It makes a great dessert stop after Chodang sundubu (soft tofu) or Gangneung jang kalguksu (spicy noodle soup). ![Café exterior with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-02-1gevv-900.webp) It has such a cute yet warm feel that it makes you want to drop in casually as you pass by. Natural sunlight filters in at the front, and the café feels wonderfully open thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows. ![Café view along the Nanseolheon-ro walking path](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-03-5v32s-900.webp) Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and it is closed every Tuesday. It is a 10-minute walk from Gangmun Beach, so it is lovely for a stroll, and just a five-minute drive from Gyeongpo Beach. ![Coffee Dripper business hours notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-04-1o858-900.webp) ![Dedicated parking space beside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-05-rmvoi-900.webp) There is dedicated parking beside the café, with a generous roughly 13 spaces available. ## An interior where sunlight meets warm wood tones ![Café interior with wood tones and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-06-1fkey-900.webp) When you open the door and step inside, the warm wood tones and soft lighting create a calm, comfortable atmosphere. ![Café space with plants and small objects](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-07-ul2kk-900.webp) Neatly placed plants and cute little objects throughout make the space feel even more serene. The plants were so pretty that I wanted to bring one home, too. ![Bar table beside floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-08-14udh-900.webp) There is a bar table by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

We were even able to catch up on our overdue diary entries and enjoy an unhurried moment. There are plenty of outlets here and there, so it seems great for laptop work, too. ![Coffee Dripper goods and drip bags](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-12-1aml7-900.webp) Coffee Dripper also has a goods section. They sell cute T-shirts, pretty cups, and their own blended drip bags. It turns out this is a roasting specialist that has been around since 2012.

It is on the pricier side, but one sip made the price understandable. ![Dripper House Blend drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-20-u2ite-900.webp) It had a well-balanced body and a slight acidity, with a clean finish. Rinsing your palate with the pine needle tea served alongside makes it perfect. It was also a flawless match for the cruffin dessert. ![Pine needle tea and drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-21-kv7ew-900.webp) It comes with coffee ice, so even as it melts, the drink stays enjoyable. ![Drink with coffee ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-22-vdbdj-900.webp) ## Homemade cream latte and black sesame cruffin The Dripper Signature Cream Latte is ₩6,500, with thick, nutty homemade cream resting over a bold espresso base. It is smooth and nutty in a way that instantly lifts your mood! Drink it as it is without stirring for an extreme creaminess—this is truly a signature drink. ![Signature latte topped with homemade cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-23-k5xlh-900.webp) The black sesame cruffin we chose for dessert was ₩5,500. It is a dessert you absolutely have to try when you come to Gangneung! ![Cruffin filled with black sesame cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin-24-t4p8r-900.webp) The outside is crisp and the inside moist, with rich, nutty black sesame cream generously tucked between every layer of the cruffin. One bite brings an explosion of nutty black sesame flavor and crisp croissant layers. It was a flavor I had never tried before, yet one that anyone could enjoy without hesitation! Paired with the clean Dripper House Blend, the balance of sweetness and nuttiness was spot-on. Coffee Dripper is a café in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, where you can enjoy carefully made house-blend coffee, a smooth Signature Cream Latte, and the distinctive, beautifully executed black sesame cruffin! I recommend it to anyone on a date near Gyeongpo Lake or looking for a relaxed, quiet break. ## Where it is - Coffee Dripper (커피드립퍼) (커피드립퍼) - 1F, 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, 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/@gangwon-stone-tray/gangneung-chodang-coffee-crofin/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
