Maxim Coffee House Pop-Up Store: Essential Information for Your Visit

Words, Photos, and Videos by @콩이와꽃순이

This place is super popular right now! Last Sunday, I visited the Maxim Coffee House pop-up store in Gyeongju with my child.

I went without much information, so I missed out on various experiences and events. If you're planning a trip to the Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju, these key details will be helpful.

Here's a breakdown of what I'll cover:

1. Basic Information about the Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju

2. How to Enter the Maxim Coffee House

3. Parking and Nearby Information

4. Essential Information for Visiting the Maxim Coffee House

5. Recommended Route for an Enjoyable Experience

1. Basic Information about the Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju

Address: 924 Poseok-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Operating Hours: 10:30 AM - 7:30 PM

Pop-Up Period: August 28 (Thu) - September 26 (Fri), 2025

Parking: Available (Free)

2. Entry Method and Waiting Time

I visited around 9:40 AM on Sunday, September 14th.

I had planned to go to Gyeongju the day before, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it. So, I arrived around 9:40 AM the next day, and the waiting line was already incredibly long...

Here's how to enter the Maxim Coffee House:

1. Join the waiting line to register for entry.

2. After registering, wait in the designated waiting area until your number is called.

3. Check your entry number and enter.

I waited in the entry registration line for about 30 minutes starting around 9:40 AM. After that, I had a meal and did other things until my number was called.

I waited from around 9:40 AM and spent about 30-40 minutes waiting to register for entry.

I registered for the waiting list around 10:30 AM and was able to enter about an hour later, at 11:30 AM. It was a cloudy weekend, so there might have been fewer people than usual. I recommend going early.

3. Parking and Nearby Information

The parking lot at the Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju is quite large, but it can be difficult to find a spot due to the large number of visitors. It's best to arrive early to secure parking.

If you're traveling to Gyeongju with children, you'll want to open-run, because the various activities may have lines or availability issues if you arrive later. Only one person needs to wait in the entry registration line while the rest of the family goes to eat.

Gyo-ri Gimbap is within walking distance.

Other walkable places:

4. Essential Information for Visiting the Maxim Coffee House

The Maxim My Point app is used for the stamp event in each zone. And these events are a must if you're going to visit!

1. Add “Maxim Coffee” channel on KakaoTalk to receive 20 Maxim coffee sticks or iced tea.

2. Complete the Maxim Coffee House survey to receive a Post Energy Bar Mini.

5. Recommended Route for an Enjoyable Experience

Groups of a few teams are allowed to enter at a time. Upon entering, the staff will provide an explanation of the locations and event spaces.

They will also give you a paper cup that you need to present when ordering coffee. Be sure to keep it safe!

After entering the Maxim Coffee House pop-up store in Gyeongju:

Delicious - Happy - Maxim

Delicious

Tasting Zone, Grindstone Gliding, Gabae Gimisanggung, Brazier Brewing.

Subscribe to the YouTube channel ‘Cup Channel’ and receive a stamp.

Use the cup to order a special coffee!

At the Delicious zone, you can taste Maxim Coffee House special coffees for free. The special coffees run out early, so I recommend trying them first.

The Pumpkin Latte and Mugwort Latte are sweet and delicious.

In the Delicious zone, you can participate in the stamp event by subscribing to the YouTube channel Cup Channel. Subscribing in advance might be easier.

The yellow yard is filled with various games and first-come, first-served events that parents and children can participate in.

If you're visiting the Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju with children, I recommend going early!

The Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju is a popular travel destination in September, with photo spots everywhere!

Maxim

Special packages are only available at the Maxim Coffee House (information about Maxim and gift purchases)!

Look around Maxim and get a stamp.

I went to Maxim first, but Happy has activities such as fan making. So it would be better to visit there on last.

Here you can find information about Maxim and purchase gifts such as mugs.

As you take photos here and there, the postcards turn out beautifully. It's a small but worthwhile place to visit in Gyeongju with children! However, it might be difficult for very young children.

Happy

Happy Mug, Mother-of-pearl Keyring, DIY Folk Painting Fan.

King's Study

Memories of Yellow Hanbok, Hanji Maxim Four-Cut Photos.

Post Maxim House SNS to get a stamp.

I also played jegi kicking and tuho and received a stick exchange ticket.

I took pictures overlooking the famous photo zone of Maxim Coffee House in Gyeongju.

I had a clean Americano before leaving. BTW!

After receiving the stamps, you will get a gift like this. Delicious, Happy, and Maxim.

Stamp certification from three places in the app you downloaded in advance.

If you show them when you are leaving after receiving all the stamps, they will give you a tumbler.

What is going on!!

If you can visit on a weekday and run open, you can add Maxim Coffee House to your Gyeongju travel course and enjoy traveling to Gyeongju with your child.

The next review will be about the place where even the locals can't go!! Review of visiting Aster Chrysanthemum in Geochang Gamak Mountain.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
