Rather than heading far out to the outskirts, I enjoyed a green, restful break somewhere really close by in Uijeongbu. ![Forerest entrance sign and sculpture](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-02-1ujyb-966.webp) At the entrance, there was a sign introducing Forerest alongside a large sculpture. This is where you turn in and enter. ![Access road leading to the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-03-1j7w7-966.webp) Once you are in, turn right and follow the road uphill; you will see the café above. ![Café visible between the trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-04-1iyiv-966.webp) Forerest is a dessert café in Nogyang-dong, Uijeongbu where you can have a cup of coffee while soaking up the ease that all the greenery brings!

The place was overflowing with the feeling of having stepped into a gallery. Inside, there were spaces and tables with different charms. It would be lovely for a date in Uijeongbu, and I think it would also work well for a fun visit with a group. ![Forerest outdoor table area](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-10-2ou2c-966.webp) Especially when a cool breeze is blowing like it has been lately, spending time at an outdoor table would be so nice. ![Outdoor table set among trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-11-uy7ql-966.webp) Just sitting at a table among the surrounding trees feels healing in itself. My eyes naturally went to each table and the clean, stylish interior. It was a space whose charms came through everywhere. What is more, Forerest is a place where you can spend time with your beloved dog, which is quite a nice point! It is a pet-friendly café, so you can visit without hesitation. ![Stylish tables inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-12-1e3wy-966.webp) ![Forerest interior space](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-13-1qkss-966.webp) ![Pet-friendly café space](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-14-1g0ma-966.webp) ## Well-balanced coffee and dense yet smooth desserts All right, now the Basque cheesecake that lets you taste Forerest's real charm makes its appearance! This really is a fantastic place for cake in Uijeongbu. ![Basque cheesecake and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-15-4sjen-966.webp) ![Forerest Basque cheesecake dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-16-13juu-966.webp) The delicate, balanced Americano went remarkably well with the Basque cheesecake, too. Its aroma was so good, and I loved the flavor spreading through my mouth as well as the clean finish. ![Americano and Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-17-rudxo-966.webp) ![Cheesecake served with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-18-1kuz2-966.webp) The Basque cheesecake was a work of art—good enough to call this a Uijeongbu cake destination! ![Dense Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-19-17063-966.webp) I heard they make it in-house, then let it rest for a full 16 hours. We ordered the matcha Basque cheesecake and the chocolate Basque cheesecake. ![Matcha and chocolate Basque cheesecakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-20-1lyl8-966.webp) It was a café where the deep matcha and rich chocolate flavors were both incredibly delicious. ![Richly flavored Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-21-197wx-966.webp) There is definitely something that comes from real time and care. ![Basque cheesecakes in several flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-22-ecmrp-966.webp) They had Basque cheesecakes in plain, chocolate, black sesame, Earl Grey, and matcha. And they are gluten-free, too! Can you feel that dense, creamy texture through the photos? It honestly felt almost like eating ice cream. The rich, thick yet soft texture lingered in my mouth, and then a sip of Americano made it absolutely perfect. ## A personal healing café I want to revisit Forerest in Nogyang-dong is a great Uijeongbu dessert café for enjoying sweet, special desserts while taking away the comfort and healing that a forest brings. ![Forerest café with a forest atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-23-1hsdi-966.webp) If you want to spend some healing time with a cup of coffee while feeling a forest in the city on a pleasantly cool day, visit Forerest, a great Uijeongbu spot for cake. ![A restful moment at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate-24-1blbw-966.webp) ## Where it is - Forerest (포어레스트) - 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 녹양로 181 포어레스트 - 37.7673048, 127.0340576 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%AC%EC%96%B4%EB%A0%88%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8/@37.7673048,127.0340576,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-window-pages/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-matcha-chocolate/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
