假日下午人蠻多的,很容易客滿。 自助機器刷卡點餐,有中文,但翻譯的不是很好。 第一次喝到濟州島的青橘醬AD,比柚子醬還好喝。 當天去的時候,麵包種類不多。

홀리데이인광주 옆에 있는 카페- 숙소 근처 카페가 여기 뿐인 것 같아서 검색해봤는데 후기가 너무 좋아서 체크아웃하고 잠깐 테이크아웃으로 들렸다 개인적으로 로스터스라고 써진 카페들을 선호하는데 뭔가 프라이드 있고 내공이 느껴진달까...?! 게다가 여긴 커피만 집중판매가 아니라 베이커리는 아우어 느낌으로 있고~ 케이크도 피오니 느낌으로 있다. 버터프레첼이랑 아이스라떼 함께 먹었는데 아우어보다 훨씬 빵은 부드럽고 버터도 과하지 않다. 원두 종류도 많아서 디카페인 마시고 싶었는데 있어서 좋았고 그 이름이 “편안한” 이라서 더 좋았다. 다음에 광주 가게 되면 앉아서 여유롭게 이것 저것 시켜먹어보고 싶다.

게스트바리스타 행사로 처음 가보게 된 카페304에요. 커피가 맛있기로 유명한 304에서 행사까지 하니 사람이 매우 많았어요. 행사 특별 메뉴가 있었는데 가격은 비싼편이었어요. 에스프레소를 마셔본적이 없는데 이 곳에서 처음 마셔본 에스프레소는 이게 커피구나! 라는 것을 느꼈어요. 처음엔 행을 맡고 이후에 잔을 돌려서 크레마를 깨서 마시기. 이후에 설탕을 1/3 넣어서 쓴맛없이 마시기. 텁텁함 없이 감칠맛이 나는 커피였어요. 커피를 주문하고 받을때 어떻게 마셔야하는지 섬세하게 하나씩 설명주셔서 알고마시니 더욱 맛있는 것도 같았어요. 두개의 다른 원두에서 각 특징이 잘 나와서 어울러지는 것도 좋았어요. 천혜향과 청도같은 맛이 나는 원두는 어떨지 궁금했는데 신기하게도 딱 그맛이 나더라구요.
