Decaf lattes and iced black tea to go at a Mangwon café: Puru Papa

A café stop during a Mangwon Hangang Park picnic

☕️ I was enjoying a picnic at Mangwon Hangang Park when I started looking for a café nearby. We'd already laid out our mat and just wanted a drink to relax with, so I looked around the area — and that's how I found Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch!

If you're hunting for good spots in Mangwon-dong or a café by Mangwon Hangang Park, this one's worth checking out.

Inside Puru Papa Hangang MAPOINT Branch: how big is the shop?

Walking in, the interior wasn't very spacious. Still, it was clean and tidy, and had a decent atmosphere for grabbing drinks to go. Since we were headed back for our picnic at the river park, we decided to skip dining in and take everything to go.

Ordering five drinks at the kiosk

Ordering was convenient since it's all done through a kiosk. Browsing the menu, I saw everything from coffee to ade to tea, so we each picked what we felt like drinking.

This time we ordered 5 drinks total!

• Decaf iced americano
• Decaf condensed milk latte
• Grapefruit ade
• Iced black tea x2

I went with decaf coffee to cut back on caffeine, and picked a refreshing ade and tea to go with it.

Taking the drinks to the Han River picnic

All the drinks we ordered came packed to go. I'd been looking for something to drink while sitting on our mat at Mangwon Hangang Park, so having everything ready to carry over made picnic prep so much easier haha. It's a good spot to stop by if you just want to grab a quick drink near the river park. Now let's get into how each drink tasted.

How the Puru Papa drinks tasted ☕️

Decaf iced americano

First up, the decaf iced americano! I ordered this specifically to drink during our river picnic. It's nice that there's a decaf option when you want to enjoy coffee without the caffeine hit. A cold iced americano is such a good picnic drink haha.

Decaf condensed milk latte

Next, the decaf condensed milk latte! A condensed milk latte is great when you're craving something sweet, and this time I went with the decaf version. It's a different kind of sweet coffee compared to the iced americano, so I ordered both. This one was so sweet and slightly bitter — it just went down so smoothly.

Grapefruit ade

I ordered the grapefruit ade because I wanted something refreshing! If you're looking for something other than coffee, the ade menu is a solid option. I packed it up to drink cold during our picnic at the river park. The grapefruit ade was so refreshing and delicious haha — perfect for sipping cold!

Two iced black teas

Lastly, I ordered two iced black teas. Beyond coffee and ade, there's a tea option too, so I picked that as well. It was great for having a variety of drinks ready when picnicking with a group.
