在首爾不記得看過什麼特色星巴克，仁寺洞那些賣傳統的景點也沒有。為了找星巴克最近推出的下午茶套餐，竟在社區附近找到這家裝潢頗具韓國特色的梧木橋分店(스타벅스 오목교사거리점)，雖然，它也沒賣我想吃的下午茶套餐(按小圖可看大圖)。
Found this Korean style Starbucks (Omokgyo Sageori Store), surprisingly, it's not in any famous tourist attractions such as Insadong, but in my neighborhood, Mokdong.
位於梧木橋站6號出口，櫃台在1樓(上圖右)，座位在2樓(上圖左)。
Located outside Subway Omokgyo Station Exit 6. The counter is on the 1st and seats are on the 2nd floor.
內部裝潢 : 糊紙燈籠、竹製百葉窗、磚牆、韓風隔板；另有露臺，露臺的天花板燈也很有宮廷風味。這家桌椅和一般星巴克不同，大部分是厚實木製方桌。
Its interior design features paper lanterns, bamboo blinds, brick walls and Korean style partitions. There's also a verandah with cute temple style ceiling lights. Most of the tables and chairs are different from that of ordinary Starbucks; the tables are thick wooden square ones.
回到1樓點餐區，燈光、磚牆都很有韓國風味。告示板上寫了一個小故事，它說，星巴克是現代人的咖啡館，過去的韓國皇帝也有他的御用咖啡館，那就是
德壽宮(덕수궁)的"
靜觀軒"(정관헌)。
Back to 1st floor, the lights and brick walls raise a sense of Korean-ness. On the bulletin board it says while Starbucks is modern people's coffee house, ancient Korean emperor (Gojong) also has his royal coffee house, the Jeonggwanheon in the Deoksu Palace.

沒在這家找到的下午茶套餐，後來在明洞吃到啦。
售價10000圜，和飲料合購則為8400圜。
I went to that Omokgyo Starbucks because I was finding the Starbucks Afternoon Tea Set, which they didn't sell. I later found it in Myeongdong. Price for this set of 6 mini desserts is 10000 won, 8400 won when ordered with any drink.
6種迷你糕點包含水果蛋糕、巧克力瑪芬、草莓瑪芬、杏仁塔、白巧克力米果慕斯蛋糕、及馬卡龍。供餐時盛於特製白色塑膠盤。我對韓國星巴克的餐點一向沒好感，這份迷你下午茶套餐卻出奇好吃，除了有點乾掉的水果蛋糕，巧克力瑪芬甜中帶點苦味、草莓瑪芬上面那一坨草莓克林姆酸中帶甜、杏仁塔和小蛋糕口感不錯但口味很常見、馬卡龍那兩塊餅濕黏得恰到好處，只是香氣很人工。
6 mini desserts include fruit cake, chocolate muffin, strawberry muffin, marzipan tart, white chocolate mousse cake, and macaron. I always bear a grudge about Korean Starbucks desserts but this mini set kinda appeals to me. Besides the fruit cake which is a bit dry when served, the muffin has a bitter chocolate taste, strawberry muffin's solid strawberry cream tastes sourly sweet, the marzipan tart and white chocolate cake are good but ordinary, and the macaron is not bad but smells artificial.
