Hey there, fellow travelers!
Today, I'm sharing my visit to a gorgeous **Sanbangsan cafe** in Jeju.
I recently visited '**Toeun**,' a brand-new cafe in Seogwipo.
It's a garden cafe with its very own forest, and I absolutely loved it. Here is my review!
Even though it's a newly opened cafe in Seogwipo, it was already packed with people! It’s clearly already making a name for itself as a must-visit Sanbangsan cafe 👍🏻

TOEUN, where the building meets the sky 🩶🩵
I loved Toeun so much that I ended up staying for quite a while.
Before I knew it, it was closing time, and the parking lot had cleared out—so I snapped this shot! The exterior is just so stylish and modern.
Here’s what it looks like from the opposite side~~~
The massive floor-to-ceiling windows are definitely a signature feature of this Sanbangsan cafe.
With a basement level, a first floor, and even a rooftop, the space is incredibly spacious and airy~
Plus, the staff were super friendly, which made the experience even better! 👍🏻
Shall we take a look inside Toeun together? ~~~
Basement Level (B1)
Look at that window view—so lush, green, and refreshing!!!
The Jeju scenery framed by the window is so beautiful, it almost feels surreal.
They also have large group tables, making it a perfect spot for family trips or gatherings with friends!
Every single view is like a piece of art 💚
What's cooler is that there's even a dedicated gallery space on the basement level 🤍
It really is a unique Seogwipo cafe where you can sip coffee and appreciate beautiful artwork at the same time.
1st Floor
Welcome to the 1st floor, which is the main space of Toeun!
The window seats are absolutely stunning, so they were fully packed ⛰️
The atmosphere here is so incredibly cozy and charming!
It’s perfect for a romantic date and makes an amazing addition to any Jeju itinerary.
What you see right outside the window is 'Toeun Forest'!
It’s a massive, breathtaking forest that the owner has lovingly and meticulously cultivated piece by piece.
The ceilings are so high, and you can see Sanbangsan Mountain on the other side—it would be absolutely incredible to visit here on a rainy day!!!
Sanbangsan Cafe Menu
Along with the classic cafe options,
they also have some unique signature drinks that you can only find at this brand-new Seogwipo cafe!
🖤 Kkeomeong-dol (Black Stone) Latte
🧡 Jeju Hallabong Latte
🤎 World's Best Milk Tea
💚 Jeju is So Green
💙 Toeun is Blooming Hydrangeas
🤍 Toeun Iced Tea
Plus, the dessert lineup is absolutely incredible!
From Solbaengi cake, salt bread, and 'Black Stone' bread to soy milk bingsu (shaved ice) and Hallabong bingsu—they have gathered all the most delicious treats in one place!🥐🥖🥨
The desserts at this Sanbangsan cafe are on another level visually!🩶
Since we arrived a bit late, most items were already sold out. It’s definitely proving to be the hottest new spot in Seogwipo right now!~~~
Rooftop
After ordering a perfect spread of Toeun's signature drinks and desserts, we headed up to the rooftop while we waited. It’s such a gorgeous spot to take in the views and snap some photos.
A Sanbangsan-view cafe that frames the mountain perfectly, almost like a piece of art!⛰️
This is also a wonderful Jeju cafe to visit with your parents.
Looking down at Toeun Forest from the rooftop—
I feel like a 'garden cafe' concept like this is truly only possible because it's Jeju Island.
It's a place where you can relax and enjoy so many different vibes.
The Kkeomeong-dol Latte, Jeju is So Green, the yogurt tangerine cake, and iced americanos! ☺️ This new Seogwipo cafe is already a winner based on presentation alone!
Everyone absolutely loved both the drinks and the desserts!
In particular, the 'Jeju is So Green' drink I ordered was so incredibly smooth, I'm already craving another. I also took a sip of my brother's 'Kkeomeong-dol Latte', and it was surprisingly rich and delicious!
You can really tell this Seogwipo cafe paid so much attention to even the smallest details!
It was a wonderful day spent surrounding ourselves with and tasting beautiful things 🤍🩵
If you're hunting for a great cafe in Seogwipo, Jeju, I highly recommend this place!
And since it's a hot new opening, it's definitely a must-visit! 🫧
Toeun Forest
Toeun isn't just a garden cafe with a lush forest. The free-spirited Jeju-based artist, Bae Young-jun, actually takes gorgeous, moody portraits for visitors here—completely free of charge!
So, let's head out into the beautiful Toeun Forest garden! 💚
Knowing that this forest has been lovingly nurtured tree by tree for over 30 years makes it feel even more special!
Isn't it absolutely stunning?
It was such a refreshing and incredibly unique walk.
A place where art and nature harmoniously meet,

I bet it will look absolutely breathtaking in the upcoming autumn season too 🌾

I’m leaving this Sanbangsan cafe with nothing but happy, beautiful memories. 🫡👍🏻
