Three generations (the writer, Mom and Grandma) compared Forerest's house-made chocolate and black sesame Basque cheesecakes with an iced plum drink and hot peppermint tea. The chocolate is richly sweet and the black sesame is nutty and mild, so order both and alternate bites. ## Good to know - **Location**: 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Parking**: Spacious parking area in front of the café - **Seating**: Terrace, wood-toned indoor seats by floor-to-ceiling windows, separate seating area further inside - **Amenities**: High chairs available - **Menu**: Coffee, non-coffee drinks, tea, Basque cheesecakes made in-house - **What we ordered**: Chocolate Basque cheesecake, black sesame Basque cheesecake, plum drink (iced), peppermint tea (hot) *as written by the visitor on Oct 21, 2026* ![Forerest, a large café in Nogyang-dong, Uijeongbu, main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-01-2b8zq-1200.webp) *Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu* I visited Forerest, a large café in Nogyang-dong, Uijeongbu, with my grandma and my mom. We had tea in a space blending trees and a terrace, and tried the Basque cheesecake they make in-house. The chocolate and black sesame Basque cheesecakes differed so much in taste and texture that comparing them was fun. If you're looking for a spacious café in Uijeongbu, or want dessert and tea together, have a look. ![Visiting Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-02-1uymr-900.webp) ## Is parking easy at Forerest? Forerest has a large parking area in front of the café, so it's easy to come by car. The roomy parking was the first thing I noticed when we arrived. You can park right in front of the café, which made visiting by car convenient. ![Forerest exterior with trees and a terrace](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-03-19m8z-900.webp) *Forerest's exterior, with trees and a terrace* ![Forerest outdoor space and surrounding trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-04-1apu3-900.webp) ![Outdoor view around the Forerest terrace](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-05-dugw0-900.webp) ![Forerest outdoor space with natural scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-06-1tgsw-900.webp) *Outdoor space with natural scenery* ![Forerest outdoor space and surrounding nature](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-07-1wvzy-m-900.webp) *Outdoor space with natural scenery* ![Forerest exterior with terrace and trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-08-nhaca-900.webp) *Forerest's exterior, with trees and a terrace* ## Forerest's outdoor terrace among the trees There's a terrace outside Forerest, with lots of trees around it. I liked that you can enjoy coffee and dessert indoors and also take in the scenery outside. You can watch the trees change with the seasons, so on a nice day the terrace seems like a good spot to sit. ## What is the inside of Forerest like? ### Forerest's wood-toned interior ![Forerest terrace area](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-09-1bllp-900.webp) *Terrace* ![Wood-toned interior of Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-10-ydrn7-900.webp) The interior of Forerest is wood-toned throughout, and the warm colors made the space feel calm. Through the big glass windows you can see the scenery outside. Your eyes naturally drift toward the windows, so even sitting indoors you can enjoy the atmosphere outside. ### A separate seating area further inside Forerest ![Forerest indoor seats with open windows and outside view](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-11-1akut-900.webp) *Indoor seats with open windows and surrounding scenery* ![Forerest indoor seating area with windows open](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-12-dvzel-900.webp) *Indoor seats with open windows and surrounding scenery* ![Separate seating area inside Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-13-1rsmz-m-900.webp) *Separate seating area further inside* Go further inside Forerest and there's another seating area. Some windows were left open, so you could feel the fresh air and scenery up close. When we visited, I saw families as well as groups of friends. High chairs are also available. ## What's on the menu at Forerest? ![Forerest menu board and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-14-jas3b-966.webp) *Menu and prices* Besides coffee, Forerest offers non-coffee drinks and a range of teas. For dessert, there was Basque cheesecake made in-house. ![House-made Basque cheesecake at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-15-15td5-900.webp) ## Chocolate vs black sesame Basque cheesecake: how do they differ? Forerest's Basque cheesecake is reportedly made in the café and aged for 16 hours. ![Forerest Basque cheesecake, aged 16 hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-16-1mz5w-900.webp) ![Whole chocolate Basque cheesecake at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-17-hdh9p-900.webp) *The whole chocolate Basque cheesecake* ![Dense, fudgy chocolate Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-18-1i4gu-900.webp) ![Tasting the chocolate Basque cheesecake at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-19-8sdqo-900.webp) ### Chocolate Basque cheesecake: rich and sweet The chocolate Basque cheesecake was smooth yet dense and fudgy. It felt less like eating bread or cake and more like eating chocolate itself, which really stood out. The sweetness is fairly strong, so it should suit anyone who loves sweet desserts. Personally, the richness made me think it would pair well with a clean coffee like an Americano. ![Whole black sesame Basque cheesecake at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-20-j2h5j-900.webp) *The whole black sesame Basque cheesecake* ![Nutty black sesame Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-21-1u0uw-900.webp) *The whole black sesame Basque cheesecake* ### Black sesame Basque cheesecake: nutty and mild If the chocolate cake was about rich sweetness, what I remembered about the black sesame Basque cheesecake was its nutty, mild flavor. The texture was dense yet soft, and eaten cold it even reminded me of ice cream. If you like the nutty flavor of black sesame, it has a different charm from the chocolate. Ordering both, the tastes were clearly different, so alternating between them was fun. ## Drinks to pair with Forerest's Basque cheesecake ### Iced plum drink: sweet and tangy ![Cold plum drink at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-22-1ozt3-900.webp) *Plum drink, enjoyed cold* The plum (maesil) drink I ordered was sweet and refreshing. Served cold, it left my mouth feeling fresh, so it went nicely with dessert. ### Hot peppermint tea ![Hot peppermint tea at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-23-bfkmh-900.webp) *Peppermint tea, enjoyed hot* I ordered the peppermint hot. The aroma was clean and the aftertaste fresh, so it was nice alongside the sweet cake. ![Forerest table with Basque cheesecake and tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-three-generations-basque-24-74r8r-900.webp) ## Verdict: Forerest with Grandma and Mom This time I went to Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu, with my grandma and mom. The roomy parking, terrace and wood-toned interior left an impression, and with more seating further inside, it was fun to look around. Among the desserts, the rich sweetness of the chocolate Basque cheesecake and the nutty, mild taste of the black sesame one were so different that they stayed with me. If you love sweet desserts, go for chocolate; if you like nutty flavors, try the black sesame.
