Songpa takeout café: einspänner & Wundergato at Wunder Coffee Bar

When you're shopping at Garden5 and suddenly want a cup of coffee, where do you head?

Usually we go straight for a familiar franchise café. This time I looked at somewhere a bit different, where you can enjoy unusual coffee and ice cream together: Wunder Coffee Bar Hyundai Outlet Garden5 branch.

Besides the usual americano and latte, there's hojicha (roasted green tea) ice cream and a signature menu that combines coffee with ice cream, so it's worth a look if you love desserts.

Where is Wunder Coffee Bar in Garden5?

Wunder Coffee Bar is at 66 Chungmin-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the B1 floor of Hyundai Outlet Garden5. It was easy to find, which I liked.

It's close to Jangji Station Exit 4, so it's convenient by public transport too. The shop is near the escalators on B1, which makes it a good place to pick up coffee or dessert in the middle of your shopping route.

Does Wunder Coffee Bar have seating?

Wunder Coffee Bar is mostly for takeout rather than a big café where you settle in for hours. If you want to sit and eat, you can use the shared seating at the nearby food square.

What are Wundergato and hojicha ice cream?

The menu items worth noticing at Wunder Coffee Bar are the Wundergato and the hojicha ice cream.

Wundergato is an affogato-style dish: espresso served together with ice cream. Its charm is getting the bittersweet coffee flavor and the sweet, smooth ice cream at the same time.

You can choose the ice cream as vanilla, hojicha, or a mix of the two.

Vanilla suits people who like a familiar, smooth taste, while hojicha suits those who prefer the nutty, subtle flavor of tea. If you can't decide between the two, you can always go for the mix.
