After looking around the main building and annex, I sat in the relatively quiet annex and had coffee and pastries while taking in the view. ![Exterior view of Sum near Namhansanseong in Gwangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-01-balx2-900.webp) ## How is the parking for visitors arriving by car? The café is at 108-11 Ojeon-gil, Namhansanseong-myeon, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do. When I arrived by car, spaces that had just opened up were quickly being filled, but the parking area still felt spacious. There is free private parking, which made it an easy stop during a drive. ![Exterior of Sum near Namhansanseong](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-02-19amh-900.webp) *Sum near Namhansanseong* ![Parking area around Sum near Namhansanseong](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-03-l67ym-900.webp) *Sum, a café for enjoying Namhansanseong scenery* ## Which is better for a quiet break: the main building or annex? Through the main entrance, I found the area for choosing pastries and ordering. Even from the first floor of the main building, the floor-to-ceiling windows looked out onto the scenery. ![Main building interior at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-04-17ubh-900.webp) *Inside Sum near Namhansanseong* From the first floor of the main building, I went out toward the terrace and walked to the annex. It was sunny on the day I visited, and some people were spending time on the terrace. The Namhansanseong scenery was visible all along the way. ![View around the terrace at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-05-6x0v4-900.webp) *Terrace at Sum near Namhansanseong* The first floor of the annex had projected video and music, creating an atmosphere that felt good for conversation. I thought it would also be nice to sit there on a date. ![Annex space at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-bdb2/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-06-1ykz7-1200.webp) *Annex at Sum near Namhansanseong* I chose the second floor of the annex. The view had an autumn-like feel, and there were many seats and tables, so it looked suitable for families or groups as well. ![Indoor seats and view at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-07-ao4t5-900.webp) *View from Sum near Namhansanseong* When I visited, the annex was relatively quiet, while the second floor of the main building felt brighter and more comfortable for talking. I chose the annex because I wanted to rest quietly, but I think I would sit in the main building if I were there to chat. ## Was there still a wide bread selection in the afternoon? When I arrived around 3 pm, some breads had only one left and others were already sold out. Still, there was a wide variety to choose from. I was deciding between injeolmi bread (rice-cake powder bread), croissants, and more, but missed a few items while choosing. ![Bakery display area at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-08-zd9o5-900.webp) *Bakery at Sum near Namhansanseong* ![Breads displayed at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-09-1y2m4-900.webp) ![Bakery selection at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-10-fowhs-900.webp) ![Bread display at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-11-1ft78-900.webp) ![Breads being chosen at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-12-1jfep-900.webp) ![Varied bread display at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-13-1ncqb-900.webp) ![Bakery display case at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-14-oe0j1-900.webp) ![Bread selection prepared at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-15-1fffy-900.webp) ![Breads viewed at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-16-n35q4-900.webp) ![Bakery display at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-17-lp8uv-900.webp) ![Bakery items displayed at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-18-1d5h0-900.webp) ![Bread selection area at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-19-qudos-900.webp) ![Bread display case viewed at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-20-h75ov-900.webp) ![Bakery selection at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-21-1zhu1-900.webp) ![Breads available at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-22-pgmwg-900.webp) ## What do coffee and drinks cost? The original post lists the following prices for coffee and drinks. - Americano ₩6,500 - Café latte and flat white ₩7,000 each - Bonui chestnut latte ₩8,000 - Mocha cream latte ₩8,500 - Bora Bora lemonade ₩8,500 - Green grape ade and cheonggyul omija ade (green tangerine and five-flavor berry ade) ₩7,500 each - Yogurt smoothie ₩7,500 - Strawberry yogurt smoothie ₩8,000 ![Coffee and drink menu information at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-23-191zv-900.webp) ![Drink menu information at Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery/soom-namhansanseong-forest-view-bakery-24-1q4hs-900.webp) ## How were the pastries with coffee? I ordered an Americano for ₩6,500, a café latte for ₩7,000, an almond kouign-amann for ₩4,900, and an éclair for ₩3,600. I initially planned to choose just one pastry, but ordered another after seeing the display. I tried the éclair first. I felt it was best eaten right after ordering while it was cool. I also liked having a bite with coffee. The almond kouign-amann also paired well with coffee. It was nice to take my time over the pastries and coffee while looking at the scenery. I thought it would be a good stop on a family outing to Namhansanseong or a drive for a date. ## What are the opening and last-order times? According to the original post, weekday hours are 10:00 am to 8:30 pm, with last orders at 8:00 pm.
