Cafe GongMyoung Sangsu – Atmosphere & First Impressions

At the entrance, you’ll notice a sign asking you to settle your belongings and choose a seat on the second floor before ordering at the counter. The first floor has a terrace with outdoor seating and a staircase leading up to the indoor seating areas.

The interior is filled with large windows, letting in plenty of natural light. On the second floor, you’ll find several small rooms, each with its own seating arrangement. Outlets are conveniently placed, making it perfect for studying or working. I sat by a window and enjoyed the chill, upbeat background music while getting work done.

coffee bean options

Bisque chou, rasberry jam scone and gongmyoung latte

1. Bisque Chou (₩4,600)
Crispy exterior with creamy milk filling. Not overly sweet—perfect for my taste. The flavor is addictive, and I can see why it’s the most popular dessert here.

2. Raspberry Jam Scone (₩6,400)
Crisp outside, soft inside, with flavorful raspberry jam. Slightly reminded me of a raspberry sandwich—familiar yet unique. Worth ordering again!

3. GongMyoung Latte (₩6,500)
A signature drink. The staff recommended tasting the thick cream on top before mixing—it was like eating soft, creamy ice cream. The drink itself had a cinnamon milk flavor, and once mixed, it became rich and aromatic. A must-try for cinnamon lovers.

Final Thought

Cafe GongMyoung is an ideal spot for studying, working, or relaxing with friends. With ample outlets, a quiet ambiance, and unique desserts, it’s a great find just minutes from Sangsu Station.

If you love bright spaces, quality coffee, and freshly made pastries, this cafe will make you want to come back again and again.
