Homestead Coffee is a popular coffee chain in Korea, but what was least expected was the good food in addition to the delicious drinks and sweet goodies. The burger and fries are freshly whipped up and served immediately which feels as if you are dining in a restaurant rather than a cafe. It is difficult to find a good American burger in Korea because the meat they use is different. Most beef in Korea is either Korean or Australian which is a better grade than America's, but the taste is different.
Homestead offers one of the closest burger meat to America's, with its patties being a level higher than fast food chains. The best part of the meal is probably the fries which is a fresh cut up potato, seasoned and battered. Who would've ever thought a burger would be the number one recommendation in a cafe?
One thing that is not recommended is the chocolate chip cheesecake because it is nothing like cheesecake. Most Korean cheesecakes are infused with cake and a different kind of cheese which means it is not cream cheese and the texture is different. This cake is actually mostly cream and chocolate chips, very little cake texture. So unless you are all for cream, do not get tricked by presentation!
The same also goes for the cookies which is a bit softer than other cookies, but they serve a cereal cookie and chocolate marshmallow cookies, not chocolate chip and double chocolate. It is different from those in America, not as sweet and not as soft, but the cereal cookie is tasty in its own ways! The next time you visit a Homestead coffee shop, be sure to give the burger and cereal cookie a try!
