The banana bread is exquisite. The American coffee is average. But actually the same can be said about most cafes in Korea. They also don’t offer cream or milk for your coffee. The brunch was a little overpriced, but the taste was worth it. Nice atmosphere and great service.

This cafe was adorable, definitely one of my favourites on our recent trip to Busan. We're not vegan, but this cafe is very vegan friendly for anyone who is looking for places to go! I'm allergic to eggs so I ordered the vegan banana bread and it was amazing. My husband had the French toast which he said was delicious as well. It was slightly pricier than some of the other cafes we went into during our holiday but I am always willing to pay for good food and good service. The atmosphere here is also super cosy with lots of plants and a rustic feel, definitely recommend!

Nice interior, delish cakes. We had cheesecake with brulee on it and seasonal strawberry cake. The sponge was fluffy with sweet whipped cream, topped with fresh strawberry. The cheese cake was firm outside and soft melty inside. The coffee kinda sweet type and the vanilla latte I had, had this good smell of vanilla beans. We wrote on the guest book for experience. Nice cafe.

This is a fantastic cafe located in an alley in Gwangbokdong, lined with hotels frequented by foreigners. Its biggest advantage is that it opens early in the morning to cater to those staying in nearby hotels who want to enjoy breakfast. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is quite good for a cafe in this alley, making it a satisfying experience. The French toast is truly excellent. It's so good that it deserves a five-star rating, and it seems rare to find a place in Busan that makes French toast this delicious. It's the best. This cafe is frequented by many foreign visitors as well as Korean customers. If you are traveling in Busan and staying at a hotel near this area, I strongly recommend that you have breakfast at this cafe. Highly recommended.

The moment I visited here, they were roasting their coffee beans. Taste and flavor of Americano is one of the best coffees I've ever had. The atmosphere and the music makes me feel relieved and ready to travel this day. The staffs are friendly and they speak good English, and I saw one of them speak perfect Japanese as well. I see many foreign travelers as well as the local people here. Definitely would like to visit again and try the brunch menu and the French toast!

The french toast was good but if you are not a fan of overly sweet toasts, do consider sharing with a friend. The staff was really attentive, before I could say anything and just as I was leaving; he told me where the restroom was, as though anticipating my question.

At this cute cafe we had their delicious french toast, breakfast set, and berry bowl. Very quiet and calm atmosphere perfect for studying or relaxing in the morning! The staff were patient and friendly considering we had limited Korean vocabulary. They were able to smoothly converse with us in English and we had no issues ordering. Would recommend trying this place if you are in the area!
