Where to Go in Busan: 3 Atmospheric Cafes
Korean cafes are just on another level ❤️ The variety here is incredible, and every spot has its own unique vibe. In this post, I’ve put together a list of the cafes that really stood out to me because of their amazing atmosphere.
📍 Yeongdo — Hinyeoul Beach Cafe
Address: 236 Jeoryeong-ro, Yeongdo-gu, Busan
If you’re heading to Yeongdo Island, I highly recommend stopping by this adorable cafe with a stunning ocean view 🌊
The interior perfectly captures that beachy vibe: huge windows, a bright, airy space, and tons of cute details. You’ll honestly want to take a picture of everything ☺️
You can sit inside or head out to the terrace. Picking a spot is actually the hardest part because the views are gorgeous from every angle, especially when it’s not too crowded.
The dessert selection is quite broad, featuring cookies, cakes, and cheesecakes. But my absolute favorite is the 브라운 치즈 크로플 — a croffle topped with Norwegian brown cheese.
Think crispy waffle, sweet-and-salty caramel-like cheese, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is absolutely delicious ☺️
📍 Haeundae — Fluffy Cream (플러피크림)
Address: 15-1 Udong 1-ro 38beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan
This is a small cafe located near Haeundae Station. I especially loved the cozy, green terrace—it’s such a pleasant spot to relax when the weather is nice 🌿
Their specialty is bingsu (shaved ice). The mango and peach flavors are the most popular, while the tomato bingsu is definitely the most unique :) The portions are huge, so one is perfect for sharing between two people. Prices start at around 20,000 won.
They also have a great selection of beautiful cakes and desserts.
For drinks, you can try some unique options like the sweet corn latte, black sesame latte, or mugwort latte.
📍 Choryang — 초량1941 (Choryang 1941)
Address: 533-5 Mangyang-ro, Dong-gu, Busan
To me, this place feels more like a mini museum :)
Choryang 1941 is housed in an old building that’s been converted into a cafe. It has a very atmospheric vintage interior, making it the perfect place to admire the decor and snap some detail shots.
The cafe’s main claim to fame is its signature milk drinks, served in beautiful glass bottles.
Since it’s located on the Choryang hillside, the walk up might be a bit steep. However, you can easily get there by public transport, such as from the Busan Station area.
I think this is a must-visit for anyone who loves unique spaces, nature, and atmospheric photography 📸
