John 3:16

John 3:16 is a cute, fun, safe place to get a quick coffee or bubble tea on the go. They do have super nice staff, and the staff speak limited English.  I had a iced Coffee and it was average but still good. 

There are about 8 seats total in the place, but most folks usually get a drink and hop on the train or bus. 

We watched this place being built the last month or so, so it was fun to finally go in. 

Even though what I had wasn't earth shattering, I was so excited to support this place. I hope and pray its around for a while.

(see below what fellow readers thought of it)

Yes, they have the verse John 3:16 on the wall. AWESOME!!

Here is what readers of the blog thought of it. 

"I went to John316 in Seojeong-ri and it was all in Koran but good coffee! The smoothies are good too!"

"Love it!  Went to John316.  The verse is the only thing written in English.  The guys that work there are very friendly.  It's not very big, but a great place to pick up a drink for the bus ride back home."

If you face towards the station, look left, and you will see it. 

63rd Africa Coffee

BEST PLACE EVER!

63 Africa literally has the best iced cappuccino I have ever tasted. I have tasted a ton of cappuccino's but this is hands down the best. Why you ask?

First, the milk was frothed and so creamy ( creamier than I have ever tasted) it transported me instantly to my happy place. I hadn't even tasted the coffee yet, and I was already happy. 

Next came the coffee and ice. The beans had been roasted to the perfect spot. No burnt taste, no under roasted taste, it was just right. 

I really like strong coffee and this had the strong flavour without tearing my stomach apart. 

There was just enough ice in it to make it watered a bit but not too much. Also I was on a little date with my hubby that that makes it even better. 

Dan had a hot latte. He said it tasted like a normal one, nothing more or less. 

My wonder drink.

We had a friendly little face who loved to wave at us,

 and almost gave us a hug but her parents stopped her. 

The hubs drink

The decor was modern and comfortable. Very sleek but industrial.

Yes, we had to try the famous honey bread here too. 

Best one I have ever had. 

The counter, the folks were super nice. 

Loved the lighting.

Ok, final thoughts. 

You would be missing out on something amazing if you did not go to this place. Its a bit pricer than the others but not to outrageous.

Facing away form Pyeongtaek station travel put your right hand up and travel on the street that is your index finger. This is the same street as McDonalds (where you meet the 20 bus).

Across from McDonalds will be Baskin Robbins. Once you pass Baskin Robbins make a left. Take the first street on the right and you will see the shop on the left. 

Please send me you thoughts on this place, and I will publish that here too.

A PLACE TO NOT GO- transported to the past not in a good way

As you leave AK plaza literally right after you get off the escalator going down you will see on the right a big orange sign for a coffee shop. 

We decided to be adventurous. Let me just say the stairs going down was the best part of the place.

We walked in and it took us to the 50's diner feel only like a dirty diner. 

We decided to go in, (we were the only ones there- should have been a clue) and sit and see what would happen. The lady got up and gave us water. We decided to leave as we had no barring at all, and were in stunned mode basically of where we were. There was a huge stench of smoke and mold that made you wonder how long this place had been in existence. 

At least we were adventurous and tried something new. Now we know.

So I give this place 1 out of 10 coffee beans. 

If one of you have a different experience, I would love to here it.

TODAY I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE FRONT.

Cafe Noriter

What a lovely surprise to stumble upon this little gem of a place! 

I have been wanting to find this place since starting this coffee blog and presto, we found it. 

This place is clean, and geometric. Its a place where you can have private conversations, but also can see what is happening in the rest of the cafe. Comfortable conversation areas with pillows, and a soft rug. String curtains are what divides you from the rest of the place. 

The Batista's spoke limited English but the menu was all in Hangul. So, we looked at the menu posted on the wall and pointed under the frappuccino section. We ordered 1st 2nd and 3rd item under it.  

Loved going here for the atmosphere, the coffee was grand, and conversation even better. 

Love these ladies.

 This was the logo on the table.

First place to sit in.

10 out of 10 beans

Cafe Rumi take 2

To start this post off right, I have to say that I am so glad I went with two adventurous ladies. If I had not gone with them, things could have been different.  We went into Cafe Rubio, and had to take our shoes off.  That is a normal custom for Korea, actually all of asia. The shoes we had to put on were public shoes. Who knows who had been in there before, but we decided to just put them on. 

We were then escorted into a little booth upon which we climbed in. The lady yelled at us cause we still had our slippers on, (had to take them off at the entry point). 

This poor lady was trying so very hard to communicate with us, and us to her, but nothing. We finally got we had to come out to the front and serve ourselves. Which was fine, but there was no instruction and we just well, explored.  They had ice cream, various flavour's of lemonade, and coffee in a pot that had 1 cup in it, and was cold. Hm...

I did take the menu and point to waffle, and she made one for all of us and brought it to us. 

It cost 6,000 won per person just to be there, and you can choose anything to drink from there. 

They had coffee on the menu, but alas when I asked her about it, she said no. 

The decor was somewhat cute, but there were tares in the padding, and on the walls had spots where mirrors use to hang, and mold on the ceiling.  

I don't want to sound negative, cause there were some great things and if we spoke the language it might have been better. The person working spoke no English although she did have a translator on the computer and asked us to come and read it. That was really helpful.

Ok, overall, I would give Cafe Rubio 4 out of 10 coffee beans,

Shared experiences

Ok all you readers, where have you found?Restaurant or coffee house? Let's explore together and find things together. The whole goal of this place is the have 1 site that you can come to to find coffee houses/restaurants to your liking.

I will open up the comments, or you can send me suggestions and I will post them.

Jung Jin won (main store)

This shop was one of my favourites as its the mother ship of a previous post. They were so popular they opened a second one. YEAH! Spreading the coffee love!  I went with a lot of woman from Chapel and enjoyed some female fellowship. What a great time of getting to know one another. 

Lots of goodies and hearing stories. Again, I am blown away by how God works in all our lives. So excited to hear and see the wonderful character of God in each other. 

Review:  10 out of 10 coffee beans. 

Coffee is brewed on site, and if you order a specific country they will prepare drip coffee or siphon it at your table. 

They also have honey bread, fretzels, and a wide variety of other non coffee treats. 

There is a map of where the shop is. Enjoy! 

Iced cappuccino and an Afagado

Honey bread with home made whip cream

This is the roasting room. 

They have coffee to purchase as well.
