On a late weekday afternoon, the writer and her husband left work early and ordered the Hongrad Brownie, a café latte and a Summer Latte, paying about 20,000 won for two coffees and one dessert. Hongrad Suwon Station Branch is cosier than the Yeongtong branch, but the decorative props are fun to browse and it makes an easy rest stop after shopping near Suwon Station. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2nd floor, 61-1 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi - **What we ordered**: Hongrad Brownie, café latte, Summer Latte - **Estimated cost for two**: About 20,000 won for two coffees and one dessert - **Parking**: No parking provided (the writer used the Lotte Mall car park) - **Location notes**: Behind Suwon Tax Office, walkable from AK Plaza and Lotte Mall - **Price reference**: ₩20,000 ≈ $15 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Last Friday, my husband and I left work early and headed out to Suwon Station. We had errands at AK Plaza and Lotte Mall anyway, so while looking for a café to grab a coffee, we ended up at Hongrad Suwon Station Branch. Last time I visited Hongrad's fifth branch in Yeongtong's central shopping district, but this time it was the third branch, at Suwon Station. Same brand, but each location has a slightly different mood, so I was curious what this one would feel like. ## Where is Hongrad Suwon Station Branch, and how far is it from Suwon Station? Hongrad Suwon Station Branch sits right behind the Suwon Tax Office. It's on the 2nd floor at 61-1 Hyanggyo-ro, a good spot for a quick coffee stop after visiting AK Plaza or Lotte Mall near Suwon Station. ![Vertical shot of the Hongrad Suwon Station Branch building exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-01-ro7g3-1200.webp) ![Street near Hongrad Suwon Station Branch behind the Suwon Tax Office](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-02-spki1-750.webp) Hongrad started with its first branch in Buksu-dong, Haenggung-dong, and now has several locations: the second at Hwaseomun in Haenggung-dong, this third one at Suwon Station, a fourth in Nahyeseok, Ingye-dong, and a fifth in central Yeongtong. Each branch has a slightly different concept and mood, so hunting down the different locations is part of the fun. Walking in, the shop was cozier than I expected. ![Cozy interior of the Hongrad Suwon Station Branch on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-03-1bbja-900.webp) Compared to the Yeongtong branch I visited last time, which was fairly spacious, the Suwon Station branch definitely feels smaller. ## Inside Hongrad Suwon Station Branch: black-and-white New York mood Hongrad Suwon Station Branch is decorated mostly in black and white throughout. ![Café interior decorated in black and white](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-04-jjgam-900.webp) ![A corner styled in American vintage interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-05-avq89-m-900.webp) ![Wall decoration with a New York-concept café vibe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-06-28l57-900.webp) It feels like stepping into a small café in New York. Hip, but not too cold — nicely done in an American vintage style. ![Relaxed café seating on a quiet weekday late afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-07-1n8m2-m-900.webp) Maybe because we visited late in the afternoon after leaving work early, it felt extra relaxing. Sitting in a café like this on a weekday afternoon made it feel almost like a weekend outing. It's a good spot to rest for a bit during a date. ![A café table good for resting during a date](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-08-7kfrh-900.webp) ![Interior space arranged efficiently despite the small footprint](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-09-f2xs0-900.webp) The shop isn't big, but the space feels well used. In particular, the cute little props placed here and there caught my eye. ![Cute little props placed around the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-10-1vx4s-m-900.webp) They're all so much my style that even trying to just walk past, I ended up looking twice. ![A shelf holding vintage-style props](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-11-1smj8-m-900.webp) ![Props that blend well with the New York-concept interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-12-18obo-900.webp) These small, charming props go so well with the New York-concept interior that browsing the shop was part of the fun. It's smaller in scale than the Yeongtong branch, but the Suwon Station branch has a distinct personality of its own. The space itself feels calm, so it would suit not just a date but also coming alone for a cup of coffee. ## What we ordered: Hongrad Brownie, café latte and Summer Latte - Hongrad Brownie - Café latte - Summer Latte The first thing that caught my eye was the Hongrad Brownie. Even the name is cute, and the actual look was even cuter haha. ![The Hongrad Brownie with a chocolate-syrup face drawn on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-13-ewhtc-900.webp) They draw a face in chocolate syrup on top of the vanilla ice cream, and honestly, it was drawn pretty well. The kind of visual that makes you want to take a photo before anything else. The sweet brownie paired with the cold vanilla ice cream made a great combination. Most of all, it was a menu item that just made me happy because it was so cute. ![A plate with brownie and vanilla ice cream dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-14-6vp8g-900.webp) The café latte had genuinely good coffee. It had the smoothness you want from a latte without the coffee flavor getting buried, which I liked. I personally prefer strong coffee over something too mild, so this suited my taste well. The Summer Latte was also sweet and smooth, easy to drink. ![Café latte and Summer Latte on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-15-eucls-900.webp) ![Table setting with dessert and drinks together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-16-je9l1-900.webp) ## How much does it cost, and is there parking? I liked that the drink and dessert prices at Hongrad Suwon Station Branch weren't burdensome. ![The ordering counter and menu display](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-17-zd9vt-900.webp) Two coffees plus one dessert for two people came to about ₩20,000, which felt like solid value. ![A café table with coffee and dessert set out](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-18-1h1jt-900.webp) Unfortunately, there's no parking support. We had errands at Lotte Mall that day, so we parked there and walked over. ## Hongrad Suwon Station Branch vs the Yeongtong branch Where the Hongrad Yeongtong branch I visited last time felt spacious and comfortable, the Suwon Station branch packs a New York feel into a cozier space. ![A cozy space filled with New York-style interior details](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-19-td2cc-900.webp) ![A café corner with vintage props and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-20-a0v6p-900.webp) Between the black-and-white interior, the vintage props, and the comfortable sofa seats, there was plenty to look at and a nice place to rest as well. ![Café interior with comfortable sofa seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-21-1s3e7-900.webp) ![Seating area styled in black-and-white interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-22-f2zo1-900.webp) ![A window-side café seat good for resting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-23-19zl1-900.webp) If you're shopping near Suwon Station and looking for a café to take a break in, Hongrad Suwon Station Branch is a solid choice. That wraps up my visit to Hongrad branch number three, the Suwon Station location! ![Commemorative photo marking the visit to Hongrad's third branch at Suwon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte-24-1coj0-900.webp) ## Where it is - Hongrad Suwon Station Branch (홍라드 수원역점) - 61-1 Hyanggyo-ro, 2nd floor, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 향교로 61-1 2층 - 37.2699108, 127.0074848 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%8D%EB%9D%BC%EB%93%9C%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.2699108,127.0074848,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@evening-menu-margin/hongrad-suwon-station-brownie-latte/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
