How to Order at a Korean Cafe: Drinks and Useful Phrases
For your first Korean café order, choose an iced Americano if you want black coffee, a café latte if you prefer milk, or citron tea if you want a sweet citrus drink. Say the drink name, specify hot or iced, and tell the staff whether you are staying or taking it to go. You do not need a long Korean conversation. A complete order can be as short as “아이스 아메리카노 한 잔 주세요”—“One iced Americano, please.” Here is how to choose a drink and finish that first order with confidence.
