Feng W.

Gong Gan far exceeds my expectations. At first, I thought it'd just be any other "new cafe" in Duluth. However, from their drinks, desserts and even chairs, they blow every other cafe out of the water. Service was quick to order, there is an employee that brings out the orders to you and not only that, they also offer free iced water. Ambiance wise, this place is unique. The chairs are funny-shaped, the bathroom is very very... strange-in-a-good-way. Overall, Gong Gan is a super nice addition to Duluth's cafe scene. 10/10!

Brown sugar croffle
Julyana T.

Latte was creamy and has that strong coffee flavor - very impressed with this drink. Croffle is thick; crunchy on the outside but soft inside. Plenty of seatings; located in a large shopping center with ample parking spaces.

The viral Gong Gan Atlanta just opened, in soft opening. New Korean viral cafe outside Atlanta, from LA to ATL. Seems like we have been waiting years for this location to open. Basically, in the same shopping center as two other famous local cafes. There is going to be some tough competition here. But, this is a totally new vibe that you haven't seen before in Georgia. Yes, they are open to the public. The space is large, modern, and open with gorgeously branded design and furniture. What makes this location special? The modern approach. A twist of old and new on the menu, atmosphere, and down to the branding. Old Korean flavors like injeolmi, Korean melon, and mugwort, mixed with flavors like Norwegian brown cheese and cottagecore mushroom themed cheesecake. Should you try it? Yes, because everyone has a different view point and preference. I hope you can try all the local businesses before naming a favorite. I purchased from the limited soft opening menu: 1. Corn Latte - Not too sweet, but also not as much corn flavor as I'm used to at other local cafes. I don't know it it always has this, but it included a complimentary piece of candied croffle on top that is perfect for dipping in the coffee foam. 2. Machest - Classic matcha latte with oat milk. Not too sweet and tastes like what I make at home. 3. Brown Cheese Croffle - This is one of the best quality croffles that I've had in Georgia. Large croffle, generously covered with Norwegian brown cheese, and a large portion of syrup on the side for drizzling. Scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Overall, I will definitely return to try more than once. This was just my initial review at soft opening.

Cool hang out enhanced by their drinks. "A place to fulfill your emptiness" says their napkin. Another cute place to explore in Duluth. Even tho they give you a pager to indicate when your order is ready, a responsive staff brings your order to your table. Their strawberry latte was phenomenal choice for kids, made with real strawberries.

Mugwort injeolmi latte
Kathy Y.

Loved this new Korean cafe in Duluth! It was fairly quiet when I went on a Friday afternoon, with just a couple of tables of people working. The aesthetic here is so whimsical and charming. Their drink menu is super fun and unique too. I tried the injeolmi mugwort latte, which was a little sweet for my taste but still really good. Overall, I loved the vibes and will definitely be back to work or hang out with friends!

Gonggan Cream Latte, Blueberry Earl Gray French Toast
Carmen P.

I was very excited to try this cafe as I've been to the location in Flushing before. The parking lot was pretty full on a Saturday afternoon so I had to park on the other side close to Spa Land. The line was pretty long but moved quickly. I ordered the Gonggan Cream Latte which comes w a Croffle & the Blueberry Earl Gray French Toast. Both were good and not too sweet. The interior is decorated uniquely with natural finishes, but the chairs aren't the most comfortable or functional. There's also some seating outside. I want to come back and try other menu items.

TL;DR -- GongGan Coffee brings serious energy right out of the gate -- incredible atmosphere, friendly staff, and a solid cream latte. Just go early, because the line spills out the door and the popular drinks sell out fast. Walking in, the music hits you first. It's loud, it's lively, and it sets a tone that a lot of coffee shops try and fail to nail. The vibe here is genuinely fun -- the kind of place that feels like an event rather than just a caffeine stop. Packed during soft opening is always a good sign, and the crowd here felt earned. That said, come prepared. The line can stretch out the door, and if you're rolling in during the afternoon like we did, some drinks may already be sold out. Get there earlier than you think you need to. We went with the cream latte -- it's sweet, noticeably so, so keep that in mind if you prefer something more balanced. Still enjoyable, just know what you're ordering. The staff kept things moving smoothly despite the chaos, staying friendly throughout, which goes a long way when a place is this slammed during opening week. Once the soft opening rush settles, this one has all the makings of a standout spot. Service: 4/5 · Coffee: 4/5 · Atmosphere: 5/5

Gong Gan Classic Latte
Yamini A.

Got the Gong Gan classic latte and it was delicious, highly recommend! Dunking the Croffle and the coffee gave best of both! Great place to hang with family & friends or go for a solo date! Everyone was so nice and helpful which made experience even better. Very much will be coming back!

Mugwort injeolmi latte (non coffee) and corn latte (coffee)
Sharon K.

Big space with both indoor and outdoor seating. You walk into a big open space with the counter right in front. All of the employees were very friendly and helped us decide what to get. Not sure if they usually do this or if they did it because they were busy, but one of the employees brought drinks to the tables (both indoor and outdoor) once he heard the buzzers go off). We ordered the corn latte (has coffee) and mugwort injeolmi latte (no coffee). I was a bit hesitant after ordering the mugwort but trusted the employee who said it was good. I'm glad I did! It was very unique and delicious! Mugwort taste was there but not too strong. I love injeolmi so that was a great touch to the drink! Corn latte was delicious too! It was a bit sweet, but it wasn't too overpowering! Mixed well with the coffee. I didn't get to try their desserts because we were too full from lunch, but next time I will have to try their mushroom dessert and one of the croffles!

Gonggan latte and blueberry earl grey French toast also came

Just because the coffee shop scene in Duluth is saturated does not mean @gonggan.atl doesn't stand out. They attract large crowd due to their creative drinks, yummy dessert treats, spacious clean space to either work or casually hang out, and top-notched customer service. Per the server's recommendation, we tried the gonggan latte and the blueberry earl grey French toast. The gonggan latte has such delicious cream that pairs so well with the croffle. Beware, the coffee is strong!. The French toast was delicious, tho on a sweeter side. They're still in their soft opening phase and only opens Fri-Sunday for now (11AM-11PM).

Norwegian croffle
Cassidy V.

I had been to their LA location when it first opened up so I was very happy to see them open one up in Duluth! I've tried a good amount of their menu and my favorites are: Gongan Latte Corn Latte Norwegian Cheese Croffle I'd skip the cheesecake. Pretty looking but mid taste. Also, the coconut matcha is a no go; no sweetness at all so it's very bitter and bland. Love the size of their croffles; made for sharing. The space is large and has good natural lighting. Nice place to hang for a bit but it does get super busy. Been here 3 times since it's opened and will definitely become a regular cafe for me :)

The food was good. I love the service. Very friendly. The ambience was good too. Would return

Blueberry earl grey french toast, night cloud latte, corn latte

I randomly stopped by to get some drinks while trying to pass some time while I was in the area and…read morewas impressed with their setup. I actually had never heard of Artistea before but after walking in, I understood the name. It's definitely a nice cute little hangout spot for people who are feeling crafty or creative. Lots of arts and crafts or stuffed animals you can pick from to create. Their drinks are also more on the creative side as well. Very unique drinks with a mixture of ingredients rather than your typical simple boba or milk tea drink. I got the mango coco for myself and the ube coffee for my husband. We loved the taste of both and I'd love to come back and try out some of their other drinks!

The employees are always so helpful whenever I have questions about a drink or want recommendations. This time, I tried the Mango Coco. I believe it's made with mango slush, coconut milk, salted cheese foam, and sago. It was good! I definitely should have reduced the sugar level though, because it was too sweet for my taste. One thing I really appreciate about Artistea is that the drinks don't taste artificial. During my last visit, I got the Banana Pudding Matcha, and although all I could taste was banana, it tasted like real banana rather than artificial flavoring. Today, the mango tasted real as well, which I really appreciate. As for the activities offered, I think they're such a cute idea and I would love to participate. However, I would personally love to see more practical painting options, like mugs or plates. I just can't quite justify spending $20+ on a small figurine. One thing I would like to mention for possible improvement in future is upkeep. While the activities are cute and fun, it can get messy. We noticed a lot of paint and glute on the tables and chairs. Overall, I enjoy stopping by for the drinks whenever I'm in the area, and the service is always great. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Great cafe in the medlock crossings plaza next to the Regal theaters. Plenty of seating inside,…read moreeven though it can get packed pretty quickly, but there's also outdoor seating too for whenever the weather is nice. Lots of coffee options as well as tea and fruit drinks for non coffee drinkers. Their croffles are delicious! I got the honey one and I really liked it! The baristas were also really nice and quick with the orders, even when there were a lot of drinks and food to make. I was impressed! Definitely coming back especially if I need a change in environment when I work as it seems like a great place to sit and get some work done.

From the outside, it looks pretty tame and unassuming for a coffee shop, but the moment you step inside, it's like walking into a completely different universe. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. I kid you not, it makes you feel like you're sitting inside a real-life geode! The walls are lined with the cutest shelves and unique little trinkets. Their counters were stacked with all kinds of delicious-looking treats, and I honestly had a hard time deciding what to get. I finally settled on a chai tea and a caramel croffle. What really blew me away was how different this place feels from a standard chain coffee shop. The staff genuinely made me feel welcome and cared for. Within just a few minutes my order was ready. The chai tea tasted so authentic, not like it came out of a mass-produced bottle. And the croffle? Perfect. It had that beautiful subtle essence of a flaky croissant. And the caramel wasn't overly sugary at all so you could actually enjoy the rich flavors. I had the most pleasant afternoon here. If you're ever in the area and looking for a cozy spot to unwind, you absolutely have to check this place out! #ashsaidit #fyp #coffeeshopvibes #aestheticcafe #coffeelover #croffle #hiddengems #supportlocal #johnscreekeats #johnscreekcoffee
