Alla’s Pyeongtaek Foodie Find: Podo Coffeeshop near Pyeongtaek Station _ My Honest Review

  

Podo Coffeeshop 

Before dinner one day, I had some free time and couldn't decide where to go. I remembered hearing about the famous Podo Coffeeshop, so I finally decided to check it out for the first time! 😊

I wasn’t able to take photos of the exterior or interior because there were people inside. The reason is that the walls are made of full glass! The customer areas are all made of glass, which lets in a lot of sunlight and creates a warm and pleasant atmosphere. The cafe also has wide table spacing, giving it a private feel.

At the entrance, there’s a cute illustration along with the business hours notice:

• Open daily from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM
• Closed every Wednesday
• 1,000 KRW off for takeout drinks!

Podo Coffeeshop Menu

Although the menu is written in English, the prices are also listed in Korean on the right side. Since Pyeongtaek is near a U.S. military base, the English menu is very practical! (Though many places use English for the vibe too! 😄)

I couldn’t decide between Podo Coffee and Einspänner, but the staff recommended Podo Coffee for latte lovers and Einspänner for those who prefer Americano. So, I decided to try the Einspänner! (I wanted to try their signature coffee!)

As soon as I entered the café, the smell of fresh bread filled the air—it was so tempting! But since I had dinner plans later, I held off on eating... 😭 I had heard that their financiers were amazing, so I ordered one to try! Hehehe.

The café was very clean, and most customers were sitting alone at tables, quietly spending time. Working while receiving sunlight made me feel great and efficient!

Honestly, at many trendy or Instagram-worthy cafés, the table sizes or chair heights can be uncomfortable. But here, everything was just right, and I was able to relax and spend my time comfortably. The smell of bread was amazing, too! I definitely recommend it and will likely return to spend some alone time here.

Drinks and Dessert Review

My Einspänner and financier were brought to the table! The cream may look light, but it was so delicious that I took a bite before snapping a photo! Haha. The cream was very smooth and not too sweet, with a nice clean flavor. The Americano had no sourness or burnt taste, and the subtle coffee aroma lingered in my mouth as I drank it!

Sometimes, coffee can leave a strange aftertaste, but here, there was none of that! My mouth felt fresh and clean, which was really nice.

The financier was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside—just how it should be! Here’s a thumbs up for their financier! 👍 😊
