Starbucks Junggye

Starbucks Operating Hours

Starbucks Bank Intersection

This is a place I often visit near my home. Although the store is small, it is always crowded with many people.

On this day, I was busy since the morning. It was a hectic day going to No Brand, McDonald’s, 2001 Outlet, Lotte Department Store, and finally stopping by Starbucks at Bank Intersection in Junggye. It was a truly chaotic day that I managed to finish all in the morning—my kind of efficiency! 😄

Fortunately, all the mentioned places are within a 3 km radius, so I could visit them all within that time. Unless I have divine powers… 😅

Starbucks Junggye has slightly different operating hours compared to other Starbucks locations. Of course, there seems to be some variation depending on the region, be it Jeju Island or any other area, and even within Seoul.

However, the commonality is that most places open around 7-8 am on weekdays and weekends.

Junggye Branch Operating Hours:

✅ Mon-Fri: 7 am to 11 pm

✅ Sat: Opens at 7:30 am

✅ Sun, Holidays: Opens at 8 am

Closing time is consistent at 11 pm.

Starbucks Bank Intersection Branch 217 Junggye-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul

Location: Right next to Junggye Bank Intersection in Junggye-dong.

However, parking is a bit inconvenient. There is a parking lot behind the building, but it’s quite limited and cramped. So, on weekends or weekdays, I usually use the public parking lot on the back street, which is also challenging due to the dense area with academies.

Early in the morning, they have a good selection of toasts and sandwiches.

It seems spring has arrived. Pink waves are overflowing everywhere you go. Whether it’s the Starbucks in Pocheon or other places, the theme is our beautiful national flower, Mugunghwa (Rose of Sharon). I didn’t notice it closely; otherwise, I might have mistaken it for plum blossoms! 😄

Even the glass cups are in a subtle pink hue.

Observing these, it seems Starbucks is good at marketing. Compared to other chain cafes like Twosome or Ediya, Starbucks seems to have a clear advantage in cafe accessories such as tumblers and cups.

Of course, even though I have them, I rarely use them. I have two tumblers sitting at home for two years now. Since there’s no problem using the tumbler provided by the company, I haven’t bothered to change it unless there’s a specific inconvenience.

Oh, there’s a package to make home cafe lattes. However, strangely, I rarely drink coffee at home on weekends.

I also wanted to gift this wall poster to my daughter. Starbucks items are overflowing with the scent of spring.

The reason for today’s visit is precisely this! I came to exchange the Starbucks cookie coupon I received for my birthday last time.

I’ll enjoy the delicious cookie. Tasty cookie~ It was a coupon received on my birthday, but in the end, all my kids ate it. 😄
