I had a feeling photos here would turn out great haha ![Sign explaining the wish candle and paper boat activities](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-04-1llbc-m-966.webp) ## What you can do at the reflection pool There were also some special activities the café runs here! ⛵️ - Wish candle experience: After leaving a Naver receipt review, you can pay ₩3,000 to float a wish candle on the water, writing down wishes for health, luck, and so on 🕯️ This reminded me of Hoi An, Vietnam (makes me want to go back..) - Free paper boat experience: Anyone using the café can try this for free! One free sheet per person — fold a piece of colored paper into a boat and float it on the reflection pool. - Getting the ultimate reflection-pool shot: Stand where the red marker is, hold your camera as low as possible in front of the building, and you can capture a gorgeous mirror-image shot 📸 On a clear day, you're guaranteed a great photo! ![Reflection pool with the building mirrored in the water](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-05-yn39j-966.webp) ![A paper boat floating on the reflection pool](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-06-x8os5-966.webp) ![The reflection pool and the café's exterior wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-07-1wy1s-966.webp) ![Vertical reflection photo taken in front of the pool](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-08-1lay7-966.webp) ## Wisteria flowers cascading from the ceiling The interior was genuinely amazing — wisteria flowers were arranged to cascade down from the ceiling 💜 I never got a proper look at lavender when I went to Sapporo, so I got my fix here with the wisteria instead lol ![Wisteria flower decorations cascading from the ceiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-09-3rkf7-m-966.webp) ![Café seating beneath the wisteria flowers](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-10-19cvw-966.webp) ![Interior draped with purple wisteria flower decorations](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-11-18s21-966.webp) ![Tables and window seating inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-12-8oqvo-966.webp) ## The counter and dessert showcase At the counter, a clean menu board greets you along with a showcase full of tempting desserts 🤗 Gujwa is famous for its carrots, so naturally the carrot juice and carrot cake are the signature items here too 🥕 On the tray next to it, the little props for the wish candle and free paper boat activities were cutely arranged, so it was fun just to look around ✨ ![Dessert showcase at the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-13-nkkzf-966.webp) ![Tray of activity props next to the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-14-nyfpw-966.webp) ![Menu board listing carrot juice and carrot cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-15-bmten-966.webp) ![Carrot cake and other desserts in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-16-1hugu-966.webp) ![Display of Jeju-scented diffusers for sale in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-17-4aoup-966.webp) ## Diffusers with the scent of Jeju The moment I stepped through the door, a subtle, lovely scent hit me and instantly lifted my mood — turns out the café sells diffusers and room fragrances infused with the scent of Jeju all over the store! They'd make a perfect souvenir or gift 🎁 ![Room fragrances and diffusers displayed for gift purchase](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-18-1mnsv-966.webp) Even the bathroom had scented Dol Hareubang (stone grandfather) soap 🧼 I kind of wanted to take one home lol ![Dol Hareubang-shaped soap in the bathroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-19-rtraa-966.webp) ## So what does the carrot tteora cake taste like? I ordered iced americano (₩5,500), iced café latte (₩6,000), and the signature carrot tteora cake (₩8,000) — three things ☕️ The moment the cake arrived, I actually gasped at how it looked... the tiny carrot shapes on top are unbelievably cute 🥹 ![Carrot tteora cake with iced americano and iced café latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-20-1i4mt-1200.webp) ![Carrot tteora cake topped with mini carrots](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-21-1qet6-966.webp) ![Instruction card for how to eat the carrot tteora cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-22-7vzkl-966.webp) They give you a card explaining how to eat the carrot tteora, and following the instructions, it really has a rice-cake-like chewy texture — so strange and so good! There are little bits of carrot packed inside too, adding texture and sweetness — it's the best 🥕 If you come here, you have to order this, seriously 👍 ![Jeju stone-wall alley near the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe-23-1c0xg-966.webp) ## A stroll down the stone-wall alley outside the café The alley around the café is unreal ㅠㅠ This is exactly the Jeju stone-wall vibe you picture in your head!! After coffee, walking through the alleys, looking around, and taking photos was so much fun. Even a random shot against the stone wall comes out looking like your best photo ever 📸 A gorgeous reflection pool, a fragrant diffuser corner, tasty desserts, and a stone-wall alley stroll — everything lined up perfectly here 🥰 If you're ever near Sehwa on Jeju, definitely stop by! ## Where it is - Sigan-eul Damda Gujwa — Sehwa-ri/Pyeongdae-ri café, Gujwa-eup (시간을담다 구좌읍 세화리 평대리 카페) - 20-1 Pyeongdae 7-gil, Gujwa-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 구좌읍 평대7길 20-1 - 33.5300316, 126.8438297 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%9C%EA%B0%84%EC%9D%84%EB%8B%B4%EB%8B%A4%20%EA%B5%AC%EC%A2%8C%EC%9D%8D%20%EC%84%B8%ED%99%94%EB%A6%AC%20%ED%8F%89%EB%8C%80%EB%A6%AC%20%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98/@33.5300316,126.8438297,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@counter-light-jeju/jeju-gujwa-water-garden-carrot-cake-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
