☔ was coming down steadily that day~ after lunch, off for some delicious cake- visiting Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu! The rain made it even more atmospheric~ Forerest post, let's go!!

What kind of café is Forerest?

This was my second visit, but it already seems to be well-known as one of Uijeongbu's big cafés and dessert spots! Even on a weekday lunch it was buzzing with people~

Forerest has a unique exterior like a small mountain cabin in the woods, but the interior somehow feels comfortable too. At first I was surprised - a café like this, here?! - but it seems like a café that offers a brief escape from the noisy city, a rest among the greenery-

A look around Forerest

Walking in through the entrance, a wooden stone bridge greets you, feeling connected to the forest outside~ Oh~ what is this? I was surprised haha. This kind of vibe is totally my thing! haha

High ceilings, wood-toned furniture and sparkling chandeliers combine to give it the feeling of stepping into an elegant, upscale cabin?!

There's a good variety of seating from small tables to group seats, so it looked great for couples, friends, or groups!

Forerest has small seats set into the main space as well as room-like divided spaces. There's a spot with windows looking out onto the green, and a spot that feels as cozy as home, so you find yourself wondering... where should I sit? haha

The view outside the window is so soothing~~~ so nice!! Rain just adds even more atmosphere, doesn't it... it's like a picture frame! I wonder how the view changes with the seasons?

Outdoor seating

There's outdoor seating too! Once it gets a bit cooler, the outdoor seats will probably be popular! At night, with the outdoor lighting on, it would be even prettier~~ Good for a date, haha. Ah, those were the days....haha

Forerest menu

They have coffee of course, but I loved that they had so many organic tea options! I can't handle coffee well, so I often order tea - I should try their tea next time! And Forerest's famous cheesecake! It's made in-house and chilled for 16 hours, they say! You absolutely have to try this! Seriously so soft~~

The chocolate Basque cheesecake tastes and feels almost like raw chocolate! I ate it so happily. Sweet plus sweet, but not overly so - totally manageable!

The Basque cheesecake! The most classic, standard one - so soft it barely feels like cake. As for the taste, well, need I say more- haha
