Two drinks were ordered to share during a shopping break — the nutty coconut coffee and the tangy blueberry yogurt smoothie — and the bags of beans and drip bags on the shelves were worth a look as well. Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters is a good stop for anyone who wants a rest and a coffee that tastes a little different. ## Good to know - **Location**: Basement 1 food hall, Lotte Department Store Nowon, 1414 Dongil-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul - **What we ordered**: Coconut coffee, blueberry yogurt smoothie - **Brand**: Local coffee brand that started in Haenggung-dong, Suwon - **Also on sale**: Bags of coffee beans, drip bags *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I went shopping at Lotte Department Store Nowon, and as someone who loves coffee, I couldn't just walk past a café I spotted there. ![Storefront view of Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters inside Lotte Department Store Nowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-01-urshv-1200.webp) ## Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters on basement 1 of the Lotte Department Store Nowon food hall While at Lotte Department Store Nowon, I came across Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters, known as a coffee hotspot! It's a local coffee brand that actually started in Haenggung-dong (행궁동), Suwon, and I could feel that distinct local-brand atmosphere even inside a department store, so I happily went right in. ![Entrance and brand sign of Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters Nowon branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-02-18vau-966.webp) I was glad to learn it's a local coffee brand based in Haenggung-dong, Suwon, but that I could still meet it here at Lotte Department Store Nowon. ![Café seating and atmosphere inside the department store food hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-03-e5cyj-966.webp) ![Interior display space at Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters Nowon branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-04-rcbbn-966.webp) Even inside the department store, the cozy café atmosphere was well preserved, making it a nice spot to rest for a bit. Looking at the menu, I was drawn to an unusual name and ordered the coconut coffee. ![Menu board at Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters Nowon branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-05-lkyiv-966.webp) True to a brand that roasts its own beans, the gentle smell of coffee was spreading softly throughout the store. ## How does the coconut coffee taste? Looking at the menu at Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters Nowon, I was drawn to the unusual name and ordered the coconut coffee. Taking a sip, the nutty, smooth flavor unique to coconut blended really well with the coffee for a distinctive taste. It felt a bit more exotic than a regular latte, so I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try something new. ![A cup of coconut coffee from Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-06-13fl8-966.webp) ![Coconut coffee set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-07-1q6eu-966.webp) The sweetness wasn't overdone, and the coconut aroma balanced nicely with the coffee's bitterness, making it easy to keep drinking. ## Trying the blueberry yogurt smoothie ![Blueberry yogurt smoothie from Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-08-bwfok-966.webp) Curious about something refreshing besides coffee, I also ordered the blueberry yogurt smoothie. ![Close-up view of the blueberry yogurt smoothie](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-09-vbto7-966.webp) The sweet-tart blueberry flavor blended well with the yogurt's soft tang, making it enjoyable like a dessert. The crushed ice texture was soft yet refreshing, perfect for hot weather. ![Coconut coffee and blueberry yogurt smoothie together](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-10-1r0f6-966.webp) ### Coconut coffee vs blueberry yogurt smoothie The coconut coffee has a nutty, exotic charm, while the blueberry yogurt smoothie has a refreshing, cooling charm — if you're visiting with company, splitting the two and comparing them would be a lot of fun. ## Coffee beans and drip bags on the shelves Looking around the store, I noticed bags of coffee beans and drip bags on display. ![Coffee bean bags and drip bags displayed in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-11-11reb-966.webp) I liked that beyond drinking in-store, they also sell drip bags so you can enjoy the coffee comfortably at home. ![Drip bag display shelf at Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-12-ndin9-966.webp) I've always wanted to brew my favorite café's beans at home, and thanks to the drip bag format, I could buy some without any pressure and take them home — they'd also make a nice gift. ![Drip bag packaging that makes a good gift](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-13-x7frr-966.webp) ## A shopping break at Lotte Department Store Nowon The location made it easy to access for a break while shopping. It felt special to be able to encounter a local Suwon brand from Haenggung-dong here in Nowon, and true to its reputation as a coffee hotspot, I could really feel the care put into each menu item. ![A café seat good for resting during shopping](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-14-vjk1n-966.webp) Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters was a Nowon coffee spot in the Lotte Department Store food hall where you can enjoy everything from unusual drinks like coconut coffee to refreshing ones like the blueberry yogurt smoothie. ![Table with two drinks from Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-15-bexkk-966.webp) I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a local Suwon Haenggung-dong coffee brand firsthand, or to anyone looking to try a new kind of coffee menu. ![Drink enjoyed at the café in Lotte Department Store Nowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-16-1ldpp-966.webp) ![Closing shot from Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters Nowon branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie-17-2xg3e-966.webp) ## Where it is - Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters, Lotte Department Store Nowon (정지영커피로스터즈 롯데백화점 노원점) - 1414 Dongil-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Food hall, Basement 1) - 서울특별시 노원구 동일로 1414 식품관 지하1층 - 37.6549725, 127.0612491 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%A7%80%EC%98%81%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EC%A6%88%20%EB%A1%AF%EB%8D%B0%EB%B0%B1%ED%99%94%EC%A0%90%20%EB%85%B8%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.6549725,127.0612491,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongbuk-warm-mug/nowon-lotte-coconut-coffee-blueberry-smoothie/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
