Hapjeong roastery café: fruit-basket Tamiru drip, Central Site

If you're looking for a famous coffee spot near Hapjeong Station, try Central Site Hapjeong. They roast their beans in the shop, so you can even watch the roasting machine run. If you want a real coffee place in Hapjeong rather than some half-baked "social media vibe" café, this is the one I'd recommend. I had delicious drip coffee and tiramisu, and I'm leaving this review to recommend it. ❤️

Central Site Hapjeong hours, parking and pets

Central Site Hapjeong is open Mon–Fri 08:00–22:00 and Sat–Sun 08:30–22:00, and it's near Exit 2 of Hapjeong Station. Parking isn't possible, so public transport is the easier way to get there.

Central Site, famous in Yeonnam, has opened a branch in Hapjeong too...☕ And apparently pets are allowed!

A roastery café in Hapjeong that roasts in-store

Central Site Hapjeong is a cozy, comfortable café. The smell of coffee beans hits you the moment you walk in, apparently because they roast the beans right in the shop.

Central Site Hapjeong is a local roastery and hand drip specialist, so you can find beans and brewed coffee from all over the world, specialty coffee included. You can watch the hand drip being made right in front of you. Seeing the roasting machine turn too, you really feel you've come to a proper coffee place...❤️

Corner terrace seats and a bar table for solo visits

The terrace seats out front are especially good! Because it sits on a corner, it's an even nicer Hapjeong terrace café. It was comfortable to sip coffee while watching people walk by. On a nice day, this seat puts you in a good mood...🌿

Inside there's also a bar table. It's a good setup for coming alone and drinking your coffee at leisure.

What's on the menu at Central Site Hapjeong?

Central Site is built around hand drip. There are many kinds of beans, so it's fun to pick by your own taste. Besides hand drip there are basic drinks like an Americano, and the signature dessert is the tiramisu.

I ordered three things. 🤎

• Ethiopia Tamiru
• Guatemala Entre Volcanes 2026 Washed
• Tiramisu

Ethiopia Tamiru: a drip like a fruit basket

☕ The Ethiopia Tamiru is a coffee like a fruit basket. Cup notes: strawberry, jasmine, nectarine, malic acid, apricot, melon, crisp.

The fruit comes up first in the aroma. Strawberry, nectarine, apricot and melon come in layers, with a faint floral jasmine following. There's an acidity like malic acid, but it doesn't stick out and finishes crisp and clean. It feels like eating fruit even though it's coffee...🍓

Guatemala Entre Volcanes 2026 Washed: the nutty, sweet side

☕ The Guatemala Entre Volcanes 2026 Washed is a completely different kind of coffee from the Tamiru. Cup notes: hazelnut, butterscotch, milk chocolate.

Nutty hazelnut comes first, with butterscotch-like sweetness backing it up. After you drink it, a soft milk-chocolate finish lingers. If you prefer nutty and sweet to coffee with sharp acidity, this is probably your taste...🍫

Does the signature tiramisu go with the drip?

🍰 Central Site's signature tiramisu is such a good combo with hand drip. The sponge at the bottom is moist and soaked with coffee, and the top has chocolate and cocoa powder! It's not tiramisu in name only, it's the real thing, so even people who are picky about desserts should be happy.

Worth visiting the Hapjeong branch even if you've been to Yeonnam?

Central Site Hapjeong is a roastery café famous for hand drip that I stumbled on while looking for a good coffee place near Hapjeong Station. The fruity Ethiopia Tamiru, the nutty-sweet Guatemala Entre Volcanes and the tiramisu that goes perfectly with coffee all satisfied me. If you love hand drip, it's a Hapjeong café worth coming to even if you've been to the Yeonnam one. If you want a real coffee place, I highly recommend it 🤎
