âBall Cafeâ is a place where a citrus warehouse was renovated and reborn as a cafe. The interior, which makes use of the concrete texture, has a vintage atmosphere. You can enjoy bread baked in the bakery on the 2nd floor with a drink at the cafe on the 1st floor. The signature menu is âEARL GREY MILK TEA BOTTLEâ in a dainty bottle. The savory flavor of Earl Grey is added to the savory flavor of milk and blends harmoniously. âVOLS LATTE,â which is a feel-good combination of three colors, including the blue of mint, the brown of the coffee, and the white of the cream, is also a popular menu. The fresh mint finishes the latte flavor, which can easily get thick, with a refreshing aftertaste.

â²Review (Coco Chanel*): There's so much bread that I'm not sure what to eat! I was hungry that day, so I chose about 3 of my choice with my friend, and they were much tastier than I expected! It was also one of my favorite places during my trip to Jeju Island.
2. 'Therefore Part 2' in Jeju City , a variety of flavors blended in one sip

âTherefore Part 2â welcomes you with green grass and a long stone wall path. The spacious interior of the store has widely spaced tables, so it's a great place to spend a relaxing time. The signature menu âMerry Hahaâ combines cold milk and hot espresso, and is characterized by a temperature that is neither cold nor hot. Sugarcane syrup is placed on the bottom of the coffee cup, so I recommend drinking it for a long time rather than stopping to eat it little by little like regular coffee. Passing through the bitter taste of espresso, you can enjoy the sweet yet soft taste of milk at the same time. Note that the menu for signature drinks other than Merry Haha changes every season.

'High-end Jeju' exudes an exotic atmosphere with a cool sea and palm trees planted in the yard. It consists of a variety of spaces, from an outdoor terrace to table seats and a rooftop, so you can choose and enjoy whatever atmosphere you want. The signature menu here is âHallabondor,â where the inside of Pandor is filled with plenty of hallabong powder and finished by sprinkling sugar powder. The sweet bread melts in your mouth, and Hallabong noodles are full of freshness. âFresh strawberry milk,â which combines strawberry juice made from fresh strawberries brought from the farm with savory milk, is also a popular menu. The rooftop on the 3rd floor is operated as a no-kids zone.

It's so nice to be able to hear the feeling and sounds of Jeju when I'm here. The open space with a sea view makes us forget our steamy city life.
4. Seogwipo 'Atelian', a drink that caught the eye and mouth

âAtelier Anâ consists of 3 buildings, each decorated with a different concept. It is a place that offers a variety of menus, including coffee and beverages, and premium teas. The signature menu is âEmerald Bonbon,â an iced green tea latte mixed with green grapes. The bittersweet green tea latte envelops the mouth tightly, and the green grape grains add to the fun of chewing. âCamellia bonbon,â where the red color of vitamin tea spreads like a gradation over carbonated water, is also a popular menu item. Vitamin tea, which is full of sourness in just one bite, further enhances the refreshing feeling unique to Aid. Please note that they have a second store in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul.

In âManor Blanc,â you can find gardens colored with rapeseed flowers, hydrangeas, pink mullies, and camellia flowers depending on the season. In the winter season, a camellia flower garden that looks like it's embroidered in red spreads out. Inside the store, teacup sets collected by the owner himself are displayed, giving it an old-fashioned feel. The signature menu â3-tier tray tea setâ allows you to enjoy tea with sweets such as croissants, sandwiches, cakes, scones, cookies, and fruit. Tea sets must be booked at least one day in advance, and you can choose the teapot set that suits your preferences when ordering. After using the cafe, you can pack your luggage and enjoy the various walking paths and photo zones in the outdoor garden.
