Cafe Bomnal2540 Aewol-ri, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si9AM to 9PM
The first cafe my friends took me to was Cafe Bomnal, a coffee shop by the sea that they said was famous because it was where the Korean drama series "Warm and Cozy" was shot. Cafe Bomnal has four resident corgis and many interesting spots and details to admire and take photos of. The cafe overlooks the sea with sitting areas inside (to take shelter in on cold days) and outside (to enjoy the breeze on warm days).
Cafe Aewol Monsant2546 Aewol-ri, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si9AM to 8PM
We also had a look-see at Cafe Aewol Monsant, another cafe just a few steps from Cafe Bomnal. The dining area is surrounded by glass for an unobstructed view of the sea. It was full when we visited, with most of the cafe goers staying inside to keep warm that cold spring day.
The Romantic476 Gyorae-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si10AM to 9PM
JaeHwa, being a photographer, took us to one of the places he frequents to shoot portraits: The Romantic. Understandably, as this cafe has many pretty corners inside and outside, perfect for a photoshoot.
Cafe Do Doo342 Seohaean-ro, Jeju-si10AM to 11PM
Cafe Do Doo is a Simpsons themed cafe with a resident golden retriever named Do Doo. The cafe is decked out in Simpsons art, has Simpsons character masks and a blue Marge wig you can don, and even has some Simpsons stuff for sale. On the second floor, there are four half-bed-half-couches made of wooden pallets facing the road and the sea beyond.
