On a clear day the writer took a seat on the outdoor terrace and tried three signature items — the dripper latte, the cone choco latte and Chodang tofu pudding — and the cone choco latte, served in a cone used as the cup, stood out for both looks and taste. For anyone who wants something beyond the usual Gangneung americano, Coffee Dripper is a good stop. ## Good to know - **Address**: 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, 1F, Gangneung, Gangwon (354-1 Chodang-dong) - **Hours**: 10:00 - 18:00 - **Parking**: Lot behind the building, room for 13 cars - **Seating**: Wood-toned indoor seats, outdoor terrace, group tables - **Menu tried**: Dripper latte, cone choco latte, Chodang tofu pudding *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* While exploring Chodang Tofu Village on a trip to Gangneung, I went looking for a nice-looking café and ended up at Coffee Dripper 🤎 Gangneung has so many famous cafés that it was hard to choose, but Coffee Dripper caught my eye because it has signature menu items beyond the usual café fare! ## Coffee Dripper: location, hours and parking > ✔️ Coffee Dripper > 📍354-1 Chodang-dong, Gangneung, Gangwon > ⏰ Hours 10:00 - 18:00 > 🅿️ Lot behind the building ⭕ space for 13 cars ![Exterior view of Coffee Dripper café in Chodang-dong, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-01-5f493-900.webp) ![Entrance and wood-toned building of Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-02-15vz5-1200.webp) ![Surroundings of Coffee Dripper with the terrace visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-03-1kxkh-900.webp) The whole space at Coffee Dripper has a warm, wood-toned feel that made it comfortable to sit in, and there's a terrace too, so on a nice day it seems great to enjoy your coffee outside. ## What kind of café is Coffee Dripper? > Gangneung Dripper has been a roastery café hand-dripping coffee from beans roasted in-house since 2012, based in Gyodong, Gangneung. It's kept a classic coffee style going in the same spot for over a decade, and reopened in May 2026 with a new space and menu. It's a 10-minute walk from Gangmun Beach, sits inside Chodang Tofu Village, and fits naturally into a Gangneung travel route. It's also close to Gangneung Station. > > The signature menus are the dripper latte (white almond mocha), a refined version of a decade-old signature; the choco cone latte, where the cone becomes the cup; coffee soft serve made with house-pulled espresso; tofu pudding made with Chodang tofu from Gangneung; pine forest matcha latte, capturing Gangneung's pine forest; and Sunset lemonade, capturing Gangneung's sunset. They also serve croffin desserts (croissant baked like a muffin, in black sesame, vanilla, and chocolate) and sell their own roasted beans. > > With parking for around 13 cars and group seating available, they'll serve travelers looking for a Gangneung café a good cup of coffee. ![Wood-toned indoor seating at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-04-rwwfe-900.webp) ![Sunlit window seat at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-05-13ir8-900.webp) ![Interior tables and lighting at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-06-1f9wb-900.webp) ![Interior decor pieces at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-07-17jw7-900.webp) ![Counter and menu area at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-08-cz2qk-900.webp) Sunlight came in nicely through the windows, so visiting during the day made for a great mood 🌴❤️ 🐷 My picks 🐷 - Dripper latte - Cone choco latte - Chodang tofu pudding ![Table set with Coffee Dripper's signature menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-09-l4ik8-900.webp) ## What the outdoor terrace at Coffee Dripper feels like The weather was so nice that we sat on Coffee Dripper's outdoor terrace. The vibe was so good. ![Outdoor terrace seating at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-10-mt2kr-900.webp) ![Cone choco latte and drinks on a terrace table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-11-12wzb-900.webp) ![Close-up of the cone choco latte, with the cone used as a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-12-1se14-900.webp) ## Cone choco latte: the drink served in a cone The cone choco latte grabbed my attention purely on looks 🍦 True to its name, it's a unique drink that uses a cone as the cup, and the moment I saw it I just had to take photos. The sweet choco latte paired with the nutty, crunchy cone made it feel more like a dessert 💗 Drinking the coffee while eating the cone alongside it was fun and felt like a special treat — it really stuck with me. ![Holding Coffee Dripper's cone choco latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-13-hlfhm-900.webp) ![A cup of white almond mocha-style dripper latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-14-13hfw-900.webp) ## How does the dripper latte taste? The first thing I was curious about was the dripper latte ☕️ It's a white almond mocha-style latte, and the soft, nutty flavor was really appealing ✨ It had a somewhat different flavor from a regular café latte, so it felt fresh. It's on the sweet side! ![Tofu pudding dessert made with Gangneung Chodang tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature-15-1s7st-900.webp) ## Chodang tofu pudding at Coffee Dripper For dessert, the Chodang tofu pudding is a must-try. Since we were in Chodang-dong in Gangneung, it was fun that there was a menu item using Chodang tofu. Despite the name, it doesn't taste strongly like tofu — it has a soft, jiggly, pudding-like texture that eats well as a dessert. ## Is Coffee Dripper worth a stop in Gangneung? With menu items like the dripper latte and cone choco latte that you don't easily find elsewhere, this place seems well suited to anyone looking for a special café while traveling in Gangneung. If you want signature drinks you can only get here, rather than the usual americano or latte common around Gangneung, I'd recommend Coffee Dripper ☕️🤎 The cone choco latte stuck with me the most — it's fun to look at and sweet to taste, making it the perfect menu item for a Gangneung travel photo! ## Where it is - Coffee Dripper (커피드립퍼) - 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, 1F, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 난설헌로 229-4 1층 - 37.7926896, 128.9144187 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%93%9C%EB%A6%BD%ED%8D%BC/@37.7926896,128.9144187,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegwallyeong-fog-cup/gangneung-chodang-cafe-terrace-signature/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
