Located at the South East corner of Jeju island in South Korea, Seogwipean Bakery (서귀피안 베이커리) is a picturesque and comfortable bakery and lounge, offering ridiculously pretty ocean views of the East China Sea and Sea Of Japan. Located in a relatively quiet area of town, Seogwipean Bakery is a fantastic place for chilling with drinks and light bites, and just looking out into the distance where blue skies with fluffy white clouds meet the turquoise ocean.

Ambience at Seogwipean Bakery is picture-perfect. The air-conditioned, 4-story building houses a large bakery with open displays. Warm lights and pastel colours adorn the lounges, with comfortable wooden furnishings and modern decor that make the place suitable for lingering meals. Look out through the clear floor-to-ceiling windows and the beautiful ocean views greet you. This place is a core memory for me now.

Service at Seogwipean Bakery is largely self-service, with ordering, payment, and collection over the counter. Diners are also supposed to clean up their tables before leaving. That said, staff do help with another round of cleaning, and the counter staff display good product knowledge, as well as being able to converse in Korean, Chinese Mandarin, and English. Standards are upheld here, with management performing quality checks on their bakes daily.

Food at Seogwipean Bakery is Korean cuisine, focused on breads, pastries, confectioneries, and beverages, incorporating French, Japanese, and Korean techniques and ingredients. The result is incredibly pretty bakes that are also decently tasty, made with fresh local ingredients. However, they don't offer regular sit-down meals here, unlike a typical cafe. Portions are large, sized for individuals, but are best shared. Prices are surprisingly reasonable, budget about KRW ₩25,000 / SGD $25 per person.

At Seogwipean Bakery, they have a defined baking schedule. This means the best time to visit is from 11am to 12noon, when the majority of the breads and pastries are available, with some fresh off the oven.
