Cafe Gyulkkot Darak • ģ¹“ķŽ˜ ė€°ź½ƒė‹¤ė½

From the moment I saw the entrance to this cafe, I knew it was going to be amazing! The entrance is a fantastic photo spot- cute and inviting! Once inside, the cozy atmosphere was immediately welcoming, with warm lighting and charming seating that make for a perfect spot to relax.



But there's more to discover! A small door leads to the tangerine orchard, where you'll find an additional seating area in a smaller building with natural light and homey decor! During spring or summer, you can also sit outside in the orchard.



Plus, there are numerous photo zones scattered throughout the cafe and orchard.


What I tried: Green Tangerine Mousse Cake (ģ²­ź·¤ė¬“ģŠ¤ģ¼€ģ“ķ¬), Tangerine Latte (ź·¤ė¼ė–¼) and Tangerine Yanggaeng (귤양갱 - Tangerine Jellies), each bite and sip was heavenly!

You can't miss the O'Sulloc Tea Museum when in Jeju! It's one of the island's iconic spots for tea lovers,especially if you love green tea like me. This cafe was at the top of my list!



There's plenty to explore here. Start by visiting the museum, where you can learn about the history and culture of green tea. Afterwards, stroll through the tea fields for some beautiful views.



O'Sulloc Cafe is very spacious, with seating both indoors and outdoors. I chose to sit outside to fully enjoy the stunning green scenery.


After enjoying my treat, I visited Innisfree Jeju House next door! Here, you can try fun, hands-on experiences like making your own natural soap, and buy Innisfree skincare products.

Lemon Museum • ė ˆėŖ¬ė®¤ģ§€ģ—„

The Lemon Museum is a cute, lemon-themed cafe that I highly recommend! Every drink and dessert here is made with lemon, and they're all tasty! There's seating on the second floor, where you'll also find a small gallery space.



After enjoying some treats, I explored the lemon greenhouse, filled with lemon trees, creating a lovely atmosphere, with lots of spots for photos. You may even encounter some friendly chickens and peacocks wandering around, adding to the charm!


What I tried: Jeju Lemon Mouse (제주레몬묓스), Tangerine Earl Grey Cake (제주 ź°ź·¤ģ–¼ź·øė ˆģ“ģ¼€ģ“ķ¬), Jeju Hallabong Tea (ķ•œė¼ė“‰ģ°Ø), and Jeju Organic Lemon Tea (ģ œģ£¼ė¬“ė†ģ•½ė ˆėŖ¬ģ°Ø), all unique and refreshing!
