Guui café with free parking: signature blend Americano, Center Coffee

I visited a café inside NC East Pole in Guui where you can park for free~

Where is Center Coffee Guui East Pole, and what are the hours and parking?

Center Coffee Guui East Pole (센터커피 구의이스트폴점) is on the B1 floor of NC East Pole, 402 Achasan-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 46m from Exit 3 of Guui Station on Line 2. It is open daily 10:00-22:00 with last order at 21:30, and if you park in the Guui East Pole underground car park, parking is free.

Center Coffee is famous enough to have earned a Blue Ribbon, so even on a weekday there were lots of customers.

Is the Center Coffee Guui menu different from the Gwanghwamun branch?

Looking at the Guui menu, it is set up a bit differently from the Center Coffee Gwanghwamun branch I visited not long ago.

The desserts are different too, so this time I picked the tiramisu cake, and ordered one Americano and one cold brew.

When you order, they give you a buzzer with the Center Coffee logo on it, and while waiting,

I browsed the beans Center Coffee roasts in-house here at the Guui East Pole café 👀

Then I sat down and

unboxed the Ray-Ban sunglasses I had bought at the optician's in Guui East Pole. I didn't realize Ray-Ban was that famous, but I heard they're known as the "Jennie sunglasses", so I tried them on and they were so comfortable that I bought them.

The buzzer went off, I went to pick up our order, and ta-da ✨

How does the Center Coffee Americano taste?

The Center Coffee Americano is ₩5,400 and is Center Coffee's signature blend. It didn't have that typical Americano bitterness and went down really smoothly. Since the Center Coffee at Guui East Pole roasts its own beans, I personally recommend the coffee over the other drinks.

Center Coffee decaf cold brew (₩6,500)

I had the cold brew as decaf. It has a little acidity and a pleasant bitterness, so if you like coffee, you'll probably love the cold brew Center Coffee makes in-house too.

Relaxing over coffee at the NC East Pole café in Guui on a weekday, cheers ☕️☕️

Is the Center Coffee tiramisu too rich?

The Center Coffee tiramisu is ₩8,500, and it wasn't heavy at all. It melts in your mouth, honestly so delicious. Since meeting my Ungddaki (the writer's nickname for their partner), I've tried a lot of things for the first time, and tiramisu cake is one of them. Though I haven't had many tiramisus yet!

Leftover Americano to go, with extra ice

Before heading home to rest, I asked them to put my leftover iced Americano in a takeout cup with more ice, and oh my, anyone watching would think I'd just ordered a brand-new Americano hahahahahaha

Guui East Pole parking fees and Center Coffee's free parking validation

Parking at Guui East Pole is ₩1,000 per 10 minutes and ₩6,000 per hour, but Center Coffee offers free parking, so I had my parking validated on the way out.

If you're looking for a café where you can drink freshly roasted coffee, park for free, and chat or study, I recommend Center Coffee Guui at East Pole in Guui.
