What is the café like inside?

One side of Central Site has a glass-enclosed roasting area where you can see the roasting machine in action. Since they roast their own beans, you can really tell coffee is taken seriously here. The counter has beans and brewing tools lined up on display.

I liked that staff bring your coffee to your table after you order. There are also bench-style seats by the window that open out to the outside, which looked great for sitting outdoors on a cool day.

Central Site Hapjeong menu and prices

What caught my eye that day was the Panama Geisha. Instead of my usual americano, I ordered the Panama Geisha Black Moon. Price: ₩22,000!

Panama Black Moon Geisha: a refined cup with no sourness

That day I ordered the Panama Black Moon Geisha Washed #3 instead of my usual americano. I was surprised there was zero acidity at all. I'd expected a bright, acidic coffee, but instead it was smooth and closer to luxurious.

The bean card described notes of jasmine, bergamot, pear, peach, and lemon black tea with a subtle effervescence, and honestly, tasting it, the description wasn't an exaggeration.

They also sell the same beans in 100g bags in-store. At ₩64,000, it's definitely not a casual purchase, but it's a flavor I'd want to buy and brew again at home ㅠㅠ

Classic Tiramisu at Central Site Hapjeong

Coffee alone felt like not enough, so I also ordered the Classic Tiramisu. It's ₩8,500 and is introduced as Central Site's signature menu item.

It came with a generous layer of cocoa powder and a piece of chocolate on top. Alternating between the coffee and the tiramisu kept my palate clean.

The sponge was genuinely soft and the cream wasn't overly sweet — I could see exactly why tiramisu is their main dessert!

Parking near Central Site Hapjeong

Central Site doesn't have its own parking lot. The closest option is the Mecenatpolis underground parking lot, a 1–3 minute walk away.

Entry is allowed from 06:00 to 24:00, and you can exit 24 hours a day. Rates are ₩2,000 for the first 10 minutes, then ₩1,000 per 10 minutes after, with a daily max of ₩30,000. Entering before 10am is charged at a flat ₩17,000. This lot can get crowded during lunch hours and weekend afternoons. It's only 100–150m from Hapjeong Station Exit 2, so honestly the subway was the most convenient way to get there!!

Who will enjoy Central Site Hapjeong?

• ✔ Anyone looking for smooth specialty coffee with no acidity
• ✔ Anyone who wants to buy beans to brew at home
• ✔ Anyone who wants to enjoy coffee outdoors on a cool day
• ✔ Anyone looking for tiramisu to pair with their coffee
• ✔ Anyone who wants to bring their pet along

Final verdict on Central Site Hapjeong

Central Site was a great café for when you want to focus on the coffee itself rather than the atmosphere. The Panama Black Moon Geisha was memorable for being smooth and luxurious with no acidity, and pairing it with the Classic Tiramisu rounded out the dessert side nicely. For parking, use Mecenatpolis instead of the store itself, and since it's close to Hapjeong Station, the subway is the easiest way in. If you're looking for a café in Hapjeong? I highly, highly recommend Central Site ><!

Next time I want to buy the beans and brew them at home too.
