On a cool early-autumn day I sat at Forerest's outdoor tables with two iced Americanos (one switched to decaf for an extra 1,000 won), a plain Basque cheesecake and a chocolate Basque cheesecake. With parking for more than 50 cars and hours until midnight, Forerest makes an easy stop on a Uijeongbu date or drive. ## Good to know - **Address**: Forerest, 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Mon–Sun, 11:00–24:00 - **Closed**: Open year-round - **Parking**: Yes (room for more than 50 cars, never crowded) - **What I ordered**: 2 iced Americanos (1 switched to decaf), Basque cheesecake, chocolate Basque cheesecake - **Decaf switch**: 1,000 won extra - **Price reference**: ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 (2026-09-17) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* The weather's really been nice and cool lately.

There are honestly so many pretty cafés when you search around Uijeongbu, but Forerest especially blended in with the lush green surroundings, making it a great place to take a little break. ![Exterior of Forerest, a large forest café on Nogyang-ro in Uijeongbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-01-1vu4l-900.webp) > Forerest ## Where Forerest is, opening hours and parking - Address: 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours: Mon–Sun 11:00–24:00 - Closed: Open year-round - Parking: Available (spacious, fits 50+ cars) ## What are Forerest's forest-view outdoor tables like in early autumn? What I liked most walking into Forerest was the forest view 🌿 The outdoor space is full of trees and green scenery, so it really feels like stepping into nature for a moment! ![Lush green forest view around Forerest café](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-02-c88mq-900.webp) ![Outdoor space at Forerest surrounded by trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-03-1ufbo-900.webp) ![Sunlit forest outdoor tables at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-04-tb44m-900.webp) ![Forest scenery viewed from Forerest's outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-05-1hxve-900.webp) ![Outdoor seats at Forerest among green trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-06-tj4u8-900.webp) Especially on a nice day, sitting at the outdoor tables sipping coffee feels really great. There are lots of trees around the tables, so the sunlight coming through looks pretty, and it's also nice for taking photos of your coffee and dessert. So I felt like this isn't just a place to grab a coffee — it's also a good spot to spend time chatting leisurely. Because of that vibe, I think it would suit people looking for a Uijeongbu date course or a drive course to get some fresh air. ## Indoor seating at Forerest The inside of Forerest was really pretty too. Especially sitting in these green chairs and drinking coffee while looking out at the forest view seemed like it would be so nice 💚 ![Indoor seating area at Forerest café](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-07-12jxs-900.webp) ![Indoor tables and window seats at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-08-1q628-900.webp) ![Interior view of Forerest's decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-09-ykvi1-900.webp) ![Indoor window seat overlooking the forest view at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-10-yhhzd-900.webp) ![Indoor seating with green chairs at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-11-d9odu-900.webp) ![Forest view from inside Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-12-1dbzt-900.webp) ![Spacious interior of Forerest café](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-13-15cya-900.webp) ## What I ordered at Forerest: decaf iced Americano and two Basque cheesecakes That day we ordered two iced Americanos at Forerest. One was the regular iced Americano, and for the other we paid an extra ₩1,000 to switch to decaf iced Americano ☺️ ![Menu board of drinks and desserts at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-14-1okac-900.webp) Lately I tend to prefer cafés where you can switch to decaf, so it was nice being able to choose decaf for one of the drinks~ And of course we also ordered the Basque cheesecakes (one Basque cheesecake, one chocolate Basque cheesecake) — can't skip those. ![Two iced Americanos and two Basque cheesecakes on an outdoor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-15-mhzgq-1200.webp) So we settled in at an outdoor table. Forerest's Basque cheesecake was chewy and delicious enough to hold its own as a Uijeongbu cake-spot recommendation 😋 ### Forerest's chocolate Basque cheesecake True to its name, it had a really deep chocolate flavor! Chewy and sweet, one bite alone was enough to give me a sugar boost. The rich chocolate flavor added a deeper, heavier note to the taste. ![A slice of Forerest's chocolate Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-16-7keyc-900.webp) The sweet-bitter taste of chocolate blended with the thick, savory flavor unique to cheese, so I think anyone who loves chocolate desserts would especially love this one. Good 💛 ![Cross-section of Forerest's original Basque cheesecake showing its browned top](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-17-ig3di-900.webp) ![Moist interior of the Basque cheesecake cut with a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-18-1kmh4-900.webp) ### Forerest's plain Basque cheesecake The original Basque cheesecake looked delicious from the deep browned surface alone — slightly chewy on the outside, and moist, thick texture toward the center. The savory, deep cheese flavor lingered gently in the mouth, and it went really well with the strong iced Americano 😎 ![Basque cheesecake enjoyed with an iced Americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-19-d1dxv-900.webp) ![Forerest coffee and cake set against a forest backdrop](https://img.superchart.com/images/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque/pour-forest-uijeongbu-forest-terrace-basque-20-md3to-900.webp) ## Why Forerest works as a large café in Uijeongbu > Recommended large café in Uijeongbu Forerest seems like a place where you can enjoy not just coffee and dessert, but the surrounding atmosphere too~ Especially on days when the weather's nice like this, rather than staying inside the café the whole time, enjoying the sunlight and green scenery in the outdoor space makes for a much more relaxing time! So for people who just want to quietly relax with a cup of coffee, as well as couples looking for a Uijeongbu date course, or people wanting a drive course to a nearby spot for fresh air, it seemed like a good fit ☕️🍰 Forerest, a Uijeongbu café that was great for taking a break with coffee amid a lush green atmosphere.
