Solo journaling café in Hapjeong: Peach-Punch Geisha, Central Site

Central Site Hapjeong hours and parking

Central Site Hapjeong (센트럴사이트 합정점) is at 20 Yanghwa-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 1st floor. It is open 08:00–22:00 Monday to Friday and 08:30–22:00 on weekends. There is no parking at the café itself, but the Hapjeong Homeplus underground lot (Mecenatpolis) is free for 30 minutes, then ₩2,000 per 30 minutes.

What kind of café is Central Site Hapjeong?

Central Site Hapjeong is a Hapjeong café about a 2-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hapjeong Station, and it's the second branch after Central Site Yeonnam. The Yeonnam branch has three floors including a rooftop, so the Hapjeong one feels pretty cozy by comparison. And it's almost been 2 years since I went to Yeonnam?! Time flies...

The exterior has an exotic feel, and since the weather was nice, quite a few people were sitting on the terrace. I thought about sitting outside too, but I wanted to write in my diary, so I grabbed a seat inside haha

Central Site Hapjeong menu and what I ordered

After looking at the menu, I ordered the Colombia Quebradita Geisha Washed Peach-Punch (₩12,000) and a classic tiramisu (₩8,500).

Central Site's signature tiramisus... the most basic classic tiramisu, a brownie tiramisu that looks sweet just by looking at it, and a cute Mont Blanc tiramisu. You can't come to Central Site and skip the tiramisu (?)

Inside Central Site Hapjeong, with its roasting room

There's a roasting room at the back of the café, so the nutty smell of roasting beans kept drifting through. It's been a while since I smelled this... addictive...

Central Site Hapjeong is smaller than the Yeonnam branch, but it still has quite a few tables.

Even on a weekday afternoon, there were lots of customers. I love this weekday leisure so much...

How does the Colombia Quebradita Geisha Peach-Punch drip taste?

The Colombia Quebradita Geisha Washed Peach-Punch is an acidic bean with a bright fruity aroma. I got it on the staff's recommendation and it was exactly my taste. It wasn't harsh at all: light, with a fresh fruity scent, and really delicious.

They bring the cup filled right to the brim, and I wonder how they carry it without spilling... I was nervous about spilling it at my first sip haha

Central Site classic tiramisu

The classic tiramisu at Central Site Hapjeong was very moist. The generous chocolate on top is the kicker! Moist, soft, sweet and delicious. I think it would have gone really well with a latte too.

Writing my diary solo at Central Site Hapjeong

Catching up on my overdue diary at Central Site Hapjeong... I was definitely going to write every day, or well, at least every other day, but a week passes in the blink of an eye and I always end up a once-a-week diary writer... Writing my yoga log and diary over coffee and tiramisu made the time fly.

My traces... It was a little corner (?) seat, which made it even cozier haha

Where is the restroom at Central Site Hapjeong?

The restroom at Central Site Hapjeong is outside the café. Leave the shop and turn left, and you'll see a shutter door; use the building entrance to its right to reach the restroom. Ask the staff for the passcode.

It was nice to enjoy a relaxing solo café time after so long ^_^ This is Central Site Hapjeong, a Hapjeong café with great tiramisu.
