Stepping into Ten Thousand Coffee popular Korean-style cafe, you're immediately drawn to the buzz around their famous Einspanner.
For those of us who prefer a different kind of sip, the Ube Latte (purple sweet potato) is a must-try. I chose mine hot, savoring the rich, authentic ube flavor. The accompanying crispy chips were a perfect textural contrast, making each sip and crunch a real pleasure. Opting for hot also meant no watered-down flavor a huge win 🌟
This charming cafe, though small and without Wi-Fi, has a dedicated following. Seating is limited, so if you're looking to enjoy your drink indoors, your best bet is to arrive before 11 AM or after 4 PM.
While Einspanner is king here, you don't miss their tempting selection of pastries!
