It is conveniently located for getting around by car, so it is easy to visit before or after a trip. And it is not just a café where you only have drinks—it is a spacious brunch café with meal options such as pasta and sandwiches. We skipped breakfast before setting off, then enjoyed pasta, sandwiches, and a cup of coffee for brunch! ## What did we order? ![The brunch dishes we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-01-syrjp-900.webp) ![The pasta and sandwich dishes we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-02-1aaka-900.webp) ![Our brunch and coffee order](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-03-163t0-775.webp) ✔️ Bolognese ragù pasta (with extra bread) ✔️ shrimp cream pasta ✔️ guacamole sandwich ✔️ iced Americano ✔️ iced café latte. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the pasta spice level can be adjusted. If you are visiting with a child or cannot eat spicy food, just ask for it mild when ordering. My child loves tomato pasta, so I only asked for the Bolognese ragù pasta to be made mild, and my child ate it so well. ![Bolognese ragù pasta and bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-04-hlabp-900.webp) 🥪 The guacamole sandwich was topped with crisp bacon, plump shrimp, olives, and microgreens. It was fresh and light, making it just right for brunch! It paired quite nicely with the pasta, and it was also great with coffee. ![Guacamole sandwich brunch dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-05-snwks-900.webp) ![Guacamole sandwich and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-06-1ko27-900.webp) There were lots of sandwich options, but if you like avocado, I recommend the guacamole sandwich. ## Adjustable-spice pasta we had with our child ![Bolognese ragù pasta eaten with our child](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-07-ys1i4-900.webp) My child does not really like pizza and only eats tomato-based pasta, so whenever we go out for Western food, I choose carefully in case my child will not eat anything. But my child really enjoyed the Bolognese ragù pasta! Since they could make it mild on request, there was not a hint of spice and it was easy for my child to eat. It is a good place to dine with children who cannot eat spicy food yet. The ragù sauce went wonderfully with the noodles, and it was even tastier with the bread~ ![Ragù sauce pasta and bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-08-d1du4-900.webp) My child does not like cream pasta, so we had the shrimp cream pasta at its regular spice level. It was slightly spicy and wonderfully thick and rich, so anyone who loves a rich cream pasta would find this absolutely delicious. ![Rich shrimp cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-09-12rcb-900.webp) I love Outback's Toowoomba Pasta, and this shrimp cream pasta was just as thick and rich—really delicious! 👍🏻 ![Shrimp cream pasta brunch dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-10-128gw-1200.webp) My husband and I are people who always drink coffee in the morning, so we said we would have coffee and a light brunch, then eat once we arrived at the hotel. But it was so delicious that we ended up having a filling meal instead. ## A brunch café a short drive from Vivaldi Park Vivaldi Park is a place many people visit with children and for family trips. If you are planning a trip to Hongcheon Vivaldi Park, I would recommend stopping by—it is less than a 10-minute drive away. ![Brunch café near Vivaldi Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-11-depm9-900.webp) My child does not like cream pasta, but for children who do, I think they would eat the shrimp cream pasta really well if you ask for it to be made mild with no spice~ ![Coffee ordered with a nutty flavor profile](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-12-igi0b-900.webp) You can choose between a bright, acidic profile and a nutty profile for the coffee, and I chose nutty—it was delicious too~! I usually only drink iced Americanos, but I felt like a café latte that day and ordered one. The iced café latte was nutty and suited my taste perfectly! ## Menu and prices ![Cafe Iseo brunch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-13-xoqck-900.webp) ![Cafe Iseo pasta and sandwich menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-14-1h6cy-900.webp) ![Cafe Iseo salad menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-15-v9i95-900.webp) - Bolognese ragù pasta ₩19,500 (includes 2 pieces of bread / extra bread ₩1,500) - Shrimp cream pasta ₩19,500 - Anchovy bacon pasta ₩19,500 - Shakshuka (eggs in hell) ₩22,000 (includes 4 pieces of bread / extra bread ₩2,500) - Guacamole sandwich, cream French toast, avocado & shrimp sandwich, shrimp & chicken sandwich, prosciutto sandwich, and loaded shrimp sandwich ₩17,500 each - Burrata cheese salad ₩17,000 (includes 2 pieces of bread / extra bread ₩2,000) - Avocado Cobb salad and chicken breast Cobb salad ₩16,500 each - Iseo salad ₩17,000 (includes 2 slices of rye bread / extra bread ₩2,500) The Bolognese and shrimp cream pastas can be made mild if you request it when ordering. The anchovy pasta is on the spicy side, but its spice level cannot be adjusted. There are not only filling, meal-sized choices such as pasta and sandwiches; there are also bakery items for a simple bite with coffee. It would also be nice to come after eating somewhere else and relax over a coffee. Eating delicious food matters when you travel, but you also need time to sit down and rest for a while, right? Cafe Iseo is a Hongcheon brunch café where you can enjoy a delicious brunch, have a coffee, and take a break ☕ ![Space for enjoying brunch and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-16-gjcil-900.webp) The generous parking area in front of the café was another big plus—you can visit without worrying about parking! ![Generous parking area in front of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-17-1a0uf-900.webp) ![Free parking area in front of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-18-uudq9-900.webp) The café is spacious with plenty of tables, so I also recommend it for group gatherings, family meals out, or a Hongcheon date. The floor-to-ceiling windows give you a full view of the natural scenery, making it a place that feels restorative just to sit in. If you are looking for a café near Vivaldi Park, do stop by. ![Spacious café interior with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-19-14z5p-900.webp) It was even better that they had thoughtfully prepared high chairs, seat cushions, and blankets so guests could stop by and be comfortable. ![Café with high chairs and seat cushions ready](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-20-c4zs3-900.webp) ![Café space with blankets available](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-21-143qf-900.webp) ![Comfortable café interior to linger in](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-22-hawpt-900.webp) ![Café space for meals and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-23-tqgwp-900.webp) As we ate, more and more guests came in, probably because it is such a nice place both for a meal and for a cup of coffee. It checked every box: food + space + location, plus menu choices that are good to have with a child! ![Café near Hongcheon Vivaldi Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo-24-1qqf2-900.webp) My child was sick this time, so we could not make it to Ocean World, but I will have to stop by again next time we go! I tend to think carefully about the travel route too, and Cafe Iseo Hongcheon Branch is near Vivaldi Park, making it a good location for a meal before going to Vivaldi Park or after having fun there. We enjoyed all three dishes, so I was very happy with our menu choices, and I am recommending it as a great place to eat near Hongcheon Vivaldi Park! ## Where it is - Cafe Iseo Hongcheon Branch (카페이서 홍천점) - 957 Hanchigol-gil, Seo-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon State, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 홍천군 서면 한치골길 957 - 37.694026, 127.7014932 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EC%9D%B4%EC%84%9C%20%ED%99%8D%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.694026,127.7014932,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@foothill-coffee-fold/hongcheon-vivaldi-brunch-cafe-iseo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
