A cup of specialty coffee in a stunning building ☕️ A place where the inspiration of space and the taste of craftsmanship coexist 🚙 —— Terrarosa Gildong branch is a space that presents the most modern interpretation of the philosophy of Terrarosa, which started out as a small roastery in Gangneung and changed Korean coffee culture. The moment you enter this store in collaboration with Hyundai Motors, you will be surprised by the overwhelming floor height, bookshelves, and geometric design. Terrarosa is a company started in 2002 by CEO Kim Yong-deok, who was a banker in Gangneung. He was the person who created a specialty wave in the instant coffee market at the time. Come to think of it, the choice of space is also unusual. It is located within the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Samcheong-dong, overlooking Gwanghwamun and Cheonggyecheon. Now that I think about it, I can feel the company's philosophy of wanting to be a place to enjoy coffee, not a place that sells coffee. Passed!

I revisited Terarosa Gil-dong branch, where the interior is very nice and the coffee, other beverages, bakery, etc. are also very delicious. The cinnamon cream latte was a work of art. Queen Aman is a bit sweet. May you prosper.

I have visited several branches including the main branch, Samseong-dong, Yeouido, Samcheong-dong, and Yedang branch, but this is my first visit to the Gil-dong branch. First of all, it has 1 and 2 floors, and Terrarosa's unique interior and space composition stands out. The seats and tables are laid out comfortably, so it doesn't feel cramped. The coffee tasted good as always. The pecan pie and lemon madeleine we ate together for dessert were also delicious. This is a space that makes you want to read a book while drinking coffee!

The second floor of the store is very spacious. Today's drip was Mexican coffee beans with a bit of acidity, and the matcha latte and Vanilla Flora are also very delicious. I want to go again. I hope you prosper.

I like that the space is spacious and comfortable. I think it would be good to bring children. It's a shame that free parking is only available for one hour.

This is my first time writing a review of the Gil-dong branch, but the store is spacious and has a high ceiling, so it is very comfortable and the coffee tastes good, so I love it. The calm atmosphere makes it easy to converse and concentrate, and the interior is well done, making it worth a look. If you drink coffee, you can park for free for one hour, so it's enough to enjoy a cup of coffee.

I ordered lemon cheesecake, affogato, and Ethiopian Yirgachepe ice. Anyway, the ice Yirgachepe was too cloudy, so I mixed it with affogato espresso and took it with me, but it was cloudy so I asked them to do it again. The man in the yellow T-shirt said that ice drip is naturally cloudy, and I know this well because I have tried it at other Terra Rosa branches. I explained that it was too cloudy, so I mixed it with espresso and brought it back. They say it should have come before the espresso was mixed, so they can't judge it because it was mixed. I felt completely offended. This is my first time in such an unfriendly place. It's spacious and I like the interior, but the service is terrible. I came here believing in a brand, but ended up spending money and feeling disappointed. The affogato ice cream is called Haagen-Dazs, but it is not Haagen-Dazs. You will know when you taste it...

I wanted to drink drip coffee, so I looked for a place nearby and ended up at Terarosa Gildong branch. Parking is available and parking assistance is available, so it's good to come when there's a car! The store has a high ceiling, so it feels open and you can enjoy looking at objects in every corner. Ordering can be done through a kiosk, and there are quite a few cafe and bakery menus, giving you plenty of choices! The decaffeinated coffee beans were Colombian Sugar Cane and I ordered them along with a cafe latte. The drip coffee cup is rather small, so I feel uneasy when I bring it in. Drip coffee has a heavy and rich body with a medium-strong roasting feel. I thought it would taste better if I adjusted the concentration and drank it. The latte had a slightly more pronounced milk taste, which was a bit disappointing. There aren't many seats compared to the size of the store, so it's likely to be crowded on weekends!

It's a large cafe in Gangdong. Parking is only available at 1 o'clock, so I can't go often, but it's a place I stop by when I eat nearby. Not to mention the coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is great. I really like it. I would go often if I could park, but I don't go often, but it's good for studying and working.

I stopped by to buy coffee beans and the atmosphere was so cool. The exposed concrete interior was also nice. It feels like I'm in an art museum. The coffee was delicious and the tiramisu was also good. It's amazing that there is such a big cafe in the city center. I think I'll come here often ^^
