Here are two serene cafés located in traditional Jeju houses, perfect for spending leisurely time.
Jeju Onggi Garden, Café Yawon
Café Yawon in Jeju is a traditional Jeju house built within the Jeju forest (Gotjawal), and it preserves over 1,000 traditional Jeju onggi (earthenware).
The garden of ‘Yawon’ evokes wonder, “How can a café have such a view?” It is a beautifully curated space by the owner. With large windows capturing seasonal changes, it is ideal for basking in sunlight on bright days or enjoying the charming scenery during rain or snow. Outdoor seating is also available for a camping-like experience amidst the seasons.
