Gangneung Terarosa is the headquarters and the first shop opened in 2002.
It began its business only as a roasting factory to supply cafés and hotels with coffee, and with increasing visitors who wanted to taste its coffee, it was expanded by opening cafés later. It moved to the new red-brick building with the new atmosphere for customers in July, 2017.
People were taking photos standing by its red wall covered with ivy. Good backdrop for photos. Opening its 10th shop in Busan recently, Terarosa has grown as a high quality coffee brand in Korea in 16 years.
Although it has a small number of shops, with the great taste of coffee and beauty of interior, it became one of the top Korean coffee brands. Therefore long waiting is not surprising there.
It is recommended to visit the café in morning time, weekdays to relax and enjoy coffee avoiding the peak time. Its bakery products are famous as well, and sold out early every day.
Order counters for bakery and coffee are separated. First, order bakery products, then order coffee, and then pay all together, which is how to order. It has a kids-free area, called 'no kids zone', on the 2nd floor only adults allowed.
Behind the cafe you can see the old Terarosa building.
Gangneung Terarosa has two buildings,
one is a café and bakery and the other is a restaurant. The restaurant is only in the Gangneung headquarters,
where you can enjoy sophisticated brunch and dinner with seasonal food. Another good point of the restrant is customers can watch cooking process by its open kitchen. They sell souvenirs such as roasted coffee bean, echo bags and postcards. Opening hours
