceneries throughout the day under the concept "Slow Moments by the River"—from the sunlit sparkling water during the day, to sunsets in the evening, and the night views of the Han River and Seoul. These will be showcased through the café’s design and a variety of content.

The menu also introduces unique offerings exclusive to The River Branch. Highlights include "Rento Bread & Chodang Corn Seasonal Butter," which reinterprets the signature bread of Korean-French dining "Le Da" in Caferento’s style, as well as offerings such as crumble tiramisu and Basque cheesecake, among a diverse selection of bakery and desserts.

The beverage menu reflects the unique characteristics of the location. Signature drinks such as "The River Café Latte," "The River Iced Vienna," and "The River Blue Latte," which uses blue spirulina to capture the river’s color tones, are offered. Additionally, seasonal drinks like grapefruit sorbet soda and blue lemon sorbet soda complement the summery scenery of the Han River.

A representative from HLB Food & Beverage said, "The River Branch is a space that embodies the changing scenery and flow of time on the Han River in Caferento 1975’s own way. Beyond simply enjoying coffee and desserts, we aim to provide a space where guests can relax and spend time while gazing out at the river. We will continue to offer a variety of menus and content to fulfill that vision."
