I tried its shot-added Signature Latte, Lemon Caramel Latte, Deep Matcha Latte, Shanghai Butter Tteok, and Red Velvet Cake. Verdict: a sweet riverside break worth adding to a Han River walk. ## Good to know - **Soft-serve ice cream**: ₩3,900 - **Americano beans**: 4 options - **Latte milk bases**: 6 options: Sangha Farm organic milk, aged milk, Denmark milk, high-protein soy milk, oat milk, and lactose-free milk - **Address**: 435 Maponaru-gil, MAPOINT Naru 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 마포구 마포나루길 435 MAPOINT나루 1층) *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Atmosphere during a visit to Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-01-1kuw7-900.webp) ## Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch with a Han River sunset Puru Papa, famous for its ice cream lattes and the perfect hideout for a sweet break alongside the Han River's red sunset, has opened at Hangang MAPOINT Branch too. ![Exterior of Puru Papa café by the Han River](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-02-1ovrl-900.webp) ![Scenery around Hangang MAPOINT Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-03-1hjx3-900.webp) ![Café scene enjoying a Han River sunset](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-04-1y8tk-900.webp) The outdoor seats take in the cute duck boats lined up along the riverbank, the shimmering water, and the sunset slowly turning gold all at once. It is a healing spot more than enough to blow away the stresses of daily city life in an instant. ![Han River outdoor seating and duck boats](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-05-1kl88-900.webp) ![Outdoor relaxation area at Hangang MAPOINT Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-06-1d1bi-900.webp) ![Café seats facing the Han River](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-07-d6oxx-900.webp) ## Latte menu with beans and milk to choose from Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch's greatest strength is its broad menu lineup, which can reflect each customer's preferences in detail. Its Americanos made with four carefully selected beans offer plenty to satisfy coffee lovers, and the latte milk bases are equally impressive. ![Puru Papa coffee and latte menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-08-16emu-900.webp) There are no fewer than six choices: Sangha Farm organic milk, Puru Papa's special aged milk, clean-tasting Denmark milk, filling high-protein soy milk, nutty oat milk, and lactose-free milk for those with lactose intolerance. Everyone can enjoy a Signature Latte comfortably and deliciously. ![Guide to choosing a latte milk base](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-09-67kt4-900.webp) ![Puru Papa latte menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-10-xdm4d-900.webp) Along with reasonably priced soft-serve ice cream for just ₩3,900, the menu is packed with unusual drinks such as Coconut Cloud and a variety of ice cream offerings—enough to leave you happily torn over what to choose. ![Soft-serve ice cream and unusual drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-11-15rqd-900.webp) ## Han River menu to enjoy from day to night On this visit, I ordered a generous spread of Puru Papa's best items to properly experience what it does best. ![Puru Papa order](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-12-1uxhd-900.webp) They also sell beer, chimaek (fried chicken with beer), and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) at reasonable prices, so keep that in mind. In the daytime, enjoy a sweet ice cream latte and dessert in the cool river breeze; in the evening, as the red sunset deepens, pair a cold draft beer with tteokbokki or chicken and take in the romantic Han River night view. It is a perfect place for both. ![Beer, fried chicken, and tteokbokki menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-13-11g64-900.webp) ![Han River night view and pub-menu atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-14-lmt80-900.webp) ## I chose Lemon Caramel Latte and Deep Matcha Latte I chose a hot Signature Latte with an extra shot for a fuller pleasantly bitter flavor, an iced Lemon Caramel Latte where bright citrus and caramel sweetness come together in an intriguing way, and an iced Signature Deep Matcha Latte with an excellent rich green-tea flavor. ![Signature Latte and Lemon Caramel Latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-15-2rf9q-900.webp) ![Iced Signature Deep Matcha Latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-16-5fh85-900.webp) ## Chewy Shanghai Butter Tteok and Red Velvet Cake The desserts, too, boast a finish that rivals a specialist bakery. ![Puru Papa dessert menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-17-k3gs3-900.webp) ![Shanghai Butter Tteok and Red Velvet Cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-18-1chwj-900.webp) I made the spread complete with Shanghai Butter Tteok and Red Velvet Cake. The Shanghai Butter Tteok was a real treat. It looks golden and crisp on the outside, like a madeleine or baked pastry, but one bite reveals tteok's distinctive springy, chewy texture as a rich, nutty butter flavor bursts across the mouth. It was a perfect match for the warm Signature Latte or the lively freshness of the Lemon Caramel Latte. The Red Velvet Cake was layered, rich yet soft and sweet. Taking the drinks in their pickup carrier, I stepped outside, ![Han River view and Lemon Caramel Latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte-19-1psf6-1200.webp) ## A sweet afternoon with a Han River view The pleasantly bitter, creamy sweetness of Puru Papa's new Lemon Caramel Latte, sipped with the wide-open Han River view before me, transformed an ordinary busy afternoon into a special moment. Leaning back in a deck chair while watching duck boats drift leisurely across the river, I even felt as though I had traveled far away—and became so immersed in the relaxed mood that I lost track of time. Detail-rich specialty lattes, unusual chewy desserts such as Shanghai Butter Tteok that delight the palate, and hearty pub dishes to satisfy a hunger pang—this weekend, I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing an unforgettable sweet healing time at Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch, where the dazzling romance of the Han River meets a feast of captivating flavors. ## Where it is - Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch (푸르파파 한강마포인트점) - 435 Maponaru-gil, MAPOINT Naru 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 마포구 마포나루길 435 MAPOINT나루 1층) - 서울특별시 마포구 마포나루길 435 MAPOINT나루 1층 - 37.5536274, 126.8957295 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%91%B8%EB%A5%B4%ED%8C%8C%ED%8C%8C%20%ED%95%9C%EA%B0%95%EB%A7%88%ED%8F%AC%EC%9D%B8%ED%8A%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5536274,126.8957295,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@receipt-fold-seoul/mangwon-hangang-lemon-caramel-latte/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
