Coffee Finder in Jeju proved to be a delightful stop during our recent brunch outing. The cafe's name aptly describes the experience; it felt like discovering a hidden gem with a carefully curated selection. While the ambiance remains a personal interpretation, the quality of the drinks and desserts certainly impressed.
Donkey and I just had our brunch and decided to go get ourselves a hot drink hence we go to Coffee Finder, which is one of our itinerary. We opted for a Royal Milk Tea (Hot), an Espresso + Peanut Latte (Hot), and a Plain Financier. The Royal Milk Tea was incredibly rich and creamy, a perfect balance of tea and sweetness. The Espresso + Peanut Latte showcased the cafe's commitment to quality, with a distinct and delicious flavor profile that hinted at fresh, local ingredients. The Plain Financier was a delightful complement, offering a classic, buttery texture that cut through the richness of the drinks.
Overall, Coffee Finder offers a tranquil escape and a delightful coffee experience. The focus on quality ingredients and skilled preparation is evident in every item we tried. It's a must-visit for coffee lovers...
Read moreThis is such an incredible coffee shop. I highly recommend swinging by if you have the chance. The people here are very passionate about coffee and kind. I stumbled on this place while exploring and the owner greeted us. He asked us what our plans were and gave us incredible recommendations in his hometown, while also evaluating our itinerary.
The space itself is well designed and spacious with two floors. They roast their own coffee and are very diligent with the upkeep of the place. The owner showed us a few of the different beans they roast and really knew his stuff. In the back I saw a humble award where he qualified for the worlds coffee roasting competition.
We tried a few things including the peanut latte, sesame latte, watermelon juice, and peach smoothie. All were absolutely excellent. The peanut latte was the best for but you really cannot go wrong as all of them tasted great.
We also tried the raspberry, golden brown fig, oreo and matcha cookie which were delicious. The oreo is a bit chocolately so just FYI but if all of them we thought the fig and raspberry were best.
Finally we tried some of their freshly made garlic bread which was freaking amazing. They make them fresh in the morning.
Both times we visited, the owner gave us samples to try including americano and a sesame drink. As you may have guessed, both were excellent. I ended up buying some minus type beans to take home with me to remember this...
Read moreWe loved this place so much that we went back 3 times. The Barista here is such a beautiful and lovely person, we had some great chats with her as her English is amazing! After hearing that we were from Australia, as she has visited Melbourne before, she made us laugh as she said “oh no, pressure!” and proceeded to make us the most beautiful cups of coffee. I usually like my coffee dark, chocolatey and nutty so we ordered the normal lattes, but she came upstairs after and brought us their signature coffee finder latte with specialty beans, and omg it was so delicious! I’m so glad she made us that cup to try, it was very unique and floral berry flavours, not acidic or acrid at all and just went down beautifully. Incredibly delicious and for such a naturally perfumed coffee, dare I say one of the best cups I’ve ever enjoyed. You can tell that they’re truly passionate here.
Every time we came back, the coffee was impeccable and consistent which is something very important to me. I practically ran down from Hallasan to the thought of enjoying this coffee for my morning cuppa. I wish I bought the beans here to bring home.
Thank you Coffee Finder for keeping us happy and caffeinated on our trip in Jeju, it was beautiful and I will never stop...
