Coffee Myeongjuga 커피명주가

Coffee Myeongjuga operates as a self-roasting cafe within a repurposed traditional residence that once served as a neighborhood restaurant. Located at 534-10 Seongdeok-dong, Gangneung-si, the structure retains its weathered architectural character, evoking a calm atmosphere reminiscent of a classic tea house. The owner roasts coffee beans on-site and provides guidance on selecting varieties that match individual taste profiles, ranging from low-acidity options like Guatemalan beans to more aromatic selections. Hand-drip coffee is brewed with a focus on a steady extraction of aroma. The signature Myeongjuga Milk Tea features an original combination of Earl Grey and black sesame, where the floral notes of tea and the nuttiness of the sesame integrate smoothly. During the summer months, the cafe serves milk tea bingsu, made with a frozen milk tea base and various toppings including rice cakes and ice cream. Homemade desserts such as coconut cookies and freshly baked coffee bean bread are available, with the latter occasionally provided as a complimentary gesture. The outdoor courtyard offers a space to sit and experience the scent of roasting coffee in the air. Situated on the route leading to Namhanjin Beach, the cafe functions as a quiet resting point for those walking toward or returning from the shore.
