Evening dessert café in Gwangalli with soft lighting: Deokmi Atelier

What kind of café is Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch?

Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch (덕미 아틀리에 광안점) is a house-conversion café and dessert spot at 25 Gwangnam-ro 172beon-gil, 1st floor, in Gwangalli, Busan. There is no parking lot, so keep that in mind. I was so happy with this place that I had to bring it to you, and I really recommend everyone go!

I hear Deokmi Atelier is the big name for cafés in Gwangalli these days? I visited the Gijang branch once and loved it, so I went back for this one. The Gwangalli branch has a noticeably different vibe from Gijang!

It's a converted house, and I went in the evening. The weather and the mood this time of year matched so well, I can't even tell you!!

Inside Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch in the evening

The warm atmosphere and soft lighting are the heart of this place. The moment I walked in, I was smitten. Deokmi really is love.. I hear there's a Haeundae branch now too, so I'll definitely visit that next time. From now on, Gwangalli café means Deokmi Atelier, no question.

This warm mood, what am I supposed to do with it? This is what a café should be! It's great for wrapping up the day chatting with friends, for coming alone to relax and heal, or for a couple to rest a while. It was a really lovely space.

The soft glow of the lighting is totally my style,, honestly! I'm not a fan of cafés that are just bright. This is the kind of mood that's easy on the eyes and calming for the mind.

Even the terrace spaces,,, I caught myself thinking, I want to come here every day. That's Deokmi Gwang-an for you. I was really happy with the Gijang branch too, so Deokmi must simply be the best ㅠㅠ

What we ordered at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch

We ordered two drinks and two desserts. Deokmi is famous for having the best desserts in Gwangalli. I've been to a lot of cafés, and many of them, being commercial spaces, fall short on taste, but Deokmi is perfect, so I see why it's so popular.

• Vanilla latte
• Matcha strawberry latte
• Crème brûlée French toast
• Fig Earl Grey tiramisu

What am I supposed to do with this mood,,,, you can feel the comfort just from the photos, right? Cafés you see on Instagram are often hard on the eyes and uncomfortable even for a short stay, but at Deokmi I only stayed a little while and still felt healed. I loved that.

The French toast came out fast

Our whole spread came out not long after we ordered! I ordered the crème brûlée French toast and assumed it would take quite a while, so I was really glad it came out quickly.

Great mood, super kind staff, tasty drinks and desserts, perfect accessibility, nothing was lacking here. I really want to strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a café in Gwangalli.

How could anyone resist this look meow••

My sugar was so low that day and I was desperate for something delicious, and Deokmi totally recharged me. What would I have done if I hadn't come to Deokmi ㅠㅠ

Is the crème brûlée French toast really that good?

The crème brûlée French toast at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch is pudding-soft and was the best thing I had on this visit. It's even better than what I ate in Japan,,, I'm completely hooked,,, My husband doesn't even like French toast, and I was surprised to see him eat this happily and say it was good.

French toast as tasty as pudding, ah.. the hidden menu item that makes me think about going back to Deokmi tomorrow. Deokmi really is the dessert place in Gwangalli. Come and definitely try this!

Fig Earl Grey tiramisu, generous with the figs

They put in so many figs that I was honestly shocked, like, is this right,, It felt like they gave me a whole fig; when I scooped with my spoon, only fig came up..

And the French toast, I scraped up every last bit of the sauce! It's really so good, please try it.
