# Coconut-hater's coconut coffee at Starfield Suwon café: Jeong Jiyeong - By Subin Ohn (https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-window-latte/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Suwon, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-window-latte/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gwangju-window-latte/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/index.md) ## In short Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters Starfield Suwon Branch is the second-floor Starfield Suwon shop of a local coffee brand that started in Suwon's Haenggung-dong in 2017. Although I don't usually like coconut, a poster advertising 1.11 million cups sold and a patent convinced me to order the coconut coffee, and it wasn't overly sweet — the coffee's bitterness matched the coconut so well that I never needed to trade for my husband's grapefruit ade. If you love coffee but aren't sold on coconut, the coconut coffee at Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters is worth trying once. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F Starfield Suwon, 175 Suseong-ro, Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do - **What we ordered**: Coconut coffee, grapefruit ade - **Brand**: A local coffee brand that started in Haenggung-dong, Suwon in 2017 - **Perk for pregnant customers**: Free switch to decaf beans - **Seating**: Not a large store; nearly every seat was taken during our visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Exterior of Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters on the 2nd floor of Starfield Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-01-1a5ic-1200.webp) *Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters at Starfield Suwon* I knew Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters had a spot in Starfield Suwon, but it turns out it's been there longer than I thought. I remembered we actually had our wedding invitation meetup at Starfield Suwon once — we ate there and grabbed coffee at Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters right next door! I'd first visited their Hwaseong Haenggung branch and had such good coffee there that I went back several times, so seeing this branch always feels like running into an old friend. ## What kind of café is Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters? A Suwon local brand from Haenggung-dong ![Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters official website screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-02-13e32-918.webp) *Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters official website* Since Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters started in Haenggung-dong, it feels a bit more familiar to me than other cafés. It's a local Suwon coffee brand that first opened in Haenggung in 2017! ## Returning to Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters in Starfield Suwon after a long break ![Entrance of Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters Starfield Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-03-g1qew-900.webp) ![Café interior decorated in black and wood tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-04-irlkv-805.webp) I do go out of my way to try new cafés sometimes, but once I find a place I love, I tend to keep going back to just that one, haha. I've always felt this about the Starfield Suwon branch — the store isn't huge, but the space is really nicely done. Decorated cleanly in black and wood tones, it had an overall calm yet warm atmosphere. ![Calm interior atmosphere of Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-05-zukbl-900.webp) ![Bean display shelf near the front of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-06-1mwmo-900.webp) ![Café merchandise on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-07-1lxxc-900.webp) ![Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters bean packages on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-08-94nex-900.webp) ![Store display browsed while waiting for drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-09-bfvgr-900.webp) Beans and goods were displayed near the front, so it was fun to browse around while waiting for our drinks. ## Second-floor café in Starfield Suwon: nearly every seat was already full ![](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-10-9o7z4-900.webp) ![Café seating area nearly full of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-11-aesxo-900.webp) We got our drinks to go that day, but looking inside, almost every seat was taken! While waiting on our order, we wandered around the store a bit. ![Display shelf with Suwon-i mascot merchandise](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-12-ix83d-857.webp) ![Merchandise corner on one side of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-13-1op1v-900.webp) On one shelf, they were even selling goods featuring "Suwon-i," the city of Suwon's mascot character. Popular cafés at Starfield Suwon fill up fast, so I figured that was just how it goes here too, haha. ## Trying the coconut coffee at Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters as someone who dislikes coconut ![Menu board at Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters Starfield Suwon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-14-jl93g-900.webp) *Menu board* The thing I most wanted to talk about!!! Coconut coffee!! I don't really like coconut, but when I was ordering, I saw a poster that said 1.11 million cups sold and mentioned a patent, and before I knew it I'd ordered the coconut coffee. I guess it was just... a sudden burst of adventurousness? (I'd tried and failed with coconut a few times before, so it had been a while since my last attempt.) I wondered what it could possibly taste like to sell that many cups — and it was so good. ### 1.11 million cups and a patent? Why I ordered the coconut coffee ![Coconut coffee in a takeout cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-15-17txy-856.webp) At first I figured if the distinctive coconut aroma or sweetness was too strong I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I planned to trade with my husband's grapefruit ade (sorry, honey...), but once I actually tried it, it wasn't as sweet as I expected — the bold coconut flavor came through together with a rich coffee taste, all in a smooth finish! But it wasn't just sweet with an overwhelming coconut flavor — from the first sip I could taste that distinctive sweet, nutty coconut note, and the coffee's bitterness added to the coconut's soft, nutty flavor. The combination worked better than I expected, and having tried it myself, I'd be satisfied enough to order it again. - Coconut flavor: On the strong side - Sweetness: Moderately sweet - If you like coconut: Recommended - If you don't like coconut: Worth trying once if you like coffee ### Honest review: the coconut coffee tasted better for not being too sweet ![Coconut coffee held in hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-16-137am-736.webp) Honestly, I'd had coconut coffee at another café before and remembered it being just too sweet, so I hadn't really ordered it since. But since coconut coffee is the signature menu item here at Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters, I gave it a try out of curiosity. I tend to get sick of coffee quickly if it's too sweet, and this coconut coffee's sweetness was less over-the-top than I expected, which I liked. The distinctive sweet, nutty coconut flavor came through without the sweetness overwhelming everything, and it paired with the coffee better than I thought. Sure, maybe I just had a sweet tooth that day, haha. I hadn't had coconut coffee in a while, but this time it was surprisingly delicious, haha. ## My husband's pick: the grapefruit ade at Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters ![Grapefruit ade ordered by the writer's husband](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-17-7aon7-m-900.webp) My husband, who usually likes iced Americanos, said he wanted something refreshing that day and picked the grapefruit ade. Both of our menu picks were a hit that day, so we happily sipped our drinks while window-shopping, haha. ## Pregnant customers can switch to decaf beans for free ![Notice about free decaf switch for pregnant customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-18-1ve14-900.webp) *Pregnant customers get a free switch to decaf!* Also, pregnant customers can switch to decaf beans at no extra cost, apparently. If you're pregnant and craving coffee, this is good to know! ## Looking for a café in Starfield Suwon? Why I'd return to Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters ![Coconut coffee and grapefruit ade to go](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-19-swrcd-900.webp) ![Holding drinks while walking around Starfield Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-20-1pudd-900.webp) ![Final view in front of Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe-21-15fkh-900.webp) It felt oddly nice to run into a café I'd first discovered at Hwaseong Haenggung, this time at the Starfield Suwon branch — and above all, enjoying the coconut coffee I hadn't expected to love made this visit even more memorable. That day I'd actually planned to get a coffee with ice cream on top instead of the coconut coffee, but ended up so satisfied with the coconut coffee that I felt great about my menu choice. So if you go specifically for the coconut coffee, I think you'll be even more satisfied — and even those of us who don't drink coconut coffee often might want to give it a try once. I'd recommend Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters to anyone visiting Suwon for the first time! I remember once taking a close friend's younger sibling there when she first came to Suwon, since she loves coffee so much and wanted to check it out. ## Where it is - Jeong Jiyeong Coffee Roasters Starfield Suwon Branch (정지영커피로스터즈 스타필드수원점) - 175 Suseong-ro, Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (2F Starfield Suwon) - 경기도 수원시 장안구 수성로 175 스타필드수원 2층 정지영커피로스터즈 - 37.2873375, 126.9906535 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%A7%80%EC%98%81%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EC%A6%88%20%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%80%ED%95%84%EB%93%9C%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.2873375,126.9906535,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-window-latte/suwon-starfield-coconut-coffee-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
