군자·능동

An eastern flagship, then a park walk.

Bonanza’s Gunja flagship gives an eastern-Seoul outing a substantial coffee anchor. Start with an espresso drink and a look at the beans, then carry on toward Children’s Grand Park. The spacious café makes more sense as a proper pause than as a quick item to cross off between subway journeys.

Give an eastern-Seoul day a substantial coffee anchor at Bonanza’s Gunja flagship. The broad glass frontage and generous room make this a place to pause, with espresso drinks and a retail bean selection offering an easy route into the roaster. Start with a coffee you know well and ask about the beans behind it. Afterward, continue along Neungdong-ro toward Children’s Grand Park for a change of pace.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

Try a flat white or espresso, and ask which Bonanza beans are available to take home.

Before you goUse 239-1 Neungdong-ro, Building B. The official English list still says 239; the current Korean list and NOL specify 239-1.
