Sitting at the outdoor seats with a dog, a 7,000-won single cup of basil milk + Jeju lemon and another of Seongju Korean melon + pure milk tasted clean and true to the ingredients, with none of the artificial sweetness. Damgeum Gelato is worth a stop for anyone who finds heavily sweet desserts too much. ## Good to know - **Location**: 290-3 Misagangbyeonhangang-ro, Monolounge Unit 128, Hanam, Gyeonggi (443 m from Misa Station Exit 5) - **Gelato, single cup**: 7,000 won for two flavors (surcharge on some flavors) - **Flavors**: Seongju Korean melon (chamoe), Venezuelan single-origin dark chocolate, Jeju Chodang sweet corn, Bronte pistachio, Jeju lemon, Gyeongsan nectarine, Andong Baekjinju rice, basil milk, black label orange, Feurin Maeul makgeolli, pure milk, stracciatella - **Other menu**: Espresso, latte, Americano, homemade vin chaud, tiramisu, Chuseok cookies - **Hours**: Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat 12:30–21:30 (break 17:00–18:00); Sun 12:30–18:00 - **Closed**: Wednesdays and Thursdays - **Parking**: Free parking available - **Pets**: Welcome at the outdoor seats - **Price reference**: ₩7,000 ≈ $5.2 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ![Gelato cup from Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/damgeum-gelato-misa-pet-friendly-basil-lemon/damgeum-gelato-misa-pet-friendly-basil-lemon-01-1lj4q-966.webp) I hadn't been out to Hanam Misa in a while, so I finally visited a gelato shop I'd had bookmarked for ages. ## What kind of café is Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch?
