Wondang train-view bakery café, solo kaya salt bread: Pine Terrace

Maybe it was because some summer heat still lingered in the daytime, but I wanted a cold cup of coffee, some tasty bread and a relaxed break. So I headed to Pine Terrace, a bakery café in Deogyang-gu, Goyang!

Tasty bread and coffee, plus a mini zoo and a train view. Pine Terrace is an unusual bakery café that's great for spending some unhurried time.

How do you get to Pine Terrace, and where do you park?

Pine Terrace is at 263 Hoguk-ro 1245beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi, and it's open Mon–Sun 09:00–21:00 (last order 20:40). Parking is free, and it offers takeout, delivery, reservations and group use. There are separate men's and women's restrooms, high chairs, Wi-Fi and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

If you're taking public transport, catch village bus 12 from across from The First Prime Apartments or in front of Wondang Pharmacy, and get off at the Seonjin Survival stop.

Parking is really generous here. You can park easily right in front of the shop, and if you go further in, there's a huuuge, roomy parking lot.

From the café's location you can also catch a glimpse of a train passing by every now and then.

What animals are in the Pine Terrace mini zoo?

The outdoor area at Pine Terrace has a mini zoo, ta-da! You can see ornamental chickens, peacocks, rabbits, sugar gliders, parrots and more up close.

Even if you don't do anything special, there's this little something to look at, so kids probably wouldn't get bored here!

Inside Pine Terrace and the second-floor train-view seats

The shop is split into a first and second floor, so it felt roomier and more relaxed than I expected.

The big windows mean it doesn't feel stuffy, and it looks like a nice place to take your time while watching the scenery outside.

I wanted to relax a bit more, so up to the second floor I went!

By the way, there's no elevator at Pine Terrace :) The second floor was a bit quieter than the first! On weekends I bet it fills up here too, haha.

The second floor also has a terrace, so on a nice day it would be lovely to spend some time out in the fresh air.

You can rest in the cool indoors and still enjoy the view outside. Very nice indeed 👍

If you sit facing the stairs, you can watch the trains go by! Haha.

The restroom is on the first floor, so keep that in mind if you need it!

Oh, and if you have a little one, a high chair matters, and Pine Terrace has them, so don't worry :)

What drinks and breads does Pine Terrace have?

Pine Terrace has quite a wide range of drinks, from coffee to lattes, smoothies, ades, teas and fresh fruit juices.

For coffee, you can add shots or switch to decaf to suit your taste. I heard you can even choose the strength of the shot, so it seems easy to tune the coffee to your liking.

There are also lattes, milk teas, ades, yogurt drinks and teas for people who don't drink coffee, so you can pick whatever suits you.

There are drinks for kids too, so Pine Terrace, a Wondang bakery café, is perfect for a family outing, right!? 😉

And of course we can't skip the bakery items that go well with drinks.

Pine Terrace sells many kinds of bread as well as sandwiches and cake slices, so you can enjoy anything from a simple meal to a sweet dessert.

There were so many delicious-looking breads that it wasn't easy to choose. If I hadn't been alone, I would have picked several to try, sob. What a shame..

My solo order: iced americano and kaya salt bread

• Iced americano
• Kaya salt bread (salt bread with kaya, a sweet coconut-egg jam)

After much agonizing, I picked a cool iced americano and a sweet-and-salty kaya salt bread.

How is the iced americano at Pine Terrace?

On a hot day, a cold iced americano is the best!

I'm told the americano at Pine Terrace uses dark-roasted beans that bring out a deep body and a sweet yet bittersweet taste.

Taking a clean sip of coffee and then eating the bread gave me a sugar boost and a proper feeling of taking a break. If you like coffee with a nutty, savory flavor, you'll definitely be happy with it.

What does the kaya salt bread at Pine Terrace taste like?

The kaya salt bread at Pine Terrace pairs sweet kaya jam with rich gourmet butter.

The signature sweetness of the kaya jam plus the nutty richness of the butter made it great with coffee.

It's a good combination for when you want a sweet bread that isn't too heavy.

My husband.. loves salt bread.. so next time I'll bring him along to try it! (Whenever I eat something yummy, I tend to think of my husband...)
