Strut Coffee Busan Review: Jeonpo's Hidden Gem Cafe

I finally made it to Strut Coffee in Busan!

When I visited Sydney, Australia,

the Estate Coffee Shop

was selected by CNN in 2025

as #1 among the top 100 cafes

in the world.

And since this place

is also known as one of the

top 100 cafes in the world,

I was super curious to check it out!

They even have three Blue Ribbons (Korea's Michelin guide equivalent)!​

Location & Address

28 Dongseong-ro 39beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan (Strut)

Just 200 meters from Exit 8 of Jeonpo Station

It's nestled about halfway between Jeonpo Station and Seomyeon Station,

tucked away in a quiet, cozy alleyway.

Menu

The menu was a little tricky for me at first,

​

​

​

Filter, Espresso,

seasonal drinks,

and special menus are available.

They use organic milk from Bumsan Farm

and Oatly oat milk.

They also have Affogato

and Apple Cinnamon Milk Tea.

​

​

​

​

​

The 'Oat-rus'

is a smooth and nutty Oatly milk coffee

sweetened with unrefined sugar.

They also serve Flat Whites,

​

​

and the 'C-Flat'

uses raw cane sugar that isn't overly sweet,

with less milk than a standard flat white

so you can really taste the subtle sweetness.

​

For lattes,

you can choose low-fat milk

or alternative milks.

​

​

​

Drinks & Desserts

​

​

We ordered an iced Truss Filter Coffee for ~$4

and an Affogato for ~$5.

We couldn't wait to try them!

The prices are on the higher side!

Definitely a bit pricey.

​

​

​

The coffee has a super strong acidity.

It's the kind of flavor that really wakes you up!

You can tell so much care and effort

went into making both of these.

​

​

​

​

The Affogato

was packed with real vanilla bean.

It was as rich as gelato,

and we absolutely loved it!

​

​

​

​

The Affogato is seriously so good.

I'm still thinking about it!

​

​

Seating Area

​

​

​

They've actually received three Blue Ribbons!

The indoor seating is a bit limited,

and though they do have some spots,

it was super packed

with quite a bit of a wait!

​

​

​

​

​

Parking lot view!

We ended up sitting outside,

but oh boy, it was freezing.

​

​

​

​

My husband was completely bundled up because of the cold,

and the wind that day... wow!

But so incredibly sweet of them—

they gave us hot packs,

and they even had blankets inside,

which was a total lifesaver!

The space is definitely on the cozier side,

but we just couldn't miss out on this coffee...

​

​

Restroom

​

​

The restroom is located outside.

​

Inside the Cafe

​

​

We got to sniff the different coffee beans

to help us choose our brew.

​

​

​

Unlike Seomyeon,

it's not chaotic.

It's peaceful

yet far from boring.

The surrounding area is packed with

amazing cafes and restaurants,

giving off a super hip, local vibe.

​

The menu is delightfully simple,

featuring reliably solid coffees

alongside unique, character-filled drinks.

If you're visiting the area,

this is a spot I highly recommend checking out!
