A fun way to relax and enjoy the spring flowers. About Cherry Blossom Season in South Korea Spring in Korea really begins with the Cherry Blossom 벚꽃 Season. People will drive for hours just for their own beautiful pictures with and of these lovely pink and white flowers. If you’re looking for spots to enjoy a refreshing drink while admiring the beauty of these blossoms, we’ve collected a few options. What Makes These Cafes “The Best” Every best list depends on the personal taste of the person that makes it. For me, I like locations easily accessed from Pyeongtaek-si, South Korea. I also prefer cafes that feel comfortable for both myself and my daughter. Cafe Narnia (Asan) Recommended cafe stop: Cafe Narnia, a magical themed cafe, adding cherry blossoms to the experience will truly feel as though you’ve stepped through the wardrobe. Great place to stop for lunch as well. People & Story Cafe (Cheonan) Located next to Cheonhoji Lake, a 1.8K walk that is stroller and pup-friendly. Not a lot of shade, so plan accordingly. Best for those days when you just need a short walk. You’ll find many spots to sit and relax, as well as other cafes along the way. Recommended cafe stop: People & Story is a unique, vintage cafe with lots of parking. You enter from the second floor with lovely indoor and outdoor views of the lake, and walk down to the first floor and bar area. My favorite coffee drink is the Einspanner. My favorite non-coffee drink is the Passion Fruit Ade. Gobok Residence Cafe (Sejong) Located next to Gobok Lake, a 6k walk. Took my toddler and I 2 hours non-stop to walk around this lake. While the route is stroller and pup-friendly, about 1/3 of the walk does not have a sidewalk so you’ll have to pay close attention to moving traffic along the way. Would recommend sunscreen and lots of water though you’ll find a number of cafes, restaurants, a sculpture park, and rest spots along the way. Recommended cafe stop: Gobok Residence Cafe has large open windows and covered outdoor seating for blossom viewing. They also have their own parking area and they are across the street from one of the entrances to the lake walk. The Present Cafe (Incheon) Recommended cafe stop: You can take many lovely paths in Jayu Park, view Incheon Harbor, a statue of General McArthur, and, of course, beautiful cherry blossoms. The Present Cafe has both first and second-floor seating with photo zones. There are both drinks, bakery items, and sandwiches. If you want to make more of your visit, walk around Fairytale Village and Chinatown. Pyeongtaek Cafes You can also find a number of locations in Pyeongtaek to view cherry blossoms. One of the locations in this blog, Kookje College, is a popular cherry blossom viewing location and is also close to a number of cute cafes. Recommended cafe stop:Cafe Jangan has a spacious second floor with large glass windows and outdoor seating. Recommended cafe stop: Boaz Mansion is also a great Cafe stop, especially if you’re heading toward Buraksan. Recommended cafe stop: If you can’t break away from Camp Humphreys for very long, consider The Cottage Cafe. It’s next to Paengseong Park, which has a collection of cherry blossom trees. Traveling to Taean & Anmyeondo? Recommended cafe stop: Travel Break Cafe is beautiful any time of year but they redecorate their Cafe in the Spring to match the Cherry Blossoms around them. With glass outdoor booths, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in your own personal viewing room. Driving further South? Recommended cafe stop: How about Cherry Blossom Cafe, in Sacheon Recommended cafe stop: Or this gorgeous spot, in Busan, along Oncheoncheon Stream Recommended cafe stop: Cherry Blossom Coffee Shop, in Changwon Year-round Cherry blossoms decor Missed Cherry Blossom Season?
