The café itself was so pretty, and the desserts and coffee were delicious too — it was such a good time..! ![Path leading to the Monocle Jeju entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-03-1x431-900.webp) ![Landscaping at the front of Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-04-dbm06-900.webp) ## From the entrance to the garden: a hidden café in Namwon-eup Even the walk from the entrance to the front of the café was pretty, and since it's not a giant, crowded café packed with people, it had this hidden-gem feeling. I went early in the morning so there were no other customers, which made it even better! Such a good way to start the day~ The landscaping around the café is done so beautifully that just sitting outside felt healing. Seriously, you have to hit up a pretty café when you travel~ And it's not just pretty — Monocle Jeju has been a Seogwipo dessert café that's kept its Blue Ribbon since 2020. It's hard to find a café that's both pretty and delicious, you know,,, ![Monocle Jeju garden and outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-05-ton8z-900.webp) ![Exterior of Blue Ribbon-selected café Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-06-3qew2-900.webp) ![Green garden view at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-07-16280-900.webp) Coming in early meant I was the very first customer, nobody else around, which made me even happier~ The smell of baking bread inside the store was amazing too >< ![Interior of Monocle Jeju as the first customer of the morning](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-08-pnozv-900.webp) ![Dessert display case at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-09-6w53k-900.webp) ![Cheesecakes displayed at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-10-1v3vf-900.webp) ## Monocle Jeju dessert menu Monocle Jeju is known as a cheesecake spot in Seogwipo, and the sweet pumpkin cheesecake is the most famous signature menu item. - Classic cheesecake - Earl Grey cheesecake - Matcha cheesecake - Victoria cake - Chocolate fudge cake - Classic scone - Lemon madeleine - Pound cake I'm already a dessert fanatic, so I wanted to try literally everything,, ![Interior with large windows and wooden door at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-11-l3s21-900.webp) After ordering, I took my time wandering around the inside of the café — the green garden view outside paired so well with the wooden door, and the sunlight pouring in through the huge windows was just gorgeous..! (Suddenly going full sentimental mode) ![Seating with garden view through the window at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-12-l683d-900.webp) ![Sunlit table inside Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-13-tsf9e-900.webp) ![Interior design and window view at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-14-1o511-900.webp) ## The three things we ordered at Monocle Jeju After agonizing over the menu for a while, I finally landed on the signature sweet pumpkin cheesecake, the signature crown brown coffee, and a scone fresh out of the oven! (And yes, I secretly ordered one more cake to go..) ![Green garden seen from the window at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-15-15x2f-900.webp) The green scenery outside the window from inside the café was really pretty~ ![Dessert and coffee moved to an outdoor table at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-16-cqxui-900.webp) ![Cake and coffee at Monocle Jeju's garden outdoor seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-17-hatt9-1200.webp) It felt like a bit of a waste to enjoy such delicious desserts and coffee only sitting inside, so I brought everything outside~ ![A slice of Monocle Jeju's sweet pumpkin cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-18-17tki-843.webp) ![Close-up of the sweet pumpkin cheesecake cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-19-brw5p-883.webp) ### Sweet pumpkin cheesecake Monocle Jeju's signature sweet pumpkin cheesecake! First of all, I love that it's flour-free~ It's a creamy cheesecake made with fresh pumpkin grown in Jeju, and honestly..! It's completely moist with that real 100% pumpkin feel, blending with the soft cheese so that you taste the pumpkin's own natural sweetness rather than anything artificial — soft, healthy, and delicious all at once. ![Freshly baked and cooled classic scone at Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-20-11umj-900.webp) ### Fresh-baked classic scone The smell of baking scones filled the store, but the display case was empty, so I asked — turns out a fresh batch had just come out of the oven and had only just cooled down, so I quickly ordered one~ A freshly baked scone is just... wow..! Crispy on the outside, so soft inside, and even better with jam spread on it! ![Monocle Jeju's signature crown brown coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-21-12xe7-850.webp) ### Signature crown brown coffee And then the signature crown brown coffee! It's Monocle's signature coffee made with house-made caramel cream and brown cheese, where the sweet coffee, soft cream, and salty brown cheese come together in perfect harmony — I basically chugged the whole thing down~ ![Boxed takeout cake ordered from Monocle Jeju](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-22-1ooul-900.webp) ## Takeout cake kept refrigerated until we left The cake I'd ordered to go earlier was packed up and kept in the fridge for me, then handed over when I was leaving~ ![Finishing morning desserts in the Monocle Jeju garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-23-1mdyt-900.webp) ![Monocle Jeju garden and outdoor space](https://img.superchart.com/images/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden-24-wj6g1-900.webp) Getting my sugar fix in such a pretty place first thing in the morning made for such a great start to a happy day of traveling! If I come back to Jeju, Seogwipo dessert café Monocle Jeju is definitely a place I'd want to visit again. ## Where it is - Monocle Jeju (모노클제주) - 30-8 Taewi-ro 360beon-gil, Namwon-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 서귀포시 남원읍 태위로360번길 30-8 모노클제주 - 33.2729109, 126.6845167 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%A8%EB%85%B8%ED%81%B4%EC%A0%9C%EC%A3%BC/@33.2729109,126.6845167,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-lunch-turns/monocle-jeju-morning-dessert-garden/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
