Cafe Seoraksan-ro 카페 설악산로
Sokcho · Daepo Port & Oeongchi · Cafe
Between Daepo Port and the mountain road, this bakery cafe is a convenient place to start the day. Fresh bread, pastries and filter coffee are on the counter, along with a few seasonal drinks, and the seating inside and out gives you a breather from driving. It is more of a pit stop than a sightseeing target, but travelers heading to Seoraksan often combine a coffee with a pastry bag for the trail.
Hours can change at independent bakeries, so check a map app before setting out, and note that popular items sell out by afternoon. Staff are used to visitors, and pointing at the display works well.
By taxi it is about 15 minutes from downtown, and drivers can navigate with the Korean name. Roadside parking is available. (Show a driver: 카페 설악산로)
