I stopped by around 5 p.m. on a weekday for two breads, chocolate cake, and drinks; the spacious floors and bakery selection were good, but rain kept me from fully enjoying the sea view or visiting the rooftop. ## Good to know - **Address**: 강원특별자치도 강릉시 해안로 607 1~3층 / 607 Haean-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State, South Korea, Floors 1–3 - **Crowds at my visit**: Around 5 p.m. on a weekday, there was no wait and plenty of seating. - **What I tried**: Condensed Milk Pie, Soboro Pastry Twist, and Valrhona Chocolate Bliss. - **Ordering and returns**: I ordered, paid, and picked up on the first floor, then returned dishes there myself. - **Conveniences**: The elevator had a shelf for food and drinks, and each floor had a self-packing station. - **Drink requirement**: At the time of my visit, one drink per person was not required. *as written by the visitor on Sep 3, 2026* ## How did I get to Baegya Coffee by Sacheonjin Beach? On this trip to Gangneung, I visited Baegya Coffee (백야커피), directly in front of Sacheonjin Beach. It is a large bakery café a little away from the Gyeongpo and Gangmun beaches I usually visit. ![Baegya Coffee by Sacheonjin Beach in Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-01-1ekjh-1200.webp) *Baegya Coffee, a Sacheonjin Beach café* While taking the Gangneung City Tour Bus toward Jumunjin Beach, I spotted a large café by the sea and saved it on my map. On the way back, I got off at the Sacheonjin Beach stop and visited. ![Baegya Coffee, a large Sacheonjin Beach café, at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-02-14tyt-900.webp) *Baegya Coffee by Sacheonjin Beach at night* ## What were the indoor space and terrace like? Because the café uses the entire building, it felt spacious as soon as I walked in. The first floor felt open, and there was an elevator for moving between floors. In particular, the elevator had a shelf for setting down food and drinks, which made it easier to travel with a tray. ![Indoor space for moving between floors at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-03-1k2gs-900.webp) ![Food and drink shelf in Baegya Coffee's elevator](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-04-qw8sq-900.webp) Each floor had slightly different seating arrangements and lighting, so it was enjoyable to look for a seat I liked. ![Floor-by-floor seating and lighting at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-05-gqqhn-900.webp) ![Indoor seating area at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-06-uhkqn-900.webp) There was seating on the terrace, too. On a cool day, I thought it would be nice to drink coffee outside while looking at the sea. ![Baegya Coffee terrace seating facing the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-07-hr4zo-900.webp) ![Outdoor terrace seating at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-08-18br8-900.webp) ## Could I enjoy the sea view on a rainy day? Baegya Coffee is directly in front of Sacheonjin Beach, and the building is arranged so visitors can look out at the sea. However, it was raining and the weather was poor on the day I visited, so I could not fully enjoy the clear ocean scenery. ![Sea view from Baegya Coffee facing Sacheonjin Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-09-25tcm-900.webp) *Baegya Coffee, an ocean-view café by Sacheonjin Beach* I had heard that the rooftop also has a lookout-like space with sea views. I forgot to go up that day, so I did not get to use it myself. If I return, I would like to look around the rooftop on a clear day. ![Rooftop sea-view space at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-10-1kh3j-900.webp) *Ocean-view lookout on Baegya Coffee's rooftop* ## What was the bakery selection and wait like at my visit? There were more bakery options than I expected, so I spent a while deciding what to eat. ![Various bakery items available at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-11-1mnak-900.webp) ![Display area with assorted breads at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-12-ku85a-900.webp) When I visited around 5 p.m. on a weekday, there was no wait and plenty of seating. I had been traveling since dawn and wanted something sweet, so I ordered two breads, one slice of cake, and drinks. ![Breads, slice of cake, and drinks ordered at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-13-156lh-900.webp) Considering that it is a large café by the sea, I found the drink and bakery prices relatively manageable. ## How did ordering, dish returns, and packing leftover bread work? After choosing the bread, I ordered and paid for it with my drinks on the first floor. A pager buzzed when the drinks were ready, and I picked them up myself on the first floor. ![Drink information available when ordering at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-14-xf2ra-900.webp) *Baegya Coffee drink selection* Afterward, I returned my dishes myself on the first floor. There was also a self-packing station on one side of each floor, which made it easy to take leftover bread with me. ![Dish return and self-service area at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-15-1qfgo-900.webp) At the time of my visit, ordering one drink per person was not required. I liked being able to choose a variety of bakery items I wanted rather than matching drinks to the number of people. ## How were the two breads and chocolate cake I tried? ### What was the texture of the Condensed Milk Pie like? The Condensed Milk Pie had a familiar flavor, like something I had eaten somewhere before. It had distinct flaky layers like a pastry and crumbled crisply with each bite. The condensed milk also made it slightly chewy and cling to my teeth, with a clear sweetness. ![Condensed Milk Pie ordered at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-16-19kvw-900.webp) ![Flaky-layered Condensed Milk Pie at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-17-1pcz3-900.webp) ### What did the Soboro Pastry Twist taste like? The Soboro Pastry Twist had a nutty, mild flavor on its own. The topping felt like lemon chocolate, adding a little tang and sweetness. Overall, it was not overpowering and was easy to eat. ![Soboro Pastry Twist eaten at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-18-1kwrf-900.webp) ### Was the Valrhona Chocolate Bliss very sweet? The Valrhona Chocolate Bliss was the kind of mousse cake I like. It had a chocolate flavor and was soft and moist. ![Valrhona Chocolate Bliss chocolate cake at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-19-1uomw-900.webp) *Valrhona Chocolate Bliss chocolate cake* It was sweet but not overly sweet for my taste. I also liked the chocolate coating on the outside, the crisp chocolate on top, and the richer chocolate layer inside. ![Mousse-style chocolate cake eaten at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-20-12hek-900.webp) All the breads and cake I had that day went well with an Americano. ## Was it a good stop on a walk from Gyeongpo Beach? After walking a little farther from the far end of Gyeongpo Beach toward Sacheonjin Beach, I came across Baegya Coffee. After spending time at the café, we kept walking toward Gyeongpo Beach. If you are looking for a bakery café near the sea on the Gyeongpo side, it is in a location worth considering as well. ![Baegya Coffee by Sacheonjin Beach, walkable from Gyeongpo Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-21-n0d1a-900.webp) *Baegya Coffee, an ocean-view café by Sacheonjin Beach* The biggest disappointment of this visit was not being able to fully enjoy the sea view because of the rain. Still, its location directly in front of the beach, spacious interior, and terrace stayed with me. ![Exterior view of Baegya Coffee from outdoors](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-22-1fj7o-966.webp) *Exterior view of Baegya Coffee* The breads and cake I tried were all tasty overall. Tired from traveling since dawn, I was able to take a break with sweet bakery items and coffee. ![Bakery items and coffee enjoyed at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-23-ykv4p-900.webp) ![A visit to rest at Baegya Coffee by Sacheonjin Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery-24-1xuzj-900.webp) ## Where it is - Baegya Coffee (백야커피) (백야커피) - 607 Haean-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State, South Korea, Floors 1–3 - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 해안로 607 1~3층 - 37.8115563, 128.8990465 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%B1%EC%95%BC%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC/@37.8115563,128.8990465,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cafe-windowsill/baekya-coffee-sageunjin-beach-bakery/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
