It sits slightly uphill, so the view over Dongchon Resort is incredible. The building is big enough to spot at a glance even from afar. ![Second-floor entrance to Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-03-az85v-900.webp) The entrance to Hands Coffee is on the second floor. ![Summer bingsu menu promotion](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-04-1chqk-900.webp) They were promoting their summer bingsu (shaved ice dessert) menu, haha. I used to be so hooked on Hands Coffee’s green tea bingsu that I went often, so I should have it once more before summer ends. ![Second-floor ordering area and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-05-o6gj3-900.webp) The second floor has both the ordering counter and seating. ![Wood-toned second-floor café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-06-ksp26-900.webp) The interior is warm and upscale in wood tones. Hands Coffee’s signature classic, comfortable atmosphere feels woven throughout the whole space!! The leather sofa seats are soft too, perfect for sitting and chatting for a long time. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows bring the lush trees and distant scenery right into view from the window seats, so even just sitting there feels healing. Haha. ![Floor-to-ceiling windows and leather sofa seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-07-pjf02-900.webp) ## Ordering waffles and pour-over coffee Hands Coffee is well known for its desserts. ![Hands Coffee dessert menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-08-1uqqk-900.webp) ![Hands Coffee waffle menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-09-2cg59-900.webp) Waffles are our favorite, especially the strawberry waffle available in winter—that’s the original classic—but today we ordered the ice cream waffle, haha. There are loads of other waffles too, including blueberry cream cheese, matcha red bean paste, chocolate banana, and granola peanut cream. We also ordered two pour-over coffees. ![Order for ice cream waffle and pour-over coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-10-93osf-900.webp) There are so many kinds of hand-drip coffee and drinks that you can order exactly to your taste. ![Hand-drip coffee and drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-11-1itof-900.webp) Today’s choices were the Decaf Special and Ethiopia Hambela Natural. ![Tumblers and café goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-12-18k1c-900.webp) They also sell various goods(?) such as tumblers, just so you know. Today we settled into a second-floor window seat with lush greenery outside. ![Second-floor window seat overlooking greenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-13-1xt3i-900.webp) After a short wait, our order arrived. ![Ordered coffee and waffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-14-bb98w-900.webp) First, the two pour-over coffees. ![Two cups of pour-over coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-15-1gxu9-900.webp) My wife ordered the decaf, and I ordered the Ethiopia Hambela Natural. ![Decaf and Ethiopian pour-over coffees](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-16-17tsp-900.webp) ![Pour-over coffee by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-17-1q0dp-900.webp) ### How was the Decaf Special? The Decaf Special tasting notes are maple syrup, caramel, and roasted almond. You can enjoy it without the caffeine burden. Even though it is decaf, it was not watery at all; the nutty roasted almond and gentle caramel sweetness came together so well that it felt like drinking regular nutty bean coffee. It was more delicious than I expected. ![Decaf Special coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-18-13rwt-900.webp) ![Decaf Special pour-over coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-19-djksy-900.webp) ![Two pour-over coffees and an ice cream waffle at Hands Coffee in Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-20-1vkq3-900.webp) ![Two pour-over coffees and an ice cream waffle at Hands Coffee in Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-21-qsqjx-900.webp) ![Two pour-over coffees and an ice cream waffle at Hands Coffee in Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-22-1pusd-900.webp) ![Two pour-over coffees and an ice cream waffle at Hands Coffee in Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-23-1qggf-900.webp) ![Two pour-over coffees and an ice cream waffle at Hands Coffee in Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee-24-rqvul-900.webp) ### The refreshing aroma of Ethiopia Hambela Natural The Ethiopia Hambela Natural tasting notes are cranberry, winey notes, dried fruit, and a medium body. I chose it because I tend to prefer acidity and fruity aromas, and it was an excellent choice!! Its rich, wine-like flavor was joined by the sweetness of dried fruit, making every sip wonderfully bright and clean. Over ice, its distinctive aroma felt even fresher, so it would be great for a clean, refreshing summer coffee. ## Crisp and chewy ice cream waffle And then there was Hands Coffee’s popular ice cream waffle!! The freshly baked, golden waffle came dusted with powdered sugar. That signature waffle texture—crisp outside and chewy within—was a work of art!! You can choose two gelato ice cream flavors with whipped cream. We chose green tea and strawberry from green tea, strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate!! Put the cool, chewy Häagen-Dazs ice cream on a warm piece of waffle and the combination melts beautifully in your mouth. ## Haemaji Bridge from the fourth-floor terrace The café spans the second through fourth floors, so before heading home we went up to the fourth-floor terrace. Perhaps because autumn was beginning, a cool breeze was gently blowing, and enjoying coffee on the terrace sounded so nice. The view of Haemaji Bridge at Dongchon Resort is an extra that really clears your mind!! If you want to step away from a dull routine and refresh yourself lightly, be sure to visit Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch for its open Dongchon Resort view, fragrant coffee, and sweet desserts. ## Where it is - Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch (핸즈커피 동촌유원지점) (핸즈커피 동촌유원지점) - 5-6 Hyodong-ro 6-gil, Dong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 동구 효동로6길 5-6 핸즈커피 동촌유원지점 - 35.8821099, 128.6480086 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B8%EC%A6%88%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%20%EB%8F%99%EC%B4%8C%EC%9C%A0%EC%9B%90%EC%A7%80%EC%A0%90/@35.8821099,128.6480086,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-slow-sips/daegu-dongchon-dripcoffee-waffle-handscoffee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
