Review of the New Starbucks near Tongdosa Temple with a Beautiful Garden


Here's a review of the newly opened large Starbucks with a garden near Tongdosa Temple.
📍 Hours:
Sun-Thurs: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Fri-Sat: 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM
🅿️ Two dedicated parking lots (with parking attendants)
Starbucks Tongdosa branch opened a few months ago!
It used to be a private cafe, but somehow it turned into a Starbucks.
At first, it was too crowded, so I thought I should go after a while, and I happened to have something to do at Tongdosa Temple, so I stopped by!
I thought the parking lot right in front was too small, but there was a second parking lot across the street. haha
Passing the main building with a triangular roof and walking to the right, you'll find the annex. The small pond right in front is full of lotus flowers!
Up close, they are the size of a human head!
There were many outdoor seats in the large lawn garden, but it's too hot now, so no way.
Main Building
The ceiling is high and it has glass walls, so it was nice to have a sense of openness.
I think it would be really nice to come in spring or fall.
There were no seats on the first floor, so I went up to the second floor of the main building.
There are terrace seats and group seats on the second floor.
Someone was sitting right in the center studying here. Amazing how they can concentrate in such a noisy place.
Mountain view from the 2nd floor terrace.
I should come back around autumn and sit on the terrace and enjoy the autumn foliage!
They also have a morning set and evening drink discounts.
The goods collaborated with the National Museum of Korea this time!!
There were so many pretty things.
The Pensive Bodhisattva that goes under the cup and glows in the dark, which is already sold out, was of course sold out!
They kindly guide you to the photo spots.
They also sell bread baked directly in the store every day.
There were many menus I wanted to try, but after a hearty Korean beef meal,
I just had a simple Americano and the new Iced Roasted Macadamia Latte!
It was nutty and delicious.
Next time, I should go on a weekday opening run and have a healing time with the morning set!
