Eunpyeong café with 1L tomato juice and milk tea: Ward Coffee

Today, I’m sharing Ward Coffee Gusan Station Branch (와드커피 구산역점), a Gusan Station café with friendly prices and absolutely huge portions! I’d passed it so many times but finally visited Ward Coffee for the first time, and wow, the menu was seriously varied—from coffee and smoothies to juice and 1-liter drinks! Most of all, they have 1L bottle options, which totally hit the spot for a big-drink lover like me :) After trying it, I thought the drinks were good and the owner was so kind that I’d definitely like to stop by often from now on!

Finding Ward Coffee from Gusan Station and parking

It’s about a 3-minute walk from Gusan Station Exit 2, so the access was great right away! There are outdoor tables right in front of the shop too, and they looked nice for sitting down with a coffee when the weather is cool :) Parking, of course, is not available! But because it’s so close to the station, it’s perfect if you’re looking for an easy-to-reach Gusan Station café :)

A cute interior decorated in yellow

Ward Coffee near Gusan Station had such a cute interior! The bright yellow color and adorable Ward Coffee characters all around made it feel instantly cheerful as soon as I walked in :)

The café isn’t huge, but it was decorated so sweetly, and it even had Crayon Shin-chan figures that made looking around fun! There was also a receipt photo booth inside, so we took photos for the first time in ages while waiting for our coffee!

There were about five or six two-person tables too, so it was nice for sitting down and having a drink on a hot day :)

Best of all, there are separate 1-liter large-size options as well as regular sizes.

A whole liter, plus you get the bottle too, at these prices—such amazing value, isn’t it!!! Since you get the bottle as well, it was great for buying plenty at once and drinking it over time :)

My take on 1L tomato juice and milk tea, stored for later

We thought we might as well try them properly, and since the bottles came with the drinks, we ordered the 1-liter bottle menu to reuse as coffee tumblers in summer! We chose tomato juice and milk tea! The amount was truly enormous.

Instead of being served in disposable cups, the drinks came in 1L bottles with lids. I loved that even if we couldn’t finish them all at once, we could simply close the lid and put them in the fridge. The tomato juice looked properly like a fruit juice just at a glance! It was nice and refreshing to drink, and a bottle filled to the brim felt really satisfying.

The milk tea was so nutty and delicious!! A liter was honestly more than I expected, so I kept it in the refrigerator and properly enjoyed it with dessert for two whole days ;)
