MegaMGC Coffee : $1 Venti Size Americano / Low Cost Brand Cafe
In South Korea, coffee isn’t just a drink , it’s a lifestyle. While big-name franchises like Starbucks or The Coffee Bean are everywhere, there’s another side to the Korean coffee scene: low-cost brands like MegaMGC, Paik’s Coffee, Compose Coffee, and Monster Coffee. These chains offer incredible value, with a $1 Americano (venti size) and $3 smoothies or frappuccinos. Among the budget coffee chains, today I’d like to introduce MegaMGC Coffee.
MegaMGC Coffee Business Hours
Another great thing about Korean coffee shops is their long opening hours. Many stay open late into the night, making them perfect for students, freelancers, and night owls. The MegaMGC store near my house is open from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, making it super convenient for a late-night caffeine fix.
Store Appearance
Most low-cost coffee chains in Korea focus on take-out rather than dine-in experiences. Some stores have no seating at all, while others offer only a few tables. The MegaMGC store I frequent (literally a 5-minute walk from my apartment) has about three 4-person tables and three 2-person tables. All seats are equipped with power outlets, perfect for working on your laptop or charging your phone.
Kiosk
All MegaMGC stores use self-service kiosks, so ordering is quick and easy even if you don’t speak Korean fluently. The staff usually prepares drinks within 3 to 5 minutes, even during busy hours. It’s fast, cheap, and efficient, just what modern urban life demands. When using the kiosk, Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese are supported. Therefore, even if you don’t speak Korean, you can place your order conveniently.

MegaMGC’s Seasonal Menu (Autumn 2025)
As of September 2025, MegaMGC has launched its autumn seasonal menu under the campaign “RIIZE into Fall”. RIIZE is the model representing MegaMGC in this season.
Nurung-Ji Crisp Frappe
A sweet and nutty frappe made with crispy nurung-ji (scorched rice) using premium Yeoju rice, famously served to royalty. For extra crunch, more crispy nurung-ji is sprinkled on top. A limited-edition drink for the autumn season.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Frappe
A rich nougat chocolate frappe blended with savory, slightly salty peanut butter. The sweet and nutty flavors combine perfectly for a deep, indulgent treat.
Mega Mix Coffee Smoothie
A signature coffee smoothie that captures the smooth and sweet flavor of classic Korean instant mix coffee. Cold, creamy, and comforting.
Apple Berry Smoothie
A refreshing smoothie that blends the rich sweetness of ripe apples with the tart brightness of strawberries. It’s that familiar sweet-and-sour flavor that always hits the spot—like autumn in a cup.
Peanut Butter Apple Sandwich
A sweet and nutty dessert sandwich filled with smooth peanut butter cream and chunky apple jam. Every bite combines the richness of peanuts with the fresh, fruity texture of real apple pieces.
Spicy Bibim Bread
A savory triangular bun packed with spicy bibimbap made with premium Yeoju rice, once reserved for royalty. Soft on the outside, bold and flavorful on the inside — Korea’s beloved meal in a bite-sized snack.
Yogurt Gelato Choco Berry Mix
A cool and creamy yogurt gelato coated in a chocolate shell, topped with three kinds of sweet and tangy berries, crunchy chocolate cereal rings, and nutty granola. A refreshing dessert bowl with layers of flavor and texture.
Yogurt Gelato Cereal Choco Berry Mix
An upgraded version of the original gelato bowl — chocolate-coated yogurt gelato loaded with crispy mixed cereals (like those found in traditional Korean shaved ice), a generous berry mix, and rich chocolate shell. A crunchy, icy-sweet combo you didn’t know you needed.
MD Products
Mega MGC Coffee also offers a range of MD (merchandise) products featuring their signature brand colors. Currently, they’re collaborating with “Maru the Puppy”, a beloved character, so you’ll find adorable Maru-themed designs across their product line.
From tumblers, mugs, and keyrings to picnic mats and pouches, there’s a fun variety of items to choose from. Just keep in mind — product availability may vary by location, so it’s a good idea to check with the store in advance if you’re looking for something specific.
Whether you’re a fan of cute character goods or just want something stylish and functional to remember your visit, these items make great keepsakes or gifts!
