Busan Momos Coffee Featured on You Quiz: The Success Story of World Barista Champion Jeon Joo-yeon

Busan's Momos Coffee has garnered significant attention following the appearance of CEO Jeon Joo-yeon on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block'. The broadcast highlighted the success story of CEO Jeon, who became the first Korean to win the World Barista Championship in 2019, leading to a surge in visitors to Momos Coffee branches, particularly the Yeongdo and Oncheonjang locations.

Momos Coffee began as a small takeout shop near Oncheonjang Station in Busan in 2007 and has since grown into a brand with four branches, 150 employees, and annual sales of 32 billion won. The Yeongdo branch, a large roastery cafe utilizing an old warehouse, allows visitors to observe the entire coffee production process, from green bean storage to roasting and packaging. The Oncheonjang main branch offers a resort-like atmosphere with its bamboo forest path and garden, serving carefully selected single-origin hand-drip coffee, the signature Fruit Bonbon, and freshly baked goods.

Bloggers describe Momos Coffee not just as a coffee shop but as a symbolic space that led the popularization of specialty coffee in Korea. They recommend taking out coffee from the Yeongdo branch due to long weekend queues and appreciate its unique layout, which allows a view of the roasting facilities through large windows. The Oncheonjang main branch is noted for embodying the brand's origins and identity, offering delicious coffee alongside an excellent selection of baked goods, leaving a positive impression on visitors.
