Coffee shop (in Hangul its something about coffee and games)

 Directions: 

 Take the escalator down to the back side of AK plaza. Its located on the 3rd floor above Paris Baguette.  As you walk up the stairs notice all the fun English translations in all the signs.  
It was a clean shop, with a great view if you are a people watcher.  

The lady who serves is super nice and doesn't speak any English, however the menu is in English. 
There is not much really to say about this place other than its a mom and pop shop (which I love) and has a great people watching view. 






Well this photo will be a head turn, but this is the front counter.



Here is the view from our seats.


Taro Bubble Tea


Americano


chamomile tea


Heres the Lady coming to help.





Sign says a place to play, (hence all the board games in the other photo)




Rating: 3 out of 6 Beans.

CAFE IN (New in Anjung-ri in the vile)

My lovely scouts help me out with tips about new coffee houses that pop up. So, I ventured here a new coffee house a few streets away from the Ville outside the gate.  When you walk you are faced with a concrete space, filled with warm brown furniture to ad warmth.  I know they all shop from Market, because I recognize the furniture from there. However I love shops that go a total different direction.

I do like how you get a pager for when you drink is done. Although its not very busy so its pointless at the moment but I like it regardless. They have a special laminated sheet at the counter by the register in English for us foreign folk.

 BE WARNED, While there, there was some really questionable activities with some of the customers. I didn't fully understand all that was happening, but it appeared to be a persons services being sold to another. It might have just been that time, but BE WARNED.

Directions: Straight out the walk in gate
turn left at the corner where there Sung mo Dental and the Pharmacy. Its also a street before the 3 and 8 market street. Walk up the hill and you will see it on the right hand side on top.







Here's pictures of the food items.


This English sheet is at the register




Mural on the wall behind the meeting area.


Pager thing that you get when you order.



I ordered a Cappuccino. It wasn't anything amazing, but standard. 






RATING: 2 out of 6 coffee beans.

Caffe Bonito

Tucked away into a big housing area in Paengseong-eup is a Cafe thats been around for a year. Its off the beaten path as you won't see it from the main road. Its a gem of a place, and what I experienced was lovely.  The barista speaks some English and is delightful. The place has no bathroom, but is really clean. 










Heres the Cappuccino.





Its located on the street before Lotteria

Two Kinds of Coffee (take 2)

I love the vibe in Two Kinds. Its a upscale, modern comfortable coffee house that never disappoints. 
I had a hot decaf Dutch which I loved, and would come back again and again for it. 
The two gentleman that run it, are serious about their coffee. I was in awe of their espresso machine and all the equipment. Ah, can I say how much I love the coffee culture here. Seriously. 

Click HERE for my first experience. 

I think I have found a new favorite. 

You can also find them on Facebook HERE

Oh and the desserts you can get in a little to-go box. 

6 out of 5 Coffee Beans! 





Business card with address. 




This mug seriously is the coolest mug. 


If you have been to Korea, you know what this is! 





Beans N. Vines

This was a hidden gem tucked in a big housing area. 
The place was full of Korean men but then emptied out a bit. The drink I had was great although I wanted it in a mug instead not a to go cup. 

Directions: if coming from base follow the route the 20 bus takes into Paengseong. Once you pass Paris Baguette make a left. Follow the road up the hill and you will find it.
