Byulnan Cafe — Restaurant in Seogwipo-si

Stepping into Innisfree Byulnan Cafe on Jeju Island felt like exhaling a breath I didn't even realize I was holding. After a morning of exploring, a little tired but buzzing with the island's unique energy, I stumbled upon this gem, and it was exactly what my soul needed.

From the moment I walked in, there was this incredible sense of peace. The cafe isn't flashy or overly trendy; it just is. It's bathed in soft, natural light, and the decor is so wonderfully simple and organic, echoing the beauty of Jeju itself. You can smell a mix of fresh coffee and something subtly earthy and green – it's just so inviting.

I found a cozy spot by the window, the kind where you can just watch the world go by without feeling rushed. I ordered one of their Jeju-inspired drinks – I think it was a tangerine-infused tea, or maybe a hallabong ade – and it was pure bliss. Refreshing, bright, and tasting distinctly of Jeju, it was the perfect pick-me-up. I also indulged in a small, delicate dessert, something with green tea, and it was light and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet.

What really struck me was the atmosphere. There were other people, of course, but everyone seemed to be in their own little bubble of contentment. Some were chatting quietly, others were reading, and a few, like me, were just lost in thought, soaking in the tranquility. It wasn't just a place to grab a drink; it felt like a sanctuary.

As I sat there, sipping my drink and gazing out, I felt a genuine sense of gratitude. It was a moment of quiet reflection amidst the excitement of my trip. The gentle hum of the cafe, the soft light, the taste of Jeju in my cup – it all just came together to create a truly special memory.

The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 instead of a perfect 5 is simply because, like any popular spot on Jeju, it can get a bit busy during peak times. However, even with more people, that inherent calm seemed to linger.

If you're on Jeju and looking for a moment of genuine peace, a beautiful spot to recharge, and a taste of the island's natural charm, please, please visit Innisfree Byulnan Cafe. It's more than just a cafe; it's an experience that truly touched my heart. I left feeling refreshed, centered, and ready to embrace the rest of my...

very nice, clean and beautiful place! the food is reasonably priced for an attraction. the matcha is really thick so if you really enjoy matcha you’ll love this!

i was treated to the matcha and strawberry cake by my hotel host and it’s SOOOO GOOD please get it there (not pictured)

• matcha milk/matcha ice cream - the matcha is good, the milk is 5/10, would recommend getting the full matcha one if you’ve been spoilt by milk ice cream choices in japan • matcha tiramisu - really THICK and generous serving of matcha. very yummy! • matcha crepe cake - i’m a huge fan of lady M’s green tea crepe slice and this missed the mark by a little :”)

this is more of a dessert cafe so please if you’re finding hot warm food you might need to...

It’s a cafe that’s attached to the Osulloc tea farm and the museum. They sell anything matcha related from the high quality green tea to ice cream and pastries. There was a long line but we were able to get some tea and go to the rooftop to relax.

They have similar Osulloc cafes on mainland as well but it was nice to drink the teas that they harvested directly from...
