orrrn (오른)
I happened to be walking on the Jeju Olle-gil when I came upon this cafe just in time for a cup of coffee with a snack. This modern building is beautifully designed and fittingly has all of the seats facing out towards the beautiful ocean views. Pastries were delicious to top it off, though I didn’t try that corn-topped one.
- Address: 2714 Haemajihaean-ro, Seongsan-eub, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do (제주 서귀포시 성산읍 해맞이해안로 2714)
- Hours: Every day: 10:30am ~ 8:00pm (7:00pm in the winter)
cafe ooo (카페아오오)
Out of the Ordinary is a beautiful cafe with outdoor and indoor seating. While everyone else headed upstairs to sit beneath the picturesque hanji paper that hangs from the ceiling, we opted for the seating downstairs where we could listen to the waves. Great coffee and a quiet cafe upstairs if you want a spot to do some work.
- Address: 75 Hwanhaejangseong-ro, Seongsan-eub, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do (제주 서귀포시 성산읍 환해장성로 75)
- Hours: Every day: 9:00am ~ 7:20pm
The Season (그계절)
Very friendly and lovely rustic vibe at The Season. This quickly became one of our favorite cafes when we stopped in, looked at the menu and realized there wasn’t any food appropriate for a toddler. The cafe owner quickly whipped up a simple toast with jam without qualm and gave it to us on the house. If you’ve lived in Korea, you know how difficult it can be to go off menu or even adapt a menu item.
- Address: 119 Handong-ro, Gujwa-eub, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (제주 제주시 구좌읍 한동로 119)
- Hours: Every day: 11:00am ~ 5:30pm
seal_espresso (씰에스프레소)
Another cafe on the seaside that stood out when I was doing my Jeju Olle-gil trek, Seal Espresso has just the right touches of color that play off of the everchanging colors of the skies outside. A friendly family-owned cafe, you can sit quietly taking in the views while you or your kids color to add a picture to their wall in the back.
- Address: 5203 Iljudong-ro, Seongsan-eub, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do
- Hours: Tuesday – Sunday: 10:00am ~ 5:00pm
Cafe the Container (카페 더 콘테나)
If you’re planning to pick tangerines when you’re visiting Jeju, which you should, you’ll also come across cafes that cater to the tangerine lovers that may not want to take a whole bag home with them. At Cafe Container, you can take cute pictures, have citrus drinks and snacks, and walk through a lovely orchard of oranges.
- Address: 513 Hamwa-ro, Jocheon-eub, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (제주 제주시 조천읍 함와로 513)
- Hours: Thursday – Tuesday: 10:30am ~ 6:00pm
Damda Jeju (담다제주)
Damda is a rustic cafe that has windows that look out into the nearby citrus orchards. The family that owns it is very inviting, as is their cafe kitty cat. If you stop in to this cafe on a Friday, you can also try their special Hansik meal that’s only served one day a week. The menu changes each week depending on the local produce. It’s delicious.
- Address: 732 Wonnim-ro, Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do
- Hours: Monday – Saturday: 10:30am ~ 6:00pm
Cafe Glencoe (카페 글렌코)
The real draw for this cafe is the stunning garden they have sprawling all around it. This seasonal garden has something blooming in every season of the year. Visit in the autumn to see pink muhly and cosmos, the winter to find camellias, and so on. If you’re driving across the island from north to south, stop here on your way for coffee with a flower view.
- Address: 1202 Bijarim-ro, Gujwa-eub, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (제주 제주시 구좌읍 비자림로 1202)
- Hours: Every day: 9:30am ~ 6:00pm
Muroi (무로이)
Muroi is a striking cafe that stands out all in black. The darkness some how manages to make the greens of the surrounding flora and fauna to really stand out. Sit amongst the bamboo stalks, or at the long table in the main cafe space. Sit inside or out. There are a number of seating options that cater to the person that wants a group atmosphere or an isolated sip of espresso.
- Address: 21 Donggwangbondong-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do (제주 서귀포시 안덕면 동광본동로 21)
- Hours: Every day: 10:30am ~ 7:00pm
One and Only (원앤온리)
This is a very popular cafe especially for those tourists in the area to visit the gorgeous Sanbangsan or Yongmeori Coast. There’s seating inside, but you’ll definitely want to find the swings and chairs outside that let you bask in the southern coast of Jeju.
- Address: 141 Sanbang-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do (제주 서귀포시 안덕면 산방로 141)
- Hours: Every day: 9:00am ~ 8:00pm
Delmoondo (델문도)
This is the most popular cafe in the Hamdeok Beach area. This place was pretty happening during our stay, but we still walked in and found a seat easily. There is indoor seating with air-con and outdoor seating on a wrap around terrace. There’s also a private area with beach access that you can rent by the hour.
- Address: 519-10 Johamhaean-ro, Jocheon-eub, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (제주 제주시 조천읍 조함해안로 519-10)
- Hours: Every day: 6:30am ~ 12:00am
Saebil (새빌)
We visited this cafe when the pink muhly was at it’s pinkest. Once an abandoned hotel, now a cafe, it is anything but abandoned now. It is popular, so much so that the pastries were almost gone when we arrived. The cafe perches picturesquely on a hilltop that looks out to nearby oreums. It’s beautiful, but do expect crowds of people.
- Address: 1529 Pyeonghwa-ro, Aewul-eub, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (제주 제주시 애월읍 평화로 1529)
- Hours: Every day: 9:00am ~ 7:00pm
Lazy Pump (레이지펌프)
One of our favorite stops in the Aewol area is Lazy Pump. It’s intriguingly beautiful with a rustic appeal. It used to be a fish farm and now has a bit of a grungy but cool vibe. From here you can take a walk along the waters edge. We liked the out of the way feeling when we were there.
- Address: 32 Aewolbukseo-gil, Aewol-eub, Jeju-si, Jeju-do
- Hours: Every day: 9:00am ~ 8:00pm
We have visited some fantastic cafes in Jeju. While I think you should visit the island to bask in the beautiful natural scenery, you do need to stop for a snack from time to time at least.
