When you have plans near Guui Station or want a rest after shopping, it's surprisingly hard to find a place you really like, but this one left quite an impression on me.

I came while searching for a good dessert café around Guui Station, and the wide, pleasant space gave off a relaxed feeling from the moment I walked in. It feels a bit different from the busy franchise cafés, and seems like a good fit for people who want to spend time calmly.

This time I ordered an iced plum omija tea (omija is a tart-sweet five-flavor berry), an iced matcha latte and a hot chamomile, and each had a distinct personality, so picking among them was fun. I could also watch each drink being carefully prepared, which made it even more satisfying.

What are the space and interior like?

A wide, open space

The first thing I noticed was the sense of space. Tables are spaced more generously than at a typical café, so conversations at the next table barely bothered me. The ceiling is high and the minimalist interior keeps things from feeling cramped. It felt like a small resting spot in the middle of the city.

It looked versatile: good for reading or working on a laptop alone, and relaxed enough for chatting with a friend.

Clean wood-tone interior

The overall interior is built around wood tones. The warm color of the wood makes the space feel even more comfortable. The chairs and tables are designed with a consistent look, and the lighting isn't overdone, so it's easy on the eyes. I really didn't get tired even sitting for a long time.

Wow, when I took photos, the colors of the drinks matched the wood background so well that the shots came out naturally moody.

A good lineup for drinks and desserts together

The showcase held a variety of desserts, including scones and cakes. It's not a place that only sells coffee, and I liked that it's a café that pairs well with desserts. The menu isn't plain either, and with seasonal items too, it seems you could try something new every visit.

If you found this post by searching for a Guui Station café with desserts, there seem to be plenty of options to satisfy you.

What should you drink instead of coffee? Comparing three non-coffee drinks

Iced plum omija tea: refreshing and not too sweet

The first drink was Center Coffee's iced plum omija tea. The faint red hue spreading through the glass caught my eye right away.

On the first sip, the freshness of plum and the sweet-sour flavor of omija blended naturally. It isn't too sweet, so it's easy to enjoy. With the ice, the refreshing feel came through even more, making it a great pick for hot weather.

Iced matcha latte: the best cup of this visit

Personally, the iced matcha latte was what satisfied me most at Center Coffee Guui East Pole. The vivid green color already hinted at the richness of the matcha.

The softness of the milk and matcha's characteristic bitterness were nicely balanced, so I could drink it cleanly without any chalkiness.

The matcha aroma was deeper than I expected, so I think matcha lovers will be quite satisfied. It felt like it highlighted the true charm of matcha rather than sweetness.

Hot chamomile: a warm way to finish

The hot chamomile I had last was perfect for a warm finish.

Watching the chamomile tea bag slowly steep in the cup made my mind feel calm too. A faint floral scent spread through my mouth and gently eased the tension. I'd recommend it when you want to enjoy a relaxed time at a café.

What are ordering and service like?

You order at a kiosk, and the drink preparation can be seen in an open area. The staff were friendly and calm overall. Ordering wasn't difficult and the kiosk was convenient, so even first-time visitors can use it without worry.

What impressed me (so good!) was that drinks were made neatly even during busy hours. Overall I got the impression that the place is well managed.

Is Center Coffee Guui East Pole a quiet café?

If I had to sum up the atmosphere in one word, it would be "leisure." It's in the middle of a busy city, but once you step inside, time seems to slow down a bit. The openness from the wide seating layout and high ceiling is really appealing.

It's good for going alone, fine as a date spot, and works for a quick meeting or studying. I thought it was a perfect space to stay quietly and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Is Center Coffee Guui East Pole worth visiting as a Guui Station café?

If you're looking for a dessert café near Guui Station, Center Coffee Guui East Pole is well worth a visit. The wide, pleasant space, the moody wood-tone interior and the varied drink lineup gave me high overall satisfaction.

The iced matcha latte left a strong impression with its rich matcha flavor, and the iced plum omija tea was a refreshing mood lifter. With the warm hot chamomile too, everyone can pick a drink to suit their taste, which is another plus.

I think people who like staying long at cafés will like it even more. The seats are well spaced and the space itself feels relaxed, so it was easy to spend time comfortably. Desserts are available too, so pairing them with a drink looked good.

It honestly felt like I'd found a place to rest without any pressure for the first time in a while. If you need a meeting spot near Guui Station, want to spend time quietly, or are searching for a dessert café there, I recommend dropping by at least once!
