Coffee Omakase Experience
$39.00 - $42.00 per person
Jan 5, 2024 - May 31, 2025
Gute Leute Coffee Bar is one of Korea’s most beloved coffee spots, celebrated for its unique and creative coffee offerings. Each season, we craft a special coffee experience designed to surprise and delight you. To mark our journey, we’re introducing two new omakase courses: 1. Gute Leute’s 1st Anniversary Omakase – Celebrate our first anniversary with a special coffee course, carefully prepared to honor your visit and create a memorable experience. 2. Best of 2024 – Relive the magic of last year with a selection of our most-loved coffees, offering timeless and harmonious flavors. Omakase Reservation Policy At our omakase, we operate under the principle that all guests in a reservation enjoy the experience together for a smoother and more seamless dining experience. To ensure efficient seating and service, please note the following: • When making a reservation, all members of your party are expected to participate in the omakase course. • If you have concerns about caffeine, allergies, or dietary restrictions, please check our FAQ. We’re happy to assist you in finding the best option, so feel free to reach out to us in advance. • We are committed to providing each guest with a thoughtful and memorable experience. As weekend reservations tend to fill up quickly, we recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time. If possible, we also encourage considering a weekday reservation for a more relaxed dining experience. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us create the best possible experience for all our guests. Thank you!

We did the First Year Anniversary Omakase and it was such a lovely experience! I’m not a huge coffee person but the flavors were lovely. I also enjoy that they give you a shot of espresso with most of the drinks and that they encourage you to try a little bit in your drink and increase the amount of espresso if you want to. It’s a very customizable experience and I didn’t leave feeling over caffeinated! It was very well balanced. I will say though, I think we caught the staff in the middle of a shift change during our experience. We sat for 30 mins without anyone checking-in on us. At the end, we had a different server attend to us. The people on either side of us, who had the same timing of their reservation left long before we did. It’s a $42 experience, so I’m not expecting Michelin star service, but that did affect my experience.

I’m rating the service low because I made a reservation a week out & we had to wait 25 minutes to get a table. The service after that was good, but they should have their tables ready for reservations.

We did the extended coffee omakase menu. Very fun experience and excellent service. Drinks were quite good. Only drawback was the price was a tad on the high side, otherwise, greatly enjoyed our time.

The omakase experience was delicious! I’ve never had coffee that tastes that good before. Each course is presented beautifully and the barista gives an explanation of the flavors and how to enjoy the various tastes in each course. Arrive hungry, and without previous caffeine if you’re sensitive to it. I was energized all day 🤣!
