Arriving late in the evening, the cone choco latte and Chodang tofu pudding were already sold out, so the order became a dripper latte (white almond mocha) and coffee ice cream served in a cup with chocolate chips. The intended menu was missed, but the nutty white almond mocha and the coffee ice cream both delivered, and the lot fits about 13 cars. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung, Gangwon (across from Toetmaru, Chodang-dong tofu street) - **Parking**: About 13 cars in the café's own lot - **What was ordered**: Dripper latte (white almond mocha), coffee ice cream - **Coffee ice cream**: Cone or cup; cones were sold out on this visit, so cup - **Sold out**: Cone choco latte and Chodang tofu pudding, because of the late visit - **Also here**: House-roasted beans, mugs and T-shirts for sale, self-serve water, outdoor tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Main image of Coffee Dripper, a café in Chodang-dong, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-01-1e7si-1200.webp) > Coffee Dripper This is a café I visited with my husband during our trip to Gangneung. It's located in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, and I went because the signature menu sounded unique! I was disappointed I couldn't try it, but I still left satisfied — here's my Coffee Dripper review. ## Where is Coffee Dripper and is there parking? Across from Toetmaru, 13 cars Coffee Dripper is a roastery café on Nanseolheon-ro in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, right across from Toetmaru. The store's own lot fits about 13 cars, so it's easy to visit by car too. ![Exterior of Coffee Dripper, across from Toetmaru](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-02-4l4cj-900.webp) This is the exterior of Coffee Dripper, the Gangneung café. It's not a huge megacafé, but it does have a decent-sized space! I heard it's been in the same spot for over 10 years, which made me even more curious about the coffee. And knowing it's a roastery café that hand-drips coffee from its own roasted beans got my expectations up even more! ![Coffee Dripper's store parking lot fitting about 13 cars](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-03-q23oq-900.webp) The store has its own parking lot, so parking is easy too. About 13 cars can fit. ![Outdoor table seating at Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-04-2don7-900.webp) ![View of outdoor seating in front of the Coffee Dripper building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-05-7ac7a-900.webp) There are also outdoor tables, so on a nice day it'd be lovely to sit and drink outside! It was a bit chilly on the day I visited, so I went inside instead. Next time I'll come back on a nicer day and have coffee outdoors! ![Entrance leading into Coffee Dripper](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-06-13z85-900.webp) ## Goods and beans at Coffee Dripper: mugs, T-shirts, house-roasted coffee Coffee Dripper also sells goods like mugs and T-shirts, along with its own roasted coffee beans. Browsing around was fun in itself! The beans also looked like a nice gift to bring for people around you. ![Display of Coffee Dripper mugs for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-07-1hn8d-900.webp) ![Coffee Dripper T-shirt goods corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-08-1v6x1-900.webp) ![Display shelf of self-roasted coffee beans for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-09-1qlk4-900.webp) ![Interior of Coffee Dripper with wood-tone decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-10-1loaf-900.webp) ![Café interior with window and table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-11-1i1ly-900.webp) ## Inside Coffee Dripper: window seats, wall seats and a group table There's a nice variety of seating inside Coffee Dripper, right? With its cozy wood-tone interior, there are window seats and table seats in various layouts, which I liked. We sat by the wall and enjoyed people-watching outside while we relaxed. Tables can also be combined, so it looks good for group visits too! And this counter, isn't it lovely˘͈ᵕ˘͈ Watching the staff brew coffee was fun too. The coffee aroma drifting through the air was really nice. ![Counter where coffee is being brewed](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-12-nkk51-900.webp) There's water next to the counter. Water is self-serve. ୧⃛(๑⃙⃘◡̈๑⃙⃘)୨⃛ ## Late-night visit: cone choco latte and Chodang tofu pudding sold out I visited Coffee Dripper a bit later in the evening, and a lot of menu items were sold out. I'd been curious about the cone choco latte and the Chodang tofu pudding, but both were sold out ㅠㅠㅠ So instead I ordered a dripper latte and coffee ice cream. Please have the cone choco latte for me... 🥹 ![Self-serve water station next to the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-13-6i0yj-900.webp) ![Coffee Dripper's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-14-1k4yr-900.webp) ![Ordered coffee ice cream and dripper latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-15-1l1y8-900.webp) Here's the coffee ice cream and dripper latte we got after ordering. I was disappointed I couldn't drink what I originally wanted, but the ice cream and dripper latte were satisfying too. And honestly, don't they look pretty? ## Coffee ice cream in a cup instead of a cone, topped with chocolate chips Ta-da, here's Coffee Dripper's coffee ice cream. This one also comes in a cone or cup option, but since they didn't have cones during my visit, I had it in a cup. Even in a cup, it felt neat and satisfying! ![Coffee ice cream served in a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-16-1dsyy-900.webp) Sweet chocolate chips are scattered generously over the soft coffee ice cream! The slightly bitter coffee ice cream paired really well with the chocolate chips, so I kept stealing bites from my husband's cup haha. The portion was pretty generous too, which I liked. ![Close-up of coffee soft serve topped with chocolate chips](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-17-e6mng-900.webp) ## How the dripper latte tastes: the nutty white almond mocha This is Coffee Dripper's drip coffee. Maybe because it's a white almond mocha coffee, it was sweet, nutty, and really well-balanced! It had a different kind of nuttiness compared to other cafés, which made the coffee feel distinctly fresh. ![A cup of white almond mocha dripper latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-18-fkmgx-900.webp) ![Dripper latte placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-19-j9p77-900.webp) ## A Gangneung café worth a stop after tofu on Chodang-dong's tofu street This was my Coffee Dripper review — I couldn't try the menu I originally wanted, but the other items I ordered instead were really satisfying. It's also located on Gangneung's tofu street, so it looks like a great stop after a meal there. I recommend Coffee Dripper as a Gangneung café! I'll come back with my husband later and finally try the tofu pudding! ![Final shot of drinks and ice cream on the Coffee Dripper table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream-20-3ed8v-900.webp) ## Where it is - Coffee Dripper (커피드립퍼) - 229-4 Nanseolheon-ro, 1st floor, 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/@sokcho-window-cup/gangneung-coffee-dripper-late-visit-ice-cream/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
