WaveOn Coffee
46037 286 Haemaji-ro, Jang-an-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan"An ocean view cafe where you can enjoy the sea up close, WaveOn Coffee" WaveOn Coffee is an impressive cafe located right in front of the beach in Jang-an-eup, Gijang-gun. It has ample parking space, making it convenient to visit by car, and from the moment you step inside, the refreshing ocean view unfolds before you, creating a unique atmosphere. The indoor seating is spacious, but there are also various areas like the terrace and rooftop, allowing you to enjoy the ocean view from any spot. However, since it is quite a popular place, it tends to be bustling with people rather than having a relaxed vibe. There are also bean bag seats where you can comfortably linger for a while. I tried the iced cafe latte and orange marmalade, and the orange marmalade had a refreshing taste while the latte was better than expected. Overall, the space and scenery left a stronger impression than the drinks themselves, making it a cafe I would love to revisit on a sunny day.
