CafeCafes & vibesHistory & palacesIndoorClosed Mon

A roomy cafe on the road to Dosan Seowon, valuable because the area around the academy has few places for coffee. It has a large parking lot and a plain menu of americano, latte, matcha latte and cheesecake, which is easy for any group to order from. Windows look out over hills and fields, and the space is wide enough that a tour group can sit together without crowding.

Many visitors stop here before walking down to the academy or while waiting for a taxi. It is closed on Mondays. Prices are typical for a cafe, and staff are used to visitors coming from the academy, though English may be limited.
