Gangguan Ekkang Dabang 강구안 에깡다방
Tongyeong · Old Town, Gangguan & Dongpirang · Cafe
Ekkang Dabang is a retro-style tearoom on a lane right beside the harbor, with old signboards and props kept as decor. The interior photographs well, with warm light, vintage furniture and window seats that look toward the water. Drinks include coffee and traditional teas, and prices are moderate.
It is small, so at busy times you may have to wait or share a corner. The name refers to a fishing lure used for squid, a nod to the port life outside. It is a nice place to cool off and rest your legs while exploring the old center.
Staff may speak limited English, but pointing at the menu works fine.
It is on a lane right beside Gangguan Harbor, a short walk from the market. (Show a driver: 강구안 에깡다방)
