About

Kaffe Kiwa is a coffee shop set in a 130-year-old hanok with a garden, and the interior of Kaffe Kiwa is decorated throughout with props that give it the feel of a vintage shop. Kaffe Kiwa makes three signature lattes in house: the Kiwa Black Latte tops grain milk and espresso with black sesame cream, the Mung Bean Flower Latte layers sweet-and-salty cream over mung bean milk and cold brew, and the Flower Pink Latte adds cold brew to strawberry milk.

Hand-drip coffee at Kaffe Kiwa can be ordered with a house blend, single-origin Guatemala or Ethiopia beans, or decaf. Kaffe Kiwa uses its own homemade fruit syrups in the lemon, grapefruit and ginger teas, the ades and the yogurt smoothies, and serves mugwort injeolmi toast and slices of cake for dessert. From Kaffe Kiwa, Gyeongpodae, Songjeong Beach, Gangmun Beach and the Anmok Beach café street are about 5 minutes by car, and Chodang Sundubu Village is close by.
