Busan hanok tea café with a 4F window wall: Suwolgyeonghwa, Songjeong

Today I want to introduce Suwolgyeonghwa (수월경화), an ocean-view café in Songjeong, Busan! If you're looking for a Songjeong café or a Busan ocean-view café, I recommend this one haha. Let's get into the honest review 🥰

Ta-da~ here's the exterior of Suwolgyeonghwa!

You head up to the 4th floor, and since there's no elevator, you have to take the stairs!!

The 4th-floor window wall and hanok-style interior

The 4th floor of Suwolgyeonghwa is the level with full windows looking out onto the Songjeong sea, and it's equipped with group tables and even a baby chair. Walking in, I really felt the hanok (traditional Korean house) atmosphere~ Overall the interior felt clean and pleasant!

The windows are full panes so the ocean view outside is so clearly visible 🌊 I thought drinks would taste even better while looking at such a pretty view 💙

There are also group tables, so it's great to come with a bigger group of friends 🤍

The tables and chairs are all wood-toned, giving off a warm and cozy feeling 🤎

The lighting was also so sparkly and pretty ✨️ giving off a really Korean atmosphere...🤍

There's also a baby chair, so anyone visiting with a little one can use it freely 👶🏻

The little props and interior details scattered around were so pretty it was fun just to look around 🩷 The potted plant on top of the millstone was such a cute little touch 💐

How to order at Suwolgyeonghwa and what's on the menu

You order at the counter using the kiosk~ And the different teas are displayed at the counter, so you can smell them yourself and pick whichever one you like 👍🏻 I loved that you could choose based on your own taste 🩷

This is the full menu board of Suwolgyeonghwa for reference 💙 Now let me introduce what we ordered!

• 🍵Iced hyeonwolhojicha: ₩8,500
• 🍵Iced lemon sunset: ₩8,500
• 🎁Dalbodre dessert box: ₩13,000
• 💸Total: ₩30,000

Our drinks and dessert arrived! The cups, teacups, and even the dessert box design were so pretty 🩷

The visuals alone were so pretty it almost felt a shame to eat 🥰

They also gave us a card with a kind description of the tea, which I appreciated! The Asian-style painting on the back of the card was also so beautiful...🌄

There were tea leaves placed on top of the cup, and they told us these were only for smelling, not for eating~ Getting to smell even the tea leaves meant I could enjoy the fragrance for a long time, which I loved 👍🏻

Iced Hyeonwol Hojicha and iced Lemon Sunset: how do they taste?

Hyeonwolhojicha is a hojicha (roasted green tea) with a nutty, smoky roasted flavor, layered with the deep nuttiness of brown rice and the rich sweetness of melted brown sugar, creating a sweet yet familiar flavor that expresses something new within the familiar. It was really delicious 🍵💛

Lemon sunset is a tea that combines hibiscus, a tart red mugunghwa (rose of Sharon) family fruit, lemon myrtle for a refreshing citrusy zing, and stevia for natural sweetness — a tea with the charm of tart, refreshing, and sweet all at once, and it was totally my type 🍋🌺

Both hyeonwolhojicha and lemon sunset matched my taste perfectly, so I was very satisfied 🥰🩷

What's in the 13,000 won Dalbodre dessert box

For dessert we ordered the dalbodre box 🎁 The plating alone looked so pretty and delicious 😋 Dalbodre is a pure Korean word meaning sweet and soft! It was great being able to try five different desserts all at once 👍🏻

They also gave us a card describing each dessert 📝

Even the plates and cutlery had a really luxurious feel to their design 🍽

This is a flower-scented ganache monaka made with French chocolate 🩷

This is an injeolmi (sweet rice cake) skewer, where traditional glutinous rice cake, bean powder, honey, and brown rice come together beautifully 🤤

This is a black rice sulbbang (steamed bread) made through makgeolli (rice wine) fermentation 💜

This is a gamtae myeongnan financier, a sweet-and-salty harmony of the sea flavor of the East and the classic sweetness of the West 🩷

Lastly, a whole red bean butter monaka, where whole red bean paste, French gourmet butter, nuts, and glutinous rice cake come together harmoniously 💛

The signature dalbodre dessert box was overall very sweet, a unique dessert that blended East and West beautifully — a crowd-pleasing flavor that anyone would like without much divide in preference! Both my friend and I ate it all up happily 🩷

Watching the beach train, and the 3rd floor's low floor seating

Suwolgyeonghwa's biggest strength is its beautiful ocean view 🌊💙 I loved being able to watch the Haeundae Beach Train pass by too 👍🏻

The café is made up of the 3rd and 4th floors~ From this photo onward, this is the interior of the 3rd floor!!

The 3rd floor has a different charm from the 4th floor 💛 There are a lot of floor-seated tables here, which really brings out the hanok feel haha.

Who will enjoy Suwolgyeonghwa most

If you want to enjoy sweet desserts and deeply flavorful tea while gazing at Songjeong Beach and the beach train, definitely visit Suwolgyeonghwa 🩷 I took so many great photos and had a proper healing trip when I visited this time 🥰 The café's interior and atmosphere were so pretty that it left a lasting impression — I strongly recommend Suwolgyeonghwa 💫
