A Korea-inspired Haan Coffee roastery and cafe, has opened here in Orlando, at 1235 E. Colonial Drive in the Mills 50 district.
Haan Coffee is currently operating on a soft opening schedule, Monday through Saturday, 7 am until 7pm, this will continue until Christmas.
Then, after a short holiday break, the official grand opening will be on Monday, January 2nd, 2023.
The new cafe is deeply attuned to Korean architectural traditions, with the goal of creating an experience that promotes balance, community and curiosity.
Built-in shelves are spaciously lined with pottery, books and art, while natural materials and harmonious geometry are intended to create a sense of calm.
Coffees roasted in house make their way to numerous brewing devices, including a Ground Control machine.
Meanwhile, the shop’s food and drink menus specifically aim for Korean-inspired items such as the Seoul Iced Coffee, modeled after the sort of coffee served in Korean dabangs, tea and coffee houses that predate modern coffee shop concepts in Korea.
Haan Coffee Co-Founder Hong Shin said “We wanted to take this historical and beloved style of coffee, modernize and elevate it for everyone else to enjoy,” he said. “In other Korean coffee shops and bakeries in the U.S. they call it ‘Dabang Iced Coffee.'”
Creative approaches to Korean flavors at Haan also include SuJungGwa latte, named and flavored after a traditional Korean dessert tea made with ginger, cinnamon, persimmon and dates.
Haan Coffee was launched in 2020 by a team of four first-generation Korean Americans.
Suzie Shin is director of design; Kenneth Kuk is the coffee and business operations manager; Hong Shin takes the lead on cafe operations; and Albert Kang leads finances and growth.
