까끔 커피 숍에 커피 마시러 간데 보통은 카페에서 커피를 사고 밖앝에서 마셔요.

저는 커피를 못 마시지만 차를 많이 마셔요. 한국에서 살 수 있는 밀크티 (?) 좋아해요… ^ ^ 근데 노르워이 커피숍에서 커피가 너무 비싸요. 그리고 별로 맛 없어요…

hehe, good advice, nestle. :wink:

저도 커피를 안 좋아하지만 커피숍에서 다른 파는 거 좋아해요. 그래서 친구가 커피숍에 가자고 하면 커피를 시키지 않고 코코아, 차, 또는 케이크를 시켜요. :smile:

At some coffee shops, they would give you a free slice of cake if you ordered more than 10 000 won worth of drinks. But, since the price of wheat has been going up over the last year and a half, many coffee shops have started charging 1000-2000 won for that previously “free” slice of cake, while other coffee shops have scrapped that promotion all together.

I’ve heard some young Koreans feel a little strange paying over 5000 won for a cup of coffee or piece of cake, since the same amount of money can get you a full hearty meal at a basic Korean restaurant (국수, 비빔밥, 설렁탕…). But, at a coffee shop you’re also paying for 분위기: the atmosphere. And, as any 커피숍 사장님 will tell you, good 분위기 is key!

in korean dramas i often see people drinking a liquid that you can see through calling it coffee :shock: … why is that?

살릇 says:

커피를 별로 안 좋아해서 잘 안마셔요
커피 대신에 과일 스무디를 마셔요
과일 스무디가 커피보다 더 맛있는 것 같아요!

:razz: Hi, 샬릇.

저도 과일 스무디를 좋아해요. 특히 더운 여름에는 과일 스무디가 시원해서 정말 좋더라구요^^

샬릇님은 과일 스무디 중에서 어떤 과일 스무디가 가장 좋으세요? : )
