On a first one-on-one café date with a 7-year-old daughter, the writer ordered sausage bread (in the ₩3,000s), a ricotta cheese salad (₩13,900) and dango misutgaru (₩7,500), then explored the 1.5th floor and the outdoor terrace. With large parking lots, high chairs and an outdoor play area, Geurimseu Cafe is an easy Cheonan café to visit with kids. ## Good to know - **Address**: 232 Mijuk 5-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam (Guryong-dong) - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–21:30 (as noted by the writer) - **Parking**: Large parking lots (in front of the café and a lower lot) - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, separate men's and women's restrooms, Wi-Fi, high chairs, takeout - **Sausage bread**: In the ₩3,000s - **Ricotta cheese salad**: ₩13,900 - **Dango misutgaru**: ₩7,500 - **Price reference**: ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 · ₩13,900 ≈ $10.5 · ₩7,500 ≈ $5.6 (2026-11-14) *as written by the visitor on Apr 21, 2026 · not checked with the business* ![Main photo of the visit to Geurimseu Cafe in Guryong-dong, Cheonan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-01-11net-1200.webp) Today's date! Our destination was Geurimseu Cafe (그림스카페) in Guryong-dong, a big Cheonan café already famous by word of mouth for its tasty coffee. The weather was so nice today that I went on my first café date alone with my 7-year-old daughter. It was our first time going out just the two of us, so I was excited, and a tiny bit worried it might be hard, but it was a great success! ## Is parking easy at Geurimseu Cafe? Geurimseu Cafe has big parking lots both in front of the café and down below. But when we got there around 12:00, the lot in front was already full! I guess you have to be early to hit a Cheonan hot spot. We parked comfortably in the lower lot and walked up. - Address: Guryong-dong, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam (232 Mijuk 5-gil) - Hours: daily 10:00–21:30 - Large parking lot, groups welcome - Separate men's/women's restrooms, Wi-Fi, high chairs, takeout available ## Inside Geurimseu Cafe: atmosphere and seating Stepping inside, a beautiful monstera and lots of lush green plants welcomed us. Totally healing! There were plenty of plants that plant lovers would adore, and they looked great. The zigzag table layout and stylish interior were exactly my style. It was crowded, so we took a seat on the calmer 1.5th floor (a mezzanine level). ![Plant-decorated interior of Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-02-1oul0-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe interior* ![Geurimseu Cafe interior with zigzag tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-03-1lsae-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe interior* ![Seating and plant decor inside Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-04-1e6uu-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe interior* ## What breads does Geurimseu Cafe have? The variety of bread starts right at the entrance, so the happy dilemma began! As you'd expect from a large Cheonan bakery café, it was overwhelming just to look at. ### Salt bread There are lots of pretty topped salt breads, like mentaiko (spicy pollock roe) rice salt bread and kaya rice salt bread. There's one with an amazingly crispy-looking texture, and even one that looks like Dubai chocolate! ![Dubai salt bread in the Geurimseu Cafe display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-05-nngjy-900.webp) *Dubai salt bread, a top Cheonan bakery pick* ![Topped salt breads on display at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-06-aivxd-900.webp) *Salt bread at a Cheonan bakery café* ### Bagels & sandwiches Shiny-on-the-outside, packed-on-the-inside bagel sandwiches, and a gorgeous jambon (ham) sandwich. Jambon, not jjamppong (spicy noodle soup), haha.. ❤️ ![Sandwich display at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-07-bbnrm-900.webp) *Sandwiches at a Cheonan brunch café* ![Bagel display at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-08-184ik-900.webp) *Bagels at a Cheonan bakery café* ![Filled bagel sandwiches at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-09-6tw3a-900.webp) *Bagel sandwiches at a Cheonan bakery café* ![Bakery display at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-10-skx7v-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe, a Cheonan hot spot* ![Walnut "meokkkaebi" bread at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-11-27ztx-900.webp) *Walnut meokkkaebi bread, a Cheonan hot spot* ### Financiers, baked sweets and butter tteok I had no idea there were this many kinds of financiers. All sorts of financiers, and even lemon-shaped bread! ![Several kinds of financiers at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-12-y34eo-900.webp) *Financiers at Geurimseu Cafe, a large Cheonan café* It wouldn't feel right without butter tteok (butter rice cake). It wasn't as big as dujjonku (the Dubai chewy cookie), but butter tteok was a hit for a while too, you know. ### Signature White Roll The most popular item at Geurimseu Cafe is the "White Roll," a custard cream sponge cake! It's a definite pick for next time. ![White Roll, a popular item at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-13-1vunf-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe's popular White Roll* ## Cakes and unusual desserts at Geurimseu Cafe Isn't the strawberry cake at Geurimseu Cafe so pretty? Strawberries are delicious any time, so eat lots of them while you can! ![Strawberry cake at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-14-1sxa9-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe strawberry cake* ![Strawberry cake in the Geurimseu Cafe showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-15-b3dhy-900.webp) *Strawberry cake at a large Cheonan café* My top pick was the half-and-half cheesecake. It looks like half chocolate, half cheese. A combination that can't possibly be bad. ![Half-and-half cheesecake at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-16-12byf-900.webp) *Geurimseu Cafe cheesecake* And the ssuksiru (mugwort steamed rice cake) was a surprise!! In spring, nothing beats mugwort tteok made from the mugwort Mom picks (turns out Mom had just bought it, haha), so seeing the ssuksiru automatically made me miss my mom. ## What we ordered with my 7-year-old, and prices We ordered a sausage bread (in the ₩3,000s), a ricotta cheese salad (₩13,900) and dango misutgaru (₩7,500). When the Geurimseu buzzer rang, we ran up excitedly. ![Table set with sausage bread, salad and misutgaru](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-17-wyjxk-900.webp) *Our spread at Geurimseu Cafe* ### Ricotta cheese salad with a bread hat But the look of that ricotta cheese salad surprised me! It comes with a huge bread that looks like Indian naan, and when you open it, steam comes rising out~ You stuff plenty of salad inside the bread and eat it. ![Ricotta cheese salad served under a big bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-18-1v58s-900.webp) *Ricotta cheese salad with a bread hat* My daughter tucked veggies into the bread and ate so well! It seems like a winning dish for kids who don't usually eat vegetables. ![My daughter and the food, waiting for the photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-19-12d4q-900.webp) *"Mom, you have to take a picture, right?" Standing by, you* ### The kid's pick: sausage bread and dango misutgaru The kid's-pick sausage bread was heavenly, and the misutgaru (roasted grain drink) topped with chewy dango (rice-cake balls) was the ultimate in nutty flavor. It tasted like a Cheonan hot spot, no argument. ![Dango misutgaru and pizza bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-20-1pb5u-900.webp) *Dango misutgaru and pizza bread* ![Pizza bread at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-21-1i624-900.webp) *Pizza bread* ![Misutgaru topped with dango at Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-22-168fg-900.webp) *Dango misutgaru* ## Is Geurimseu Cafe good for kids? With high chairs and outdoor toys for kids, Geurimseu Cafe was a perfect place to go with a child. Since it was our first date and I worried we'd both end up with trauma (?), I brought my secret weapon, a tablet (which she normally doesn't get to watch!). She watched happily, and I finally relaxed with a glass of misutgaru and properly recharged. ![Child putting salad inside the bread to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-23-19bci-900.webp) *Stuffing salad in the bread, yum* After about an hour and a half, as we were leaving, the outdoor terrace looked so pretty. It has a pool-like feel and kids' toys, so this is a textbook "yes kids zone"! The true value of this large Cheonan café showed outdoors too. On a cool spring or autumn day, a date on the outdoor terrace would definitely give you life-shot photos. If you're looking for a café to visit with kids, definitely try Geurimseu in Guryong-dong! ![Closing photo of the visit to Geurimseu Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date-24-1862v-900.webp) ## Where it is - Geurimseu Cafe (그림스 카페) - 232 Mijuk 5-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 동남구 미죽5길 232 - 36.7594274, 127.1582951 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%BC%EC%8A%A4%20%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98/@36.7594274,127.1582951,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@eunhaeng-second-kettle/cheonan-grims-cafe-daughter-first-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
