Going here was one way to effectively kill time at the airport, especially when I had to arrive at twilight for the COVID test and stay there for 8 hours because my flight was in the evening.
I like pleasantly sweet drink so I ordered a hot vanilla latte for 6,000 KRW. The female barista was a quiet type and swift in completing my order. While waiting, I really enjoyed looking around the coffee shop. Its decoration was suitable for the winter season and there were wooden shelves displaying seasonal merch mugs and bottles. The drink was served hot and wrapped in a cute small plastic cup. I thought the festive cup sleeve was beautifully designed and put me in Christmas mood.

Darn it! It was not a good experience a Korean discriminated...
Read moreThere are plenty of coffee stops in the airport, you can just skip this one. The service was horrible, the front counter stuff was rude. My order number was 1203, when they called my number, I just crabbed my order and the next second, the staff took my order directly from my hand, and told me these are not my order.
I showed her my receipt and she returned my order without an apology, and just turned around and continued doing whatever she was doing.
The payment counter and the pick up counter are very confusing, I was at the wrong counter because I didn't know where I should make the payment. The rude staff showed me the right counter impatiently.
