Kid-friendly Uiwang outlet café, lawn play & yogurt strawberry: Jeong

Looking for a place to rest with a child at Uiwang Time Villas?

It was the weekend, so I took my child to Time Villas at the Lotte Premium Outlet in Uiwang to get some fresh air.

The weather was great, so we ran around on the outdoor lawn and took a walk. Then we wanted to sit down with something cold and sweet, so we headed into the café.

Our pick was Jeong Jiyoung Coffee Roasters Lotte Premium Outlet Uiwang Branch (정지영커피로스터즈 롯데프리미엄아울렛 의왕점), well known as a go-to café at the Uiwang premium outlet. The roastery brand is hugely popular at its original Haenggung-dong shop too, so I went in with high hopes.

What are the atmosphere and seating like at Jeong Jiyoung Coffee Roasters Uiwang?

As soon as I got near the shop, that deep, nutty smell of roasted beans drifted over and put me in a good mood.

The interior has Jeong Jiyoung Coffee's signature vintage-yet-sleek, clean, smoky feel, so it stood out among the many shops in the outlet.

The seats are nicely spaced and the space is tidy, which was perfect for cooling down after shopping with a child or after a walk outdoors.

Are there high chairs?

Yes, the shop has high chairs set aside.

Beans, drip bags and merchandise display

On one side of the shop, beans, drip bags and cute merchandise were displayed in lots of varieties. The packaging is clean and pretty, so I thought they'd be great for a home café or as gifts.

Whether you come with a stroller or just with your child, you can rest comfortably here without any hassle. I'd call it a great café at the Uiwang premium outlet.

Cake selection

🍰 There's also a big range of cakes, so it would be lovely for a sweet chat over coffee and dessert after a meal.

How were the americano and yogurt strawberry?

This time we ordered an americano with a clean coffee flavor and a yogurt strawberry that's nice to share with a child.

Americano with dark-roast beans

True to Jeong Jiyoung Coffee Roasters, the americano's quality stood out. The beans' natural nuttiness and a well-balanced body filled my mouth, and from the first sip the parenting fatigue and thirst just vanished.

You can choose dark, medium or decaf beans, and I went with dark. It's a clean, rich taste that coffee lovers should like without much divide.

Yogurt strawberry shared with my child

The yogurt strawberry we ordered together was really good: thick, smooth yogurt blended nicely with a fresh, sweet strawberry base!

The sweetness isn't artificial, just pleasantly sweet, so it suits people who don't drink coffee and my child's taste perfectly. My child took a sip, said it was yummy and drank it happily, which made me proud. It's a combination that satisfies both kid and adult, so we were very happy.

Verdict: a café worth stopping at on an outlet trip with a child

If you're out at Lotte Outlet Time Villas in Uiwang or shopping there with a child, do drop by Jeong Jiyoung Coffee Roasters. The mood is stylish, and with deeply flavored coffee for adults and a fresh drink for kids, it's a perfect café at the Uiwang premium outlet.

It was a thoroughly satisfying place to relax with my child on the weekend.
