Blog: Discover Café Upper – Koreatown's Coffee & Dessert Haven

Nestled in Koreatown, Café Upper stands out as a perfect blend of modern aesthetics and a relaxing, cozy atmosphere. Whether you're seeking a quiet workspace or a fun coffee date spot, this cafe has you covered. With its sleek design and a wide range of drinks and desserts, it’s a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.

We had the pleasure of trying their best-selling Dalgona Latte, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Creamy and refreshing, it's a perfect pick-me-up. Their extensive coffee menu includes everything from classics like Espresso and Americano to unique options like Black Sesame Einspanner and Pistachio Einspanner. There's always something new to discover on each visit.

Desserts & Shaved Ice Extravaganza

Café Upper also excels in its dessert offerings. We couldn’t resist the Strawberry Milk Donut, which was wonderfully fluffy, light, and sweet. It’s the perfect complement to any of their drinks. For something even more refreshing, their Strawberry Shaved Ice hit the spot, especially on a hot day. Other popular shaved ice options include Tiramisu, Matcha, and Injeolmi, each offering a unique twist on the traditional Korean dessert.

Their Croffles (a fusion of croissant and waffle) are another must-try. We loved the Tiramisu Croffle – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with rich, indulgent flavors that leave you wanting more.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Café Upper is not just a coffee shop; it’s a versatile space perfect for solo work sessions, casual hangouts, or even study sessions with friends. From their wide selection of drinks, including Matcha Lattes and Earl Grey Tea Guava Slush, to their unforgettable desserts like the Strawberry Milk Donut, there’s something for everyone.
