Pour-Over Coffee in Gangneung: Seaside Cups and Beans to Explore

If you want to choose a cup by the bean's name, consider Bohemian Coffee Gyeongpo Branch on Surigol-gil in Gangneung. This pour-over specialist serves blends and coffees from several origins. Panama and Guatemala Geisha sit side by side on the menu, making it an option for anyone curious about the same variety grown in different places.

The menu descriptions help you choose. Bohemian Blend highlights a balance of nuttiness and bitterness; Tokyo Blend emphasizes a dark roast and smoky aroma. Ethiopia is described as having bright acidity. It is easy to match these to your preferences, whether you want familiar nutty flavors or a different aroma.

The recommended driving route from Anmok Beach is 6.9km. It suits a trip for the beans more than an immediate extension of a beach walk. The café closes at 17:00, which limits late-afternoon plans.

After choosing your beans, you can select strong, medium or light. Laid Back in Gangneung's Ponam-dong lists 7 pour-over beans and a choice of brew strength. If coffee usually tastes too strong to you, you can choose light. Your order can reflect the strength you want.

The Smart Order menu includes a Home Blend, Chelbesa Washed and Colombia Potosi Natural. The latter two are worth a look if you are interested in beans processed in different ways. A cup costs ₩6,500–9,000, depending on the beans.

A 4.9km driving route from Anmok brings you to this café in town. Free parking in front holds only 3 cars, leaving little room for groups arriving in several vehicles. The chance to choose both beans and strength gives you a reason to make the trip.

Bossa Nova Coffee Roasters Gangneung Branch is close if you want to keep your seaside walk going. It is a 242m walk from the Anmok Beach map pin. Being able to have pour-over without driving to another neighborhood is a clear draw.

The listed menu describes barista-made pour-over using beans from several origins. A cup costs ₩6,500–7,300, and bread is sold too. While you choose your coffee, your companion can choose bread. It suits a visit with people who want to relax with a sea view.

Official information describes different sea views on each floor and a rooftop. Parking is in the public beach lot in front of the café. Unlike a dedicated café lot, it is shared with beach visitors.

Gangneung Coffee Myeongjuga in Byeongsan-dong brews coffee with beans roasted in-house. It is 2.3km from Anmok Beach by the driving route. Consider it when you want to leave the beach without heading as far as Gujeong-myeon.

Hot and iced pour-over have separate prices. A hot cup costs ₩6,500; iced costs ₩7,000. An iced cup costs ₩500 more, making it easy to budget when everyone orders their preferred temperature.

There is also heugimja (black sesame) milk tea for companions who do not drink coffee. The menu describes its milk tea base and syrup as house-made. The café closes at 21:00 Tuesday through Saturday and at 18:00 on Sunday. Sunday, the festival's final day, therefore has an earlier closing time than those other days.

Terarosa Coffee Factory Gangneung Main Branch in Gujeong-myeon is 13km from Anmok by the driving route. It is the farthest from the beach of these five places. Think of it as a destination for enjoying the main branch's space, rather than a quick café stop during a walk.

Pour-over appears among its signature menu items, with prices listed as variable. Visitors also describe enjoying the spacious café and bakery. If looking around the space is part of the pleasure, it may merit a separate trip.

The dedicated parking lot is free. That is an advantage over cafés using shared beach parking. Still, a large café does not necessarily mean a quiet one. Reviews also describe crowds and difficulty finding seats.
