Tomato olive focaccia at a Gojan-dong café in Ansan: Degree Gojan

Degree is one of my favorite cafés in Gojan-dong! I stop by whenever I have plans in Gojan-dong, Ansan, or a wedding at the AW Convention Center nearby. The coffee is great and the bread is amazing too. If you're from Ansan, you probably already know this place. I order delivery from here often, and since it opens early and closes late, I end up dropping by at least once a month!

It's great that watermelon juice was still available even in September, and it's genuinely delicious.

Café Degree smells amazing with all that coffee aroma! The café space itself has a really stylish, laid-back vibe too, haha.

They sell beans here too. If you love coffee, you'll probably end up buying some beans to take home, haha. I was really curious about the September beans.

The four things ordered at Degree Gojan Branch

At Degree, this café in Gojan-dong, Ansan, I picked watermelon juice, iced Americano, chocolate baguette, and tomato olive focaccia, haha.

Watermelon juice

Café Degree's watermelon juice is genuinely delicious. It's in the style of Thailand's taeng mo pan (watermelon smoothie). It's kind of like a smoothie, kind of like a juice, and above all, there's actual watermelon in it, which makes it so good. I get why it's famous, haha. This watermelon juice is legit amazing.

Iced Americano with the nutty 'Hosu' bean

Since Café Degree is known for its coffee, you have to order coffee too, haha. I asked the staff to recommend a nutty blend.

It's a bean called Hosu, the nutty style Koreans love, and it really was nutty and genuinely delicious. I usually like to pair dessert with coffee, but this one was tasty enough to drink on its own, haha.

Tomato olive focaccia

Places that do focaccia well are rare, and few places even sell it, so it was great to get delicious focaccia at Café Degree. They cut it into nice bite-sized pieces, and the combo of olive and tomato with the fluffy bread texture was really good!

Chocolate baguette

And finally, the chocolate baguette! Everyone around me recommends Degree's chocolate baguette, and after trying it this time, I get why it's famous. The outside is crackly and the inside is moist, with chocolate jam packed inside — just the right amount of sweet and bitter, so good. Legit amazing, haha.

I was so happy to find a great spot for chocolate baguette — it's legit amazing. I already knew Degree was great for baguettes, but the chocolate baguette is insanely good too. Since they deliver, I'll have to order it again soon!
