Guui Gate café for a weekday couple date: Harry Potter-cup latte, Wonz

Wonz Coffee Children's Grand Park Main Branch (원즈커피 어린이대공원 본점) at 32 Jayang-ro 32-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul is so close on foot to the Guui Gate of Seoul's Children's Grand Park that you could call it a café right at the gate. I came on a weekday with my husband, just the two of us, no kids! Let me start by saying that next time we come to Children's Grand Park with the kids, it's close enough to grab a coffee and carry it with you.

What are the opening hours of Wonz Coffee's main branch?

The main branch is open from 08:00 to 22:00, and opens at 09:30 on weekends. Last order is at 21:00, and there are no regular holidays and no break time.

Can you park at Wonz Coffee's main branch?

We were able to park in a handy spot beside the shop. Since it's a recommended café for Children's Grand Park and also within walking distance of the park, you could just as well park in a nearby public car park and walk over.

Guui Gate café checklist: Wonz Coffee main branch

✔️ Please note that Wonz Coffee is a barista café near Guui Station, touched by a national-team barista. It's really good!

✔️ The "Wonz" in Wonz Coffee (ONES) is made from the initials of One Nice Experience Self, and the sign says its slogan is "a new experience in a cup of coffee." The laboratory-style interior, which seems to mean they run all kinds of experiments and research on coffee, caught my eye 👨🏻‍🔬🧪

✔️ If you join the Naver receipt review event, you can pick one of three: an extra cup of coffee, a Dutch coffee portion, or a drip bag draw.

✔️ The restroom is inside the shop, and there's a diaper-changing table too.

Atmosphere and coffee beans at Wonz Coffee's main branch

Inside the main branch there are spots for staying on your own and spots for chatting. The interior isn't uniform; each seat is decorated with its own character, so you can just sit wherever you like.

As you'd expect from a place with a national-team barista, they're picky about everything from selecting the beans to roasting them, and the plus is that you can choose from a variety of beans for your coffee.

What we ordered on our weekday couple date, and the prices

At Wonz Coffee we ordered a vanilla bean cream latte (₩6,500), a café latte (₩4,900, nutty flavor), an egg tart (₩3,500) and a choco s'mores cookie (₩4,500). I couldn't decide what to eat, but the signature menu had cream lattes, so I thought, oh, in that case! I picked the vanilla bean cream latte and my husband picked the café latte.

Everything we ordered was brought to our table at once on a silver tray. The moment I saw it, my eyes went straight to the latte cup 😁

Wonz Coffee café latte in a Harry Potter-style cup

The café latte came in a cup that looks like something out of Harry Potter. It's heavier than I expected, but not too heavy, so it looked great for drinking coffee warm. The latte was nutty with a slight hint of orange rising up!

How do you drink the vanilla bean cream latte?

With the Wonz Coffee vanilla bean cream latte, the cream and the coffee come separately. They explained that it tastes best if you pour in all the cream and then stir well to the end. As I poured the cream in I thought, won't this overflow~? but it was exactly the right amount 🤭 Mixed up properly as the owner recommended, it wasn't greasy at all, just creamy and full of sweetness. Totally my taste ♬

Choco s'mores cookie

The Wonz Coffee choco s'mores cookie had the kind of quality where you think, okay, this is the real thing. I love chocolate so much that having it with the sweet vanilla bean cream latte felt like my birthday, haha.

Buying Wonz Coffee Dutch portions to drink at home

The beans tasted so good that I wondered whether to buy coffee bags or something else, and ended up with Dutch coffee portions. For enjoying good beans at home lightly and easily, portions are just right!

They packed it in a medicine bag to match the laboratory concept, which made me smile. That was Wonz Coffee's main branch, which I recommend as a Children's Grand Park café in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
