Seongsu Matcha Hotspot Super Matcha: A Review of Robot-Made Matcha Latte

The Place I Was Curious About After Seeing It So Much on Instagram

I finally visited Seongsu Super Matcha, which I kept seeing on social media lately! I'm not a big fan of matcha, but the idea of a robot making it piqued my curiosity, so I went with a friend over the weekend.

It's easy to find near Seoul Forest, and the building exterior is really simple. But once you step inside, it's like a whole different world.

Directions and Surrounding Atmosphere

The address is 19, Seoulsup 6-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and it's about a 10-minute walk from Seongsu Station. It's right next to Seoul Forest, making it a great spot for a stroll. We took the subway, but it seems accessible by bus too.

There are many hip cafes around, so you can really feel the unique vibe of Seongsu-dong. There is a small space for parking in front of the store, but I recommend using public transport.

First Impressions of the Store Interior

The most striking thing as soon as you enter is the robot making matcha! It's truly fascinating. Since a robot makes the matcha with precise proportions, I thought the taste would be consistent every time.

The store isn't very large but has a clean and modern feel. There aren't many seats, so there might be a wait on weekends. Luckily, we were able to sit right away when we visited.

The Dilemma of Choosing a Menu

The menu is truly a matcha paradise. Most items are drinks and desserts made with matcha, so it would be heaven for matcha lovers. The prices start at 11,000 won for drinks, which is on the expensive side.

Main Menu

Super Matcha Latte - 11,000 won

Oat Matcha Snow - 12,000 won

Matcha Soft Ice Cream - 8,000 won

Matcha Cup Bingsoo - 14,000 won

I ordered the signature Super Matcha Latte, and my friend ordered the Matcha Soft Ice Cream. It's mandatory to order one menu item per person.

A Special Experience Made by Robots

Watching the robot make matcha after ordering is quite entertaining. It was fascinating to see it measure the exact amount of matcha powder and mix it with milk.

Since it's made with precise measurements, the taste seems guaranteed to be consistent every time. I think kids would find it really amazing too.

Finally Tasting the Real Flavor of Matcha

The taste is surprisingly intense! The unique bitter flavor of matcha is definitely present, but it's not too sweet, which I liked. Even someone like me, who doesn't particularly like matcha, could enjoy it. The aroma is really nice too.

I also tried the Matcha Soft Ice Cream my friend ordered, and it's a flavor that matcha enthusiasts would love. The ice cream itself is smooth, and the matcha flavor is strong.

Value for Money and Unique Experience

Honestly, the price is a bit high. At 11,000 won for a matcha latte, it's about 2-3 times the price of a regular cafe Americano. However, considering the unique experience of having a robot make it and the quality of the matcha, it's worth visiting at least once.

It's especially recommended for those who love matcha or want a unique experience. It also satisfies the Instagram aesthetic ㅎㅎ

Visit Tips and Cautions

Be sure to watch the robot make the matcha! It's really fascinating. You can take lots of photos, and I think kids would love it too.

Places to Explore Nearby

Seoul Forest is right next door, making it perfect for a walk after enjoying matcha. Especially when the weather is nice, I recommend a course of having a picnic in Seoul Forest and then enjoying dessert at Super Matcha.

Due to the nature of Seongsu-dong, there are many hip cafes and restaurants nearby, making it a great location to stop by while touring Seongsu. There's also a pasta place called Onryang nearby, and many cafes converted from factories, so you can enjoy a full day there.

Honest Overall Impression

Even if you're not a matcha enthusiast, it's a place worth visiting at least once. There's a unique experience of having a robot make your drink, and the quality of the matcha is good. Although it's a bit pricey, it fits well with the Seongsu-dong vibe.

Would I visit again... maybe when I'm suddenly craving matcha? ㅎㅎ I think I'd come back on a special day or when I want to have a unique experience with friends. For matcha lovers, it would be heaven!

It's also a great date spot in Seongsu, and perfect for a stroll in Seoul Forest followed by dessert, so I recommend it. Just be prepared for a wait!
