As I walked along the fortress wall trail, the building exterior and sign caught my eye even from far away. It looked wonderfully tranquil among the surrounding scenery. ![Café exterior near the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Wall Trail](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-01-1gpis-900.webp) ![Café building blending into the surrounding scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-02-1pltk-900.webp) When I arrived, I saw that the building was quite large. I hurried inside beneath the sign reading Caffeine Focus. Maybe because it was early on a weekday, I got in right away. Luckily, I could settle into a seat without waiting. ## Caffeine Focus hours and parking 15 Changnyong-daero 80beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 수원시 팔달구 창룡대로80번길 15) - Hours: Monday–Sunday, 11:00 AM–8:00 PM - Regularly closed every Tuesday - Parking: Use Changnyongmun Public Parking Lot, a 3–5 minute walk away ![Caffeine Focus entrance and information area](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-03-1d6vs-900.webp) Green plants and cute little pots were set out at the café entrance. The information board almost felt as though it were welcoming visitors. There were plenty of potted plants throughout the café, giving the space a fresh feel. Every interior detail looked thoughtfully placed. Passing the sign near the entrance, I looked around to see which seat might be nicest. It was fun wandering about and taking in every corner. ![Café entrance with plants and potted flowers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-04-1kcf0-900.webp) ## Ciabatta and dessert menu - Levain plain ciabatta ₩4,800 - Levain cheese olive ciabatta ₩5,300 - Levain cheese squid ink ciabatta ₩5,300 - Vanilla bean Basque cheesecake ₩8,000 - Egg scone ₩4,500 - Banana muffin (vegan) ₩3,800 Once inside, the warm lighting and interior created a calm atmosphere.

They also said that ciabatta bread is sold as usual on Wednesdays. ![Display case of house-baked ciabatta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-06-ymtjz-900.webp) ![Display case with different kinds of ciabatta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-07-kmvdb-900.webp) ## A café spread across three floors The café uses all three floors, so each one has its own mood and sense of space. This photo is from the second floor, where I enjoyed seeing works by David Hockney. The large floor-to-ceiling windows were lovely, and the carefully arranged tables and chairs made it comfortable. Framed art and potted plants worked beautifully together in the interior. ![Second-floor interior with large windows and tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-08-m3s3z-900.webp) The self-service station was well stocked with a water pitcher and napkins. The heating and air conditioning were on, keeping the temperature pleasant. I also spotted shelves with interior accessories. You could feel the care given to even the smallest details. If you take part in a Naver receipt review, you can receive 50 g of handmade cardamom granola~ ![Self-service station with a water pitcher and napkins](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-09-16pby-900.webp) ![Café shelves and interior accessories](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-10-1e4iq-900.webp) ## Suwon Hwaseong fortress walls from the third-floor veranda After looking around every floor, my favorite was the third floor, especially the veranda and fortress-wall view. Once I stepped onto the terrace, the scenery outside the window opened up at a glance. I loved the airy feeling of the plants and tables together. The restroom is also on the third floor, and it is very clean. A gentle breeze came through as I spent a little time there. The wide-open view made all my stuffiness disappear. ![Plants and tables on the third-floor veranda](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-11-upeoq-900.webp) ![Third-floor space with a fortress-wall view](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-12-1wlyv-900.webp) As I went up the stairs, I looked at the wall tiles. Potted plants and lighting brightened the stairway. The interior changed slightly from floor to floor, so there was never a dull moment on the way up. Moving between the floors was part of the fun. ![Stairway between floors with potted plants and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-13-1fxgz-900.webp) The fortress-wall view through the window was wonderful. Beyond the parking lot, the sky and scenery looked like a painting. There is a huge moon model on the third-floor veranda, and it really stands out. I think this space would be even prettier at night~ ![Third-floor veranda overlooking the fortress wall and sky](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-14-1cigv-900.webp) ## Ube cream matcha latte and sandwich by the window I set the ube cream matcha latte and ciabatta sandwich on a window seat. I photographed them with the fortress-wall view behind them, and the mood was so lovely. The house-baked ciabatta sandwich looked delicious. The view from the window made it taste even better. ![Latte and ciabatta sandwich by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-15-4rw4s-1200.webp) ![Drink and sandwich at a window with a fortress-wall view](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-16-qap23-900.webp) The neat plating made it great for photos, too. A peaceful afternoon moment~ The ube cream matcha latte has two distinct flavors, so I recommend it if you want to enjoy both bitterness and sweetness at once. ![Ube cream matcha latte plating](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-17-1yzff-900.webp) ![Ciabatta cross-section with tomato, ham, cheese, and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus-18-h793k-900.webp) Looking at the ciabatta sandwich cross-section, it was packed with tomato, ham, cheese, and vegetables. You could see the fresh ingredients. When I tried it, everything tasted fresh and wholesome. It was plenty filling for lunch. I joined the Naver receipt review and got 50 g of granola~😁 It was my first time in this neighborhood, and it was very quiet around here—totally my kind of place. I definitely want to come back next time. ## Where it is - Caffeine Focus (카페인포커스) (카페인포커스) - 15 Changnyong-daero 80beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 수원시 팔달구 창룡대로80번길 15 1, 2, 3층) - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 창룡대로80번길 15 1, 2, 3층 - 37.2857178, 127.0237154 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EC%9D%B8%ED%8F%AC%EC%BB%A4%EC%8A%A4/@37.2857178,127.0237154,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-cafe-pauses/suwon-fortress-view-cafeinfocus/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
