Stuff (스터프)
I once had to visit Seogwipo for a short, urgent trip when I was living in Seoul (서울).
Back then, I stayed at Mido Hostel (미도 호스텔), and I noticed the counter area had been transformed into a cafe! Hearing it was a great spot for sandwiches, I decided to visit with a friend this time.
While it's not far from my home, and I could walk there, renting a car is almost essential when coming to Seogwipo from the airport. So, I'll leave a car rental link below for you!
1. Exterior and Interior


Stuff has a striking orange color. By the window, there's a bar seating area where you can enjoy your meal while looking outside!

We visited during lunchtime, and there were already people enjoying solo meals.
I often eat alone too, and having bar seating definitely makes me feel more comfortable.
I thought this would be a great, easy-to-find spot for anyone looking for a solo dining restaurant in Seogwipo!


At first, I thought it was a completely new shop that had opened, but it turns out it was the owner of Mido Hostel! This brunch cafe was opened with a chef who personally learned cooking at a local culinary school in Italy.


On one side of the cafe, you could also see travel magazines. And they were also selling Jeju (제주) T-shirts with stylish prints.

If you open the door connecting Stuff to Mido Hostel, you'll see this lounge area. Even when I stayed a night at Mido Hostel before, I thought this space was really wonderful! You can order sandwiches or drinks from Stuff and eat them inside the lounge as well.


This floor seating area, in particular, isn't it just adorable...!!! The colors are so pretty that I thought it would be a great place for taking photos too.
2. Menu Selection

Let's take a look at the menu first. Stuff's main menu features sandwiches.
The signature menu items were Mackerel and Mel Butter Jambon-Beurre, two distinct choices. These felt very Jeju-like, making me curious!
Other options included classic Jambon-Beurre, and the vegan item, Summer Herbs and Tofu Ricotta.
For side dishes, there was the Soup of the Day, but it was already sold out when we visited. Next time, I definitely want to try it with the soup!
After some deliberation with my friend, we finally placed our order as follows.
- Signature Mackerel Sandwich
- Italian Fresh Sandwich
- Iced Americano
- Signature Ade
3. Main Menu & Drinks

First, let me introduce the drinks.
We ordered **Stuff's (스터프) Signature Ade**, which contains milky oolong tea cold-brewed for 24 hours,
and an **Iced Americano**!
I love the oolong tea + ade combination,
so I was thrilled to find it at Stuff.
It's not overly sweet, with a subtle oolong tea flavor and a lovely carbonation that makes it
wonderfully refreshing.
The Iced Americano wasn't bitter at all;
it was clean and crisp. My friend and I both
gave it a thumbs-up!


And then, the most important part arrived: the sandwiches!
First up, the **Italian Fresh** is simply a combination that can't go wrong.
It's packed with **Stracciatella cheese**, plus
**tomatoes, basil pesto, and arugula**, living up
perfectly to its 'Italian Fresh' name.


Next up is the **Signature Mackerel** that everyone's curious about.
Inside, there's a generous amount of **boneless mackerel**.
They serve it with a grilled lemon on top, and
I lifted the bread a bit to squeeze the lemon directly onto the mackerel.
Here, the **jalapeños and carrot salad are the kick** –
these two ingredients perfectly
balance the flavor of the mackerel!
I felt like this is truly a taste you can only experience in Jeju Island (제주도),
so I **especially recommend it to those who love mackerel**.
Next time, I plan to try the Mackerel Butter Jambon-beurre too!

4. Location Information
📍 Stuff (스터프) STUFF
1st Floor, 13-1 Dongmundong-ro (동문동로), Seogwipo-si (서귀포시), Jeju-do, Republic of Korea
The location of the Seogwipo brunch cafe **Stuff** is
**not far from Olle Market (올레시장)**.
Last time I hastily visited Seogwipo alone,
I chose my accommodation partly because it looked nice, but also
largely due to its excellent location!
The next day, it was even walking distance to catch the bus to the airport, and it's a
**convenient spot for getting anywhere within
Seogwipo city**, making it highly accessible.
If you're looking for a great brunch cafe or sandwich spot in Seogwipo,
I **highly recommend Stuff**!
