This beginner driver’s solo Paju challenge: vroom vroom vroom again today 🚗 ![Visiting Barirus, a large café in Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-02-3qpwl-966.webp) *Barirus, a large café in Paju for a nearby date* That day’s driving route was Hwajeong ☞ Wondang ☞ Paju! After a late breakfast, I went looking for a large café nearby 🤭 I followed T Map’s recommended route, and although the travel time was about the same, there was a ₩2,200 toll lol. Let’s all be careful with T Map. ㅜ ![Barirus in Paju, located on the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-03-9jan4-966.webp) *Barirus, a Paju café open until late at night* Barirus is on the second floor, so head up the stairs. ## Barirus’s sunset photo spot and spacious interior As soon as you come upstairs, there’s Barirus’s photo spot! Enter the sunset photo zone 🥹 The sunset glow reflected in the water is so beautiful—calm and tranquil, and just gorgeous 🌇 This was why I’d wanted to visit for ages! ![Sunset-glow photo spot reflected in water](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-04-cez1w-966.webp) ![Barirus sunset photo spot area](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-05-1ms5g-966.webp) It felt so open because it was roomy with high ceilings! There was even a tree filled with bright flowers. ![Café interior with a flower-decorated tree](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-06-1ea56-966.webp) You can order at the wonderfully wide counter! > Barirus menu board ![Barirus brunch and drink menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-07-1wvza-966.webp) *Barirus in Paju: late-night café brunch menu, drinks, and coffee* There were all sorts of drinks, including coffee, non-coffee drinks, ade, smoothies, and tea. As a brunch café, it offered everything from a quick bite to a proper meal, with soup, pizza, pasta, risotto, and more. It’s a large out-of-town café that even sells beer—say no more, right? ## Eye-catching bakery treats and salt bread ![Barirus bakery display area](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-08-hi1sx-966.webp) *Barirus bakery, a recommended nearby date destination* Opposite the counter was a space full of Barirus’s own wide variety of baked goods ✨️ I’d just eaten a meal, but you know? It’s not that I’m crazy about bread! Isn’t it the bread that’s crazy about me? 🥲 ![Display of assorted baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-09-1xpy2-966.webp) ![Café bakery display](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-10-fs5fu-966.webp) ![Display of Barirus bread varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-11-1wf98-966.webp) ![Salt bread and dessert pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-12-9pbu0-966.webp) The Basque cheesecake, fruit pandoro, and my beloved salt bread... ❤️ really caught my eye because there were so many flavors, including green onion bacon salt bread and egg mayo. Three plain salt breads were on sale for ₩9,900. ![Plain salt bread on sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-13-16uyi-966.webp) ![Cheese fondue bread and cinnamon roll pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-14-s55rj-966.webp) ![Garlic naan and panini pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-15-4hohe-966.webp) ![Assorted Barirus baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-16-hq3fd-966.webp) There were honestly so many kinds of bread that I couldn’t photograph them all. I only picked the ones that looked delicious, yet the photo feast kept going! The cheese fondue bread, cinnamon rolls, garlic naan, and cooked salami panini all looked so good 🥹 ## The outdoor terrace and a mother-daughter bread haul ![Outdoor terrace with artificial grass and an Indian-style tent](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-17-12yh6-966.webp) *Recommended outdoor terrace at Barirus in Paju for an autumn date* Outside the café, there was an outdoor terrace with fresh-looking artificial grass and an Indian-style tent. The weather has gotten so much cooler lately, so it looked absolutely perfect for letting kids run around or sitting outside and soaking up some sun! ![Purchased salt bread and bakery items](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-18-1ld4o-966.webp) *Barirus in Paju: recommended breads, salt bread, and takeaway bakery items* And then, this mother and daughter’s love of bread.......... 🙄 We stocked up on Basque cheesecake / fruit pandoro / plain salt bread / egg mayo salt bread / squid ink cheese ciabatta 👊 ![Purchased Basque cheesecake and breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-19-m4744-966.webp) ![Americano and sweet desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-20-1iz2a-966.webp) The bread was even tastier than expected! I chose beans with less acidity for my Americano, and it went so nicely with the sweet desserts. ## Self-packing station and ample parking ![Inside Barirus restroom and self-packing instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-21-daqdz-966.webp) *Inside the restroom at Barirus, a large bakery café in Paju* Even the restroom at Barirus was pretty. Barirus doesn’t pack bakery items at the counter; it has a self-packing station instead. There were OPP plastic bags in different sizes for the bread, plus bags to carry all the packed bread away in! ![Bakery items packed in OPP plastic bags](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-22-1o9y2-966.webp) *Packing bread at Barirus, a bakery café in Paju* The bread we were too full to finish was neatly packed into OPP plastic bags like this! ![A companion before leaving Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus-23-weag4-966.webp) *Recommended Paju date destination near Seoul: Barirus* Before leaving, I had to take a photo of Mom from behind too 🤭 After spending about two hours there, the parking lot had gotten packed! Still, it was so spacious that there were parking spaces tucked away here and there. I recommend Barirus, the Paju café that even this beginner driver made it to safely 🚗 ## Where it is - Barirus (바리루스) (바리루스) - 245 Bongseosan-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 파주시 파주읍 봉서산로 245 2층 - 37.833184, 126.8035229 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%94%EB%A6%AC%EB%A3%A8%EC%8A%A4/@37.833184,126.8035229,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-napkin-fold/paju-sunset-bakery-barirus/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
