Gabae Chagwan (咖啡茶館) — Incheon Chinatown Branch
The Only Handcrafted Milk Tea House in the Heart of Incheon’s Historic Chinatown
Located at the center of Incheon Chinatown, the city’s most colorful and culturally rich neighborhood, Gabae Chagwan (咖啡茶館) — Incheon Chinatown Branch stands as the district’s one and only handcrafted blended milk tea house. Surrounded by lantern-lined streets, nostalgic shopfronts, and iconic red gates, this café has become a beloved stop for international travelers seeking a uniquely Korean–Asian tea culture experience.A Specialty Tea House Rooted in Authentic Craft
At this Chinatown branch, Gabae Chagwan prepares its milk tea with freshly brewed tea leaves—never powders or artificial mixes. Each blend is crafted in-house, balancing traditional brewing techniques with modern flavor design. The result is a clean, aromatic milk tea that feels both comforting and refined.
The storefront proudly displays the elegant signage “咖啡茶館”, easily recognizable to travelers walking through the bustling main street of Incheon Chinatown. Inside, warm lighting, vintage décor and subtle East Asian accents create a space that feels both welcoming and atmospheric.
Their renowned Hong Kong–style egg tarts, baked in-house every day, complement the teas perfectly—crispy outside, soft and silky inside. Combined with their creative matcha drinks, coffees, bubble teas and specialty ice creams, this branch offers a menu that’s both diverse and delightfully memorable.
One of the café’s standout touches is its packaging: drink holders and ice cream cups reinterpret traditional Chinese “long-life” porcelain patterns into stylish, modern designs—popular among visitors for taking photos right at the storefront.
