Heading to the Nowon coffee spot that had insane waits even when it first opened
How to get there from Nowon Station
If you're coming by subway, get off at Nowon Station and head to Exit 4 — there's an escalator connecting directly to Lotte Department Store. Ride the escalator, open the door, and boom, you're on B1!! This is the Nowon coffee spot ☕️

This place is so famous for its in-house roasted beans that any coffee lover has probably heard of it! It's so popular that you can even find Jeong Ji-young coffee at convenience stores now
(Of course, the convenience store version is tasty too, but) nothing beats freshly brewed coffee at the actual store ☕️

What should you drink to say you did it right?
What should you drink to really say you had a good visit hahahaha
It's this
Signature coconut coffee
This menu item is so popular it has sold over 1.11 million cups and even holds a patent 👍👍
Sweet coconut coffee topped with soft foam (₩7,000)
Iced only!
Taste tip
For the coconut coffee, make sure to stir it thoroughly all the way to the bottom to get the best flavor!!!
Coconut coffee with a gentle, subtle coconut aroma
With a patent behind it, this menu item won't split opinions
I expected it to be super sickly sweet, but the aftertaste is surprisingly clean. Usually adding a lot of syrup or sugar leaves a heavy aftertaste, but the power of the special recipe! Not heavy at all
And the iced vanilla latte (₩6,800)
Good beans = good coffee
How do you choose the beans?
You can pick your preferred roast level, like dark roast or medium roast
There's decaf, of course, and also high-quality specialty beans you can choose from — eek! Kenya Kiambu AA is genuinely delicious, found it, the tasty bean 👏👏👏 Now I don't have to travel all the way to Haenggung-dong for coffee like this anymore!? Successfully enjoying that exact same Haenggung-dong flavor right here in Seoul!
Things to know before visiting
Unfortunately, Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters, Lotte Department Store Nowon doesn't have separate tables to sit and drink, so it's strictly takeout only — worth keeping in mind before you visit 😊
