The five items ordered at Ward Coffee Gusan Station Branch

This time I went pretty all-out with the order 😋

• Caramelotus waffle
• Ice cream strawberry condensed milk latte
• Brownie choco latte
• Salt bread
• Cream cheese pretzel

With two drinks plus a waffle and bread, the table was packed full. If you love sweet drinks and desserts, this combo is a pretty satisfying lineup.

Once everything arrived, it looked like a proper dessert party ✨. The pink ice cream strawberry condensed milk latte and the chocolate-colored brownie choco latte sat side by side, with the caramelotus waffle, salt bread, and cream cheese pretzel arranged next to them. The portions were generous and the colors were pretty, great for photos. In particular, the ice cream and lotus crumble on top of the waffle looked sweet just from a glance 🤎

🧇 Caramel Lotus waffle

The menu item I was most excited for that day was the caramelotus waffle. On top of a golden-brown waffle sat a generous scoop of ice cream, generously covered in lotus crumble. The waffle was slightly crisp outside and soft inside! Sweet syrup was layered between the waffle sections, so it was sweet enough even on its own. Adding the cold ice cream on top made for a great warm-and-cold combo. With the signature cinnamon note and nutty flavor of lotus crumble added in, this should satisfy anyone who loves sweet desserts 🤎

🍓 Ice cream strawberry condensed milk latte

The pink visual of the ice cream strawberry condensed milk latte caught my eye first. The sweet, smooth flavor typical of strawberry lattes was deepened further by the condensed milk, giving an overall rich sweetness. There was a generous scoop of ice cream on top, so you can either eat the ice cream first or let it melt a bit and mix it into the latte. There was ice in it, so it stayed cooler than expected, and with the strawberry-and-milk combo, it seems unlikely many people would dislike it. If you prefer sweet drinks over coffee, this is worth trying 🍓

🍫 Brownie choco latte

For chocolate lovers, the brownie choco latte should be a good fit. The base choco latte itself is smooth and sweet, and it comes topped with a generous amount of whipped cream. Chocolate sauce is drizzled on top as well, so it looks like a rich chocolate drink from the start! Mixing the whipped cream into the choco latte makes the texture even smoother and creamier. Paired with dessert, the sweetness can get pretty strong, so I'd recommend this on a day you really want a sugar boost.

🥐 Salt bread (soft salted butter roll)

Amid all the sweet items, the salt bread was exactly what was needed. It's a simple, classic-style salt bread, baked golden-brown on the outside. Eating it in between bites of the sweet waffle and lattes balanced things out nicely. The soft bread with its salty touch wasn't overly rich, making it easy to eat. If you're looking for bread to go with your coffee, ordering a classic item like this alongside is a good idea.

🥨 Cream cheese pretzel

Last up, the cream cheese pretzel! This one combines the chewy texture typical of pretzels with the smooth taste of cream cheese. It felt more like a proper snack than the salt bread, and paired well with coffee or a latte. The cream cheese adds a nutty richness and makes it moister than eating the bread alone. Rather than an overly sweet dessert, this suits people who like bread-type snacks. Pairing one waffle with one bread item also makes for a good combo.
