Cheonan café with 3 parking lots and bacon shrimp cream risotto: Pino

Hi everyone 💖 Today I visited Pino Cafe in Pungse, Cheonan, where I got to feel the autumn vibes in a pretty garden and enjoy brunch too!

Located right next to Taehaksan Natural Recreation Forest, Pino Cafe is a large café with a garden spanning about 3,000 pyeong! These days the garden is full of blooming cosmos, so I went for brunch and ended up flower-viewing too haha 🌼 Each space was fun to explore on its own, so let me walk you through it one by one~!

What Pino Cafe Cheonan looks like outside, and where to park

Pino Cafe Cheonan's parking is split across three separate lots. The first thing I liked as soon as I arrived was the sheer size of the parking area!

There's Lot 1 in front of the main building, Lot 2 behind the Siyudang building, and Lot 3 beside the annex — three lots in total, so parking shouldn't be a big worry even during peak weekend hours!

The yellow cosmos garden and tent zone in mid-September

As of mid-September, Pino Cafe's garden was full of yellow cosmos in bloom. The first thing that catches your eye as you enter the café is the garden overflowing with cosmos 💛 They were absolutely packed in bloom and just so beautiful 👀

Next to the garden there's also a wide lawn and a tent zone! It has a different charm from indoor seating — you almost feel like you're camping out in open nature haha. It looked great for spending quiet time with your group, and sipping coffee while looking out at the green scenery felt like a mini getaway :) Dogs are allowed in the outdoor spaces too, so if you're looking for a place to visit with your pup, keep that in mind 🐶

Inside Pino Cafe's main building, annex and self-service station

Pino Cafe's main building has floor-to-ceiling windows, while the annex has more spacious seating. The inside of the main building is also lined with glass walls, so there's zero sense of being closed in!

Sipping coffee while looking out at the garden view through the window sounded like pure happiness!! 🥺 The interior is full of atmosphere, so it definitely earns its reputation as a vibey spot~

Next to the main building there's also a spacious, comfortable annex! ✨ The seats are spread further apart and the space feels open, so if you're coming with a group or want to chat more comfortably, I'd recommend the annex haha

There's also a self-service packing station in one corner of the annex, so you can pack up any leftover desserts to take home! 🥐🍰

Pino Cafe Cheonan's menu and what we ordered

Looking over the menu board, there's a good variety of both brunch dishes and coffee options, so it seemed easy to enjoy as either a meal or a café outing!

There's a wide range of bakery items too, and Pino Cafe is especially famous for its salt bread!! We ordered a solid lineup of brunch dishes along with our coffee.

• Spicy bulgogi rosé pasta
• Bacon shrimp cream risotto
• Egg mayo croissant sandwich set
• Iced café latte
• Iced americano

How do the spicy bulgogi rosé pasta and bacon shrimp cream risotto taste?

All the brunch dishes we ordered at Pino Cafe arrived together. With coffee, a sandwich, pasta, and risotto all laid out, the table was completely full 💖

The spicy bulgogi rosé pasta had a spicy kick added to the smooth rosé cream, so there wasn't a hint of heaviness!! It was also loaded with bulgogi, so it was seriously delicious!

The bacon shrimp cream risotto combined thick, creamy sauce with plump shrimp and bacon — savory and smooth, so anyone who loves cream dishes absolutely has to order this!

The egg mayo croissant sandwich paired crispy bread with soft egg mayo, making it perfect for brunch haha. Paired with the americano, it was the best combo 🤎
