BCBL Cafe Gwangalli Review 2026: Ocean Views & Plant-Filled Oasis
Escape to BCBL Cafe in Gwangalli, Busan! Known for its delicious filter coffee and famous orange coffee, this plant-filled oasis offers breathtaking ocean views of Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
Hello, this is Meongmung :)
This is the cafe my husband picked out and really wanted to visit!
The coffee tasted great, it was quiet, and it had a wonderfully healing ocean view spot, making it a highly satisfying Gwangalli cafe in Busan! :) 🌿🍃
1. Exterior / Business Hours / Parking
Gwangalli Ocean View Cafe BCBL Coffee is located on the second floor.
BETTER COFFEE BETTER LIFE
Business hours are from 11:30 AM to 9 PM!
BCBL Roastery Cafe is about a 10-minute walk from Geumnyeonsan Station and located close to Suyeong-gu Office parking lot. I also parked at Suyeong-gu Office parking lot when I visited!
2. Interior Design
Gwangalli BCBL is a second-floor cafe with a beautiful 'planterior' and a refreshing ocean view of Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
For me, someone who was really into hanging plants at the time, this was such a wonderfully healing space.
Gwangalli Ocean View Cafe BCBL. The window seats are quite charming, aren't they?
It was backlit, so it was hard to capture both the plants and the ocean together.
Busan Gwangalli Cafe BCBL has its tables arranged in various styles.
Is it beautiful because it's cluttered?
It's cluttered, but a healing spot, lol ㅋㅋㅋ
My husband, who likes things neat, was horrified when I said I wanted to hang things like this... 👀 lololol
This is a cafe that roasts its own beans, but I'm not sure if they do the roasting in this specific area.
Is it supposed to be a cluttered and complex interior aesthetic, lololololol?
There was something like a certificate here, and it looked like someone who came in 2nd place in a coffee brewing tournament!
Coffee brewing is about skill + machine quality + ratio, isn't it? Hehe
3. Menu / Prices
Please refer to the photos for more menu items!
Since we were just having a quick coffee before heading off for a meal, I resisted the desserts.
Didn't the visuals of the Crookie, Chocolate Kouign-amann, and Apricot Kouign-amann look absolutely insane? Hehe, I'm so proud of myself for resisting!
4. What We Ordered
My partner ordered the warm 2nd Anniversary Geisha Blend.
When you order filter coffee, you can choose your beans, and the price varies by bean... I think this one might have been around ~$6?
I can't quite remember, haha.
I heard that Hario drip coffee is more influenced by the brewer's technique.
I don't know who brewed it, but the smooth acidity was really delicious!
They also served the warm brewed coffee in a glass.
It wasn't too hot and was at the perfect temperature for drinking.
I love that there are so many places doing great brewing these days.
Lately, I find myself more interested in brewed coffee than espresso.
Orange, Lemongrass, Bergamot, Tropical Fruits
Roasting: BCBL
Varieties: Geisha, Ethiopia
Blending: Yourhome, Zoey
Supervised by: Yourhome
Such a professional-sounding coffee description.
If you love brewed coffee, I highly recommend it! :-)
When you order filter coffee, they even serve it with a chocolate.
The perfect pairing!
And then there's the Black Orange I ordered for ~$4.
A bit disappointing that it came in a disposable cup 😂
I think it would have looked pretty in a glass, haha.
Would it work?
Espresso and orange juice...?
It looks a bit different from the orange coffee Kokoon drank in Jeju on 'I Live Alone', but I was curious, so I decided to try it!
It had pulp that seemed like fresh orange,
The coffee aroma was great, and the orange juice aroma was wonderful too, and I thought the combination wasn't bad at all!
Oh, orange coffee! Hohohohoho.
A refreshing, cool, and sweet taste perfect for summer. Personally, I find orange coffee even more delicious than Iced Peach Tea with an espresso shot (A-syatchu) :) It feels much more sophisticated?
After tasting it here, I also tried orange coffee at Casanello in Daegu, and that one was good too.

5. Overall Review
We arrived right at opening time on a weekend, which was great because we got to enjoy a quiet and peaceful cafe!
All these plants I want to bring home, lol.
My ability to actually care for them is zero, but...! I wish my own space had more plants!
