After a first visit in May, the writer returned in autumn with a cousin and took the terrace table with the best forest view, ordering Basque cheesecake (7,500 won), matcha Basque cheesecake (8,000 won), an iced americano (5,500 won) and a café latte. With the garden and forest path finally walkable after a rained-out spring trip, Forerest delivers atmosphere, coffee and dessert in one stop. ## Good to know - **Address**: 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–24:00, open year-round - **Parking**: 50 spaces right out front - **Public transit**: Bus 8 from Ganeung Station or Uijeongbu Station, get off at Ujeong Maeul - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, takeout, high chairs, waiting chairs, pets allowed, wide terrace, gluten-free and organic menu items - **Iced americano**: 5,500 won (extra shot 700 won) - **Hot café latte**: 6,500 won (decaf 1,000 won) - **Basque cheesecake**: 7,500 won - **Matcha Basque cheesecake**: 8,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* A day to meet my cousin in Uijeongbu :) I loved it so much last time that I went back again — let me introduce Forerest (For a Rest), a café in Uijeongbu! ## Where Forerest is and how to get there Forerest is a large forest café at 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do.

If you're taking public transit, take bus 8 from Ganeung Station or Uijeongbu Station and get off at Woojeong Maeul! ![Full view of forest-surrounded Uijeongbu café Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-05-brnrx-1200.webp) ## Why we came back to Forerest in autumn I loved my last visit so much I came back! — I visited last spring, in May — It was lush and lovely in spring, and Forerest is just as good in fall too ![Forerest's exterior and green forest in fall weather](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-06-10y5h-966.webp) The exterior alone has such a lovely vibe. Last time it rained so I couldn't look around the garden out front, which was a shame, but this time the weather was so nice I could stay on the terrace, and even take a walk along the forest path right outside — even better ![Forerest's building exterior, resembling a converted house](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-07-8rsov-966.webp) It feels like a renovated house — there's also a bit of a cabin-in-the-woods vibe! ![Garden seating with parasols in front of Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-08-1jh5y-966.webp) There are lots of seats in the garden right out front too, so you can enjoy your coffee under a parasol! 👍🏻 ## What Forerest looks like inside Forerest's main hall has high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the forest view, which made it feel even more open. ![Café interior with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling forest-view windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-09-1xass-966.webp) ![Wood-toned interior of Forerest's main hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-10-1qd6o-966.webp) ![Window seat at Forerest overlooking the forest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-11-afbbj-966.webp) ![Tables and decor inside Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-12-15twc-966.webp) ![Cozy relaxation space inside Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-13-tjy1t-966.webp) The interior was mostly wood-toned overall, and it went beautifully with the trees and forest right outside — a distinctly comfortable atmosphere that lived up to the name For A Rest, full of spaces to relax! Just sitting and looking out was healing in itself You could feel the care and attention put into every corner of the space! ## Four room-style zones at Forerest, good for groups Besides the large main hall, Forerest has four separate rooms, each with a slightly different mood! And since you can get your own private room for a group gathering, it seemed like a great spot for meetups >.< ### Forerest Room 1 ![Seating in Forerest's Room 1, arranged facing the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-14-1vhus-966.webp) The tables and chairs are arranged facing the window, so you and your company can sit side by side looking out at the forest while you drink your coffee ### Forerest Room 2 A bit smaller than the other rooms, but with a cozy feel ### Forerest Rooms 3 and 4 The tables and chairs throughout the café each have their own design and mood, so you could pick a seat to match the purpose of your gathering!! Since the weather was so nice, we sat on the terrace with the best view of the forest :) ## Forerest menu and prices ![Forerest's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-15-1j4ry-966.webp) Last time I had the Basque cheesecake and was genuinely moved, so this time I picked two!!! ![Drinks and Basque cheesecake on a terrace table](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-16-4e6x3-966.webp) - Iced Americano ₩5,500 (+extra shot ₩700) - Hot Café Latte ₩6,500 (+decaf ₩1,000) - Basque Cheesecake ₩7,500 - Matcha Basque Cheesecake ₩8,000 ![A slice of Forerest's Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-17-1xdwt-966.webp) ## How do the Basque cheesecake and matcha Basque taste? Last time, the Basque cheesecake genuinely moved me......... It's number one among all the Basque cheesecakes I've ever had ![Basque cheesecake showing its soft cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-18-1w219-966.webp) ![A forkful of Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-19-1jts0-966.webp) This time I also ordered the matcha Basque cheesecake! ![Forerest's matcha Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-20-tqhqg-966.webp) ![Matcha Basque cheesecake and coffee on a terrace table](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-21-ti107-966.webp) Honestly, with a phytoncide scent and this much green in view, even just barley tea would be great, but the coffee is delicious and the desserts are too, so it's pure healing Ultra-smooth Basque cheesecake, chilled and aged for 16 hours — you could tell how much care went into it. While we were there the staff kept mixing more batter! Food made with that much time and care can't possibly taste bad! ![Close-up of the 16-hour aged Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-22-1kwyd-966.webp) The owner is serious about coffee too, not just desserts — even the coffee is so delicious! Usually large, beautifully designed cafés have so-so coffee and beans, but Forerest nails coffee, dessert, and atmosphere all at once ![Coffee and dessert together on a Forerest table](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-23-1ad3u-966.webp) Once you're done, just bring your tray to the table :) We'd already eaten 3 servings of samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) and were about to burst, but we still cleared the desserts!!!! ![Terrace seat at Forerest looking out at the forest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit-24-wp8jl-966.webp) If you're looking for a pretty café in Uijeongbu with great atmosphere plus good coffee and dessert, Forerest is a must — highly recommend!! ## Where it is - Forerest (포어레스트) - 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 녹양로 181 포어레스트 - 37.7673048, 127.0340576 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%AC%EC%96%B4%EB%A0%88%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8/@37.7673048,127.0340576,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-window-latch/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-autumn-terrace-revisit/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
