Seoul Hapjeong Mesena Polis Cafe: Starbucks Reserve (R)

In the hub of transportation in the northwest of Seoul, you can find “Mesena Polis” near Hapjeong Station. Mesena Polis is a complex apartment located in Hapjeong, combining residential and commercial spaces to create a unique atmosphere.

Completed in 2012, Mesena Polis stands out with a design reminiscent of a canyon, providing a distinctive experience different from other shopping malls as it captures the essence of building winds.

“Two Starbucks locations in Hapjeong Mesena Polis”

In Mesena Polis Shopping Mall, you can find two Starbucks locations. Originally, there was only one, but later, another one was added. Currently, there are both a regular Starbucks and a “Starbucks Reserve (R)” store. The space that now houses the “Starbucks Reserve (R)” was previously occupied by Angel-in-us. After Angel-in-us left, Starbucks took over and started operating.

Thanks to this, within Mesena Polis, you can find two Starbucks locations situated quite close, just a 1-2 minute walk apart. However, both locations are often bustling with people whenever visited.

“Starbucks Reserve (R) Store”

The “Starbucks Reserve (R)” store in Mesena Polis doesn’t differ significantly from other Starbucks locations. As it is a “Reserve store,” the main distinction lies in being able to order premium menu items not available in regular Starbucks stores. You can still enjoy Starbucks’ distinctive interior, making it a comfortable place to spend time.

Particularly, Hapjeong is a must-visit area for those traveling to Paju. Especially for those using public transportation to visit places like Heyri Art Village or English Village in Paju, this is a crucial transportation hub since buses to Paju are available only here. For Paju residents, it serves as an essential transportation junction.

If you find yourself with some time to spare, especially when traveling to Paju, spending time in places like Starbucks is a great choice. I remember, back when I lived in Paju, spending time in the Hapjeong area, filling the time, and then taking a bus back to Paju.

Starbucks, known as the top choice for spending time, is particularly well-suited for those situations, making it a good place to keep in mind.
