Why visit
- Newmix Seongsu turns Korean mix coffee—instant coffee, sugar and creamer combined in a packet—into a souvenir with flavours such as Roasted Rice and Banana Milk. The reason to stop is to compare dessert-like drinks to take home, rather than plan a long café break.newmixcoffee+1
Choose by sweetness and flavour
- The brand describes Original as sweet, creamy and nutty. Air Original is its lower-sugar alternative, listed with 1g of sugar. For a grain-led flavour, compare Roasted Rice; for a toastier, gently sweet option, consider Roasted Chestnut. These are the maker’s tasting descriptions.newmixcoffee
- Banana Milk mixes coffee with the familiar Korean banana-milk flavour. If you want a coffee-free choice, the catalogue lists Earl Grey Milk Tea and Chocolate Banana. Japangi Milk recreates sweet vending-machine milk; 'japangi' means vending machine. Coffee-free does not automatically mean caffeine-free, so distinguish the tea options from the milk drink.newmixcoffee
What one buyer thought
- In a January 2025 post, 숨고르기5번 described buying Original and Roasted Rice at this Seongsu shop and trying them at home. They preferred Original’s smoothness; their sibling preferred Roasted Rice, whose grain flavour the writer felt overshadowed the coffee. They thought the products expensive as everyday instant coffee but worthwhile as an occasional purchase or gift.Naver Blog
Make it a souvenir stop
- That visitor was surprised by the small shop and its rows of black packaging. In a March 2025 interview, creative director Kim Kyurim confirmed that Seongsu had stopped its café menu in November 2024 to focus on products. The retail format is central to deciding whether this fits your plans.Naver Blog+1
- For a gift beyond coffee, compare Geonbbang Crunch—small crisp biscuits coated with coffee and maple flavours—with the ceramic cup marked for the maker’s suggested water ratio. Use the packet’s mixing directions when preparing it; the flavour comparison is easier when you keep the water amount consistent.newmixcoffee+1
