The most magical atmosphere inside the cafe, it felt like we had walked into a grassland forest oasis. The central water feature exudes calm, and that’s all just the aesthetics. The coffee and desserts were excellent. Highly recommend the strawberry and pistachio Mont Blanc, layered textures and decadent ingredients make for a delightful dessert.

Super cute autumn fox themed cafe! Fluffy dried grass, large koi pond water feature, autumn scenes on the compound screens behind the counter. Dessert menu comprises variations of MontBlanc (chestnut and cream on a cake base) - We went with chestnut ice cream montblanc but they also had pistachio strawberry and earl grey. Drinks and desserts were generously sized and not too sweet - what we thought was honeycomb was actually a crunchy biscuit. Standard prices for a cafe. They are open late with alcoholic drinks too. Friendly staff, English menu available. Nice place to take a break while walking around town.

While travelling to Jeonju city, I came across this beautiful place that looked recently opened. Dishes were well prepared with exceptional taste - especially Mont Blanc! People working there were all very professional and kind. The young person I talked to for a while turned out to be the owner and he was extra friendly-! Should revisit soon.

2025.9.17 Wed It’s rainy Wed. The cafe was not busy. We wanted to have a dessert here. But the no sharing policy put us off. The dessert portions were huge. And we don’t have the appetite for a huge dessert. The autumn decor is gold. Owner should consider relaxing the policy for non-peak hours.

A random find in a country very far away from home. A must visit place, never seen anything like it. The interior design is outstanding. The decor and attention to every piece of furniture, from chairs to trays to spoons is spectacular. There’s trees, live fish and water. The vibe truly is 10/10. We were soo full and weren’t even intending to eat but after finding this place we just couldn’t help ourselves. Truly one of the best bingsu we’ve ever had! Also the service was wonderful the owner was soo kind! Not the kind to usually leave a review but just had to this time!

Dessert was unique and delicious, a soft rich cream covering a layered sponge cake, with a light crunchy biscuit at the bottom. Not too sweet and unlike anything I've had before! Requires one item per person, but the ambiance and food are worth it!
