Cheonan mountain-view café with chicken mushroom risotto: Geurimseu

What kind of brunch café is Geurimseu Cafe in Cheonan?

Geurimseu Cafe (그림스 카페) is a large café in Cheonan where you can enjoy bakery items and a proper brunch meal in one stop. I was looking for a brunch café in Cheonan and ended up here. The space is wide and comfortable, and the mountain view through the big windows is a real draw. It's great for a relaxing cup of coffee, and with good bread and brunch dishes too, it made for a lovely, unhurried time :)

Location, opening hours and brunch hours

Geurimseu Cafe is open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and brunch is available from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. To get there, head toward Mokcheon on Nambu-daero, and before you reach the Cheongsam intersection, take the road between Cheonan Uri Hospital and Gagu Mom toward Guryong-dong. After about 2.5 km, you'll see Geurimseu Cafe across the road on your left.

If you want brunch and bakery together, check the hours and drop by :)

Atmosphere and the mountain view through the big windows

The café is spacious and kept neat and clean, so it never felt stuffy. The moment I walked in, the wide space caught my eye, and the whole place was tidy and comfortable. Thanks to all that room, I could spend my time at ease without feeling cramped.

The mountain view through the big windows was especially impressive. Sitting inside and looking out, I felt like I'd stepped away from everyday life for a bit. It's not just a place for coffee; you can enjoy good food and bread while taking in the scenery, and that's the charm. It suits anyone looking for a roomy, large café in Cheonan, or a spot to stop at during a drive.

What's on the brunch menu at Geurimseu Cafe?

The brunch menu runs from shrimp oil pasta to pizza, risotto and salad. Another appeal of Geurimseu Cafe is that you can enjoy that variety of brunch dishes together with the bakery. It's easy to choose by taste: good when you want a light salad, and just as good when you want a hearty meal.

Shrimp oil pasta

That day I ordered the shrimp oil pasta, chicken mushroom risotto and ricotta salad, plus an iced Americano and dessert, so I got a meal and café time in one go. The shrimp oil pasta was a nice brunch pick, and I could eat leisurely while enjoying that classic pasta flavor.

Chicken mushroom risotto

The chicken mushroom risotto was also good ordered alongside the shrimp oil pasta and shared. Ordering a variety lets everyone pick what suits them, so it would work well if you visit with several people.

Ricotta salad

The ricotta salad was a nice side between the main dishes. Fresh vegetables and ricotta cheese added a refreshing touch to the hearty brunch.

The bakery and the white roll custard cream castella

I heard that Geurimseu Cafe bakes its bread fresh every day, with a policy of making and discarding it the same day. With such a varied brunch menu, it felt different from cafés that only offer bread and drinks. That's good news for anyone who cares about the bakery to go with their coffee, and I was really satisfied to finish the meal with something sweet.

My dessert pick was the white roll custard cream castella (sponge cake). It's a fluffy castella packed with custard cream, so anyone who likes soft, sweet desserts should keep an eye on it. It also went well with coffee after brunch.

From the meal to dessert, everything can be done in one place at Geurimseu Cafe, so there's no need to go find another café. Personally, I found that really convenient.

Coffee and drinks at Geurimseu Cafe

After the meal I ordered an iced Americano. Coffee is the one thing you can't skip with brunch and bakery, right? A cold cup of coffee after eating was a nice way to take a break, and with the wide space and the view through the windows, it was a relaxing café time.

The coffee menu is varied too. There's Geurimseu Coffee, which combines the sweetness of chocolate with the nuttiness of nuts, as well as distinctive drinks like the Geurimseu Butter Latte and pine needle ade.
