Lucia's Garden 루치아의 뜰
Gongju · Gongsanseong & Jemincheon Old Town · Cafe
A tea house built into an old house with a small courtyard, a few steps from the stream. The wooden beams and low ceilings remain, and the yard holds potted plants and a couple of tables for sunny days. The menu centers on traditional teas, coffee and simple cakes, and the pace is unhurried, which makes it a good place to rest between walks.
Seats are limited, so on weekends you may need to wait or come in the late afternoon. Stray cats sometimes wander through the lane, adding to the neighborhood feel. Prices are typical for a Korean cafe.
Opening times shift by season, so look at a map app before heading over.
It is a short walk from Sanseong Market, tucked on a lane beside Jemincheon; park at the market tower. (Show a driver: 루치아의 뜰)
