Seated at the garden-view bar table, we ordered one of each: the dripper latte at 6,500 won, coffee ice cream at 7,000 won, Chodang soft tofu pudding at 7,000 won and the yuja (citron) financier at 3,500 won, and dipping the financier deep into the yuja sauce was the favourite combination. Coffee Dripper is a good stop when you want good coffee and a Gangneung-style dessert in one sitting. ## Good to know - **Location**: 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, 1st floor, Chodang-dong, Gangneung, Gangwon - **Dripper latte**: 6,500 won (white chocolate and almond cream latte, the signature) - **Coffee ice cream**: 7,000 won - **Chodang soft tofu pudding**: 7,000 won (with raspberry sauce) - **Yuja financier**: 3,500 won (served with yuja sauce) - **Parking**: Private lot right in front of the café - **Seating**: Garden-view bar table, indoor seats by floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor tables - **Notable for**: Roastery café that roasts its own beans *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Main image of Coffee Dripper café in Chodang-dong, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-01-1gpoz-900.webp) When you travel to Gangneung, you've got to see the sea and eat good food, but stopping at a café for coffee and dessert in between is non-negotiable too. This time I went to Coffee Dripper, a Gangneung café recommendation with not just great coffee but a whole range of desserts. ## Where is Coffee Dripper in Chodang-dong, and is there parking? Coffee Dripper is a café where you can enjoy coffee and dessert together, located at 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, 1st floor, in Chodang-dong, Gangneung. There's a dedicated parking lot right in front of the shop, so if you're driving you can park right there. ![Exterior of Coffee Dripper café in Chodang-dong, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-02-96b7v-900.webp) ![Dedicated parking lot in front of Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-03-m2gjf-900.webp) There's a dedicated lot right in front of the shop so you can park immediately, and since it's right in front of the store, parking was easy and convenient. ![Coffee Dripper entrance with lush green garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-04-1veq9-900.webp) ![Ivory and wood-toned exterior view of Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-05-ceyf5-900.webp) The lush green garden visible outside paired with the ivory-and-wood interior vibe was so pretty~ ## Inside Coffee Dripper: garden-view bar table and window seats The inside of Coffee Dripper is almost all floor-to-ceiling glass so sunlight pours in beautifully, and with palm-like trees inside too it had a real overseas vibe. The café is spacious, and I liked that sense of roominess~ ![Sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows inside Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-06-ypziu-900.webp) ![Indoor seating at Coffee Dripper with a palm-like tree](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-07-ldr1h-900.webp) The interior is almost all floor-to-ceiling glass so the sunlight streaming in was so pretty, and with palm-like trees it had such an overseas feel that it was even more beautiful!! The café's spaciousness was also a plus~ ![Interior of Coffee Dripper, a roastery café that roasts its own beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-08-1scbh-900.webp) It's especially a roastery café that makes coffee with its own roasted beans, so it seemed like a great place for coffee lovers to check out 👍 ![Bar table at Coffee Dripper facing the outdoor garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-09-1447p-900.webp) There was also a bar table facing the outdoor garden, and we sat there because we loved the view of the blue sky and green garden 😚 ![Garden view from the bar table at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-10-1gfpd-900.webp) ![Outdoor table seating at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-11-1fmjk-900.webp) The outdoor table seats looked great too, but the sunlight was unusually strong that day so we ate inside! ## What the Coffee Dripper menu offers Looking at the Coffee Dripper menu, besides the basic coffee items there were distinctive drinks unique to Coffee Dripper. In particular there were desserts worth trying in Gangneung, like a pudding made with Chodang soft tofu, which made this a good pick to feature as a Gangneung café recommendation. ![Drink and dessert menu board at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-12-bm8yy-676.webp) ![Pastries displayed in the dessert case at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-13-4uw2f-m-900.webp) Walking inside, the first thing that caught my eye was the uniquely-shaped baked goods, and since I've been really into yuja or lemon pound-cake-type treats lately, I ordered the yuja financier haha ## What we ordered at Coffee Dripper and what it cost At Coffee Dripper we ordered one each of dripper latte 6,500 won, coffee ice cream 7,000 won, Chodang soft tofu pudding 7,000 won, and yuja financier 3,500 won. Once the menu items all arrived together, with coffee, ice cream, pudding, and financier all on the table, it was fun trying a bit of each~ ![Table spread of latte and desserts ordered at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-14-19kpz-1200.webp) - Dripper Latte ₩6,500 - Coffee Ice Cream ₩7,000 - Chodang Soft Tofu Pudding ₩7,000 - Yuja Financier ₩3,500 ### Dripper latte, 6,500 won ![Coffee Dripper's signature Dripper Latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-15-12zr5-900.webp) The dripper latte is 6,500 won, Coffee Dripper's signature latte with white chocolate and almond cream, so I picked it ![Close-up of the Dripper Latte topped with almonds](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-16-nks1p-900.webp) The texture and nutty flavor of the almonds on top went really well with the sweetness of the white chocolate, so it was a delicious, sweet latte~ ### Coffee ice cream, 7,000 won ![Coffee ice cream at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-17-u274e-900.webp) Coffee ice cream is 7,000 won. It was hot out so I wanted coffee but also something sweet and cool, and this coffee ice cream caught my eye right away haha ![Spoonful of coffee ice cream being eaten](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-18-ztii7-900.webp) The pleasantly cool coffee ice cream was exactly what you'd expect from a well-known coffee ice cream, but it felt even softer and more luxurious, so my spoon kept going back for more haha ### Chodang soft tofu pudding, 7,000 won ![Chodang soft tofu pudding at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-19-vvose-900.webp) Chodang soft tofu pudding is 7,000 won. Since we came to Gangneung, you just can't pass up a dessert with 'Chodang' in the name haha. I was curious how a pudding made with Chodang soft tofu would differ from a regular pudding ![Chodang soft tofu pudding with raspberry sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-20-nn7bs-900.webp) It had that soft, cloudy pudding texture but genuinely tasted like soft tofu, which paired well with the raspberry sauce — a memorable, unique dessert even though it's tofu! ### Yuja financier, 3,500 won: dipping it in the yuja sauce ![Yuja financier at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-21-1l33z-900.webp) The yuja financier (citron-flavored French almond cake) is 3,500 won. I ordered it to have alongside coffee, and the combination of financier with yuja gave it a totally different feel from the financiers I usually eat~ ![Yuja sauce served alongside the yuja financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-22-cqs0g-900.webp) ![Financier dipped deep into the yuja sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-23-f4dun-900.webp) That's because they gave us this yuja sauce to drizzle on, and when I dipped it in deep enough to really soak it, the tangy-sweet, soft financier was completely my style, so I genuinely enjoyed it>< ## Who will like Coffee Dripper in Chodang-dong, Gangneung? ![Final shot of the coffee and dessert spread at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier-24-1j9wo-900.webp) Ordering coffee alongside the Chodang soft tofu pudding and the financier, both worth trying in Gangneung, made for a lineup that was perfect for us dessert lovers. Gangneung has plenty of famous large cafés, but enjoying self-roasted coffee together with a variety of desserts in one space was a different kind of fun! If you're looking for a Gangneung café recommendation where you can have a cup of coffee and enjoy a variety of desserts during your Gangneung trip, give Coffee Dripper in Chodang-dong a try~ ## Where it is - Coffee Dripper (커피드립퍼) - 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, 1st floor, Chodang-dong, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 난설헌로 229-4 1층 - 37.7926896, 128.9144187 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%93%9C%EB%A6%BD%ED%8D%BC/@37.7926896,128.9144187,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-banchan-stroll/gangneung-chodang-cafe-yuzu-financier/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
