Brunch here was the La Cuesta Platter at 16,000 won, the rolled long sausage bread at 5,800 won and the signature La Cuesta Latte at 8,000 won, and the café also runs a free tasting corner for new menu items. The latte turns a little rich by the last sips, but La Cuesta Gwangju is worth another stop on a drive out of the city. ## Good to know - **Store**: La Cuesta Gwangju - **Address (as written)**: 192 Neungpyeong-ro, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (La Cuesta) - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–21:30 (brunch last order 20:30) - **La Cuesta Platter**: 16,000 won - **Rolled long sausage bread**: 5,800 won - **La Cuesta Latte**: 8,000 won - **Americano**: 5,500 won - **Café latte**: 6,800 won - **Shrimp guacamole open sandwich**: 18,000 won - **Mushroom cream pasta**: 18,000 won - **Facilities**: Private parking, Wi-Fi, takeout, free tasting corner for new menu items, group seating - **Rating**: 4.4/5 (writer's own rating) - **Price reference**: ₩5,800 ≈ $4.2 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* Today I went to La Cuesta, a large bakery café in Neungpyeong-dong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi, for a relaxing break while looking out at the lush green mountain view and trees through the window.

High ceilings and a clean white-and-wood interior come together with tasteful mirror objects and a book display zone, giving the whole place a cozy feel. ![High-ceilinged white and wood-toned café hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-06-hk0u7-900.webp) ![Window seats at La Cuesta with a forest view](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-07-1ikh2-900.webp) ![Café interior with a mirror object](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-08-urnz2-900.webp) ![Café space with a book display zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-09-1n1pv-900.webp) ![Spacious table seating at La Cuesta](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-10-17ga9-900.webp) ![Café seating with trees visible through the windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-11-1ok0v-900.webp) ![Group seating table at La Cuesta](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-12-7keko-900.webp) ![Interior view of the large bakery café](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-13-e77vg-900.webp) ![Café seats with a forest view through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-14-qs3aj-900.webp) ![Interior decor items at La Cuesta](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-15-12zpv-900.webp) Moving over to the bakery section, you'll find a colorful array of golden-baked breads displayed hygienically under covers. ![La Cuesta bakery bread displayed under covers](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-16-17htc-m-900.webp) And there's a free tasting corner for new menu items so customers can try things comfortably — it really shows the brand's generous spirit. ![La Cuesta free tasting corner for new menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-17-vxywy-900.webp) ## La Cuesta Platter, 16,000 won: what comes on it The La Cuesta Platter I ordered came served on a round plate, generously set up with golden-baked grain bread, scrambled eggs, sausage, wedge potatoes, roasted broccoli and vegetables, and a fresh garden salad. ![La Cuesta Platter with grain bread and scrambled eggs](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-18-1u9x5-1200.webp) The nutty rye bread, still warm as if freshly baked, topped with scrambled egg and a slightly salty piece of sausage, makes for a light, familiar brunch bite everyone will like. ![Scrambled egg and sausage on rye bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-19-1pxek-900.webp) ### Rolled long sausage bread, 5,800 won The rolled-up long sausage bread (₩5,800) we also tried wraps a chunky, juicy long sausage in chewy dough baked along the grain, finished with parsley and cheddar cheese flavor for a crisp-outside, moist-inside, salty taste. It's kind of like that pizza bread everyone knows — minus the cheese pull. ![Rolled-up long sausage wrapped in bread dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-20-w9ehx-900.webp) ### Signature La Cuesta Latte, 8,000 won The signature drink, the La Cuesta Latte, has layered, nutty milk as the base topped with a soft, thick special cream foam — it's delicious. Just be careful, it can get a bit rich if you drink a lot of it!! ![La Cuesta Latte topped with cream foam](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-21-5rd37-900.webp) ![Latte and brunch platter on a window-side table](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-22-b02r3-m-900.webp) ![Close-up of a La Cuesta Latte cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-23-ix9pv-m-900.webp) ![Display of La Cuesta Chuseok gift sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view-24-17c03-900.webp) They also sell Chuseok gift sets! :) ## The best combination to order together Try topping the grain bread that comes with the La Cuesta Platter with the fresh, dressing-soaked garden salad and scrambled egg to enjoy it like an open sandwich. Then take a sip of the rich, sweet La Cuesta Latte — the salad's freshness and the latte's sweet cream form a perfect layer of flavor. Also, cut yourself a happy slice of the rolled-up long sausage bread and pair it with a nutty piece of bakery from the free tasting corner — you'll really get that sweet-and-salty magic. ## Window seats and parking at La Cuesta Gwangju The window seats with the best view, right in front of the big windows, are highly competitive, and I imagine the parking lot could fill up faster than expected on weekends or during peak hours. ## Is La Cuesta Gwangju worth the drive? The beautiful mountain view through the huge windows, the spacious and tidy atmosphere, and the satisfying brunch platter and bakery selection were all really nice. Little touches like the free new-menu tasting corner were impressive too, so I'd like to come back as a drive-stop spot in Gwangju, Gyeonggi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.4/5) ## Where it is - La Cuesta Gwangju (라꾸에스타 경기광주점) - 192 Neungpyeong-ro, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 곤지암읍 경충대로 278 라꾸에스타 - 37.3360668, 127.372023 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%9D%BC%EA%BE%B8%EC%97%90%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%80%20%EA%B2%BD%EA%B8%B0%EA%B4%91%EC%A3%BC%EC%A0%90/@37.3360668,127.372023,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-doorway-meals/lacuesta-gwangju-brunch-platter-forest-view/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
