Kaffe- Paengseong South Korea

Today I ventured out in Paengseong, South Korea and tried a place that others have been saying was good coffee and cheaper than most. So, I set out to taste for myself.

I was the only person when I entered as the owner was out front smoking. He rushed in and started helping me out. He saw I was not a Korean, and slid a piece of paper that had English words on the menu. It also had prices which helped!
I ordered my standard Green Tea Latte. It was a great drink, not grainy as some are.  I have heard the Americano's are wonderful as well. Next time I will try a cappuccino and add it to this post. OR I will go with someone who will have one and will photo what they got!

The cafe has lots of room, and a spot for big groups!

Directions:
out the main gate, turn right at the post office, (across from Not a Fan Pork Cutlet)
travel maybe 1 block, it will be on the left, tucked back under some apartments.

Enjoy!

Another readers review:

This cafe is straight out the drive thru gate, turn right at the light where the Korean post office and "I'm your fan" is located. At the first real road about a block down, turn LEFT. I have had an americano there. It is hard to mess them up  My kids ordered an ice cream dish to share that had fruit on it. The dessert was very tasty and cost 3,500 won. Two family members ordered Bubble Tea but they were NOT impressed. I was happy to find a neat option for coffee locally, but I doubt I will go back. The park across the street makes for a neat place to hang out with the kids. There is a C+U practically next door where you can buy inexpensive ice creams for the kids while you enjoy a coffee.The seating in this cafe is terrific. There is even a HUGE U shaped booth for groups. The menu is totally in Korean and the staff speaks very little English. They do serve food meals at this place, but I did not try any of it

Time to play catch up!

I have not forgotten the blog, just have been busy! So I am adding more tonight!
There are many new places! I can't wait to share my experiences with you!

Enjoy the musings this coffee fan! I still don't drink caffeine which still makes happy! I did stock up on decaf coffee while in the states!

why I stopped Caffeine

Yes, I gave up Coffee. Well caffeinated coffee that is. Why you ask? Well at first it was a miscommunication from the doc but then I realised I had needed to stop it for a long time. So I went cold turkey.  Second, I was super anxious and my muscles and body was in stress overload. I knew this couldn't hurt at least. My muscles were super tight and had a stress herpes thing happening. I knew it was time for a change. Also I didn't want to be dependent on anything but the Lord.  The only bummer is I really enjoy the taste of it. So I will at some point give myself grace and have a taste once in a while, but the benefits far out way my love for the taste.  As I am also a Diabetic, it has done amazing things to help my blood sugar numbers. Stress and diabetes not a good thing. Since my body was in a state of stress overload, it effects everything about my system. I am so glad that I have stopped coffee.

But, I still enjoy my coffee houses. I realised there are so many other things on the menu too!
This means I will still review coffee houses around Korea...

Pioneer woman's iced coffee (easy cold brew method)

So here is the link to Ree Drummond's, The pioneer woman, iced coffee brew. This is similar to Dutch coffee brew. A dutch coffee brew comes with a fancy glass pitcher and brew system. I might have to try Ree's method too. Enjoy the link. Drink coffee and discuss who is God to you with a friend.

As always I am here trying new methods, and adventuring to new places. I am up for partners in crime in this endeavour come and join me.

Happy Coffeeing.

TeaTalk

We left for an adventure to seek out this teahouse. It was not a tea house, but rather a coffee house. It did have some tea, but mostly coffee drinks. The atmosphere was pretty nice, although the smoking room was bigger than the regular room.  We sat in the window, on the floor with amazing cushions under our bums.

I ordered a Ice Cappuccino (surprise surprise) 

and Megan ordered a Vanilla Latte. 

Both were amazing, and after he brought the drinks, he brought us this amazing bread. So good, and it comes with a homemade whipped cream to dip in.

Directions: 

take the ring finger road with your right hand when you face away from AK plaza. You will make a left  at the first street and follow that until you see TeaTalk. Its on the 2nd floor.

Basically its on the road that connects the middle finger road and the ring finger road.

Rating: 

8 out of 10 coffee beans.

I would recommend it, as a place to try.
