Mangwon Market after-meal coffee: hot vs iced americano, PICT Roastery

If you're looking for a place near Mangwon Market to grab a good meal and then follow it up with really good coffee, I've got a recommendation. This time I visited PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch, which opened not too long ago. I'm pretty into coffee and like hunting down roastery cafés, and

this is a place where the coffee was genuinely delicious — it's been a while since one stuck with me like this.

Where is PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch, and where do you park?

PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch is a roastery café and dessert café located at 45 Wolgyeok-ro 23-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 1st floor. There's no dedicated parking, so I'd recommend using the Mangwon-dong public parking lot.

The store is in what feels like a semi-basement, and the overall vibe was clean and well put together. The ceiling isn't super high, but that actually makes it feel cozy for sitting down with a coffee.

Since it opened recently, the interior was spotless, and there's a restroom inside the store too, so it was easy to use comfortably. No dedicated parking, so if you're driving, the Mangwon-dong public parking lot is the easier option.

It's in a great spot for eating around Mangwon Market and then heading straight to a café afterward — for me, it was exactly the kind of place to grab a meal and then go get coffee.

What was ordered at PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch

• Hot americano
• Iced americano
• Pistachio tiramisu

Hot americano vs iced americano: how did they differ?

PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch's hot americano used beans with acidity. I tried the coffee first, and — I have to say it — this place is a legit coffee spot. It wasn't just a simple sourness; there was a subtle fruity note running through it, like the beans themselves were blended to bring out that fruitiness. If you like coffee with acidity, I think you'd really enjoy this one.

And what I especially loved was the iced americano. (The crema was insane..!!) The nutty flavor came through rich and deep, with a clean finish that kept me sipping again and again. Personally, out of all the roastery cafés I've been to, this is one of the few that really stands out. If you're looking for a good coffee shop near Mangwon Market, this is the one I'd recommend.

Is the pistachio tiramisu worth adding?

What exceeded my expectations was PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch's pistachio tiramisu. Honestly, I ordered it just thinking I'd have one dessert alongside my coffee, but

once I tried it, I was genuinely impressed. The nutty, roasty character of pistachio comes through properly, and it's creamy without being too heavy, so it paired really well with the coffee. If you're a fan of nutty desserts, this is one you should definitely order alongside your drink.

A sip of coffee, then a bite of pistachio tiramisu — the combination was just right.

So this place stuck in my memory not just as a coffee spot, but as a dessert spot near Mangwon Market too.

The restroom being inside and clean was another plus. This is a Mangwon Market coffee and dessert spot I'd love to visit again!
