Café near the Gwangalli fireworks show with mango French toast: Deokmi
In short
Deokmi Atelier Gwangan Branch (덕미 아틀리에 광안점) is a café in a converted house in Suyeong, Busan, a 5-minute walk from Gwangalli Beach. Arriving right at opening, the writer tried the mango French toast (18,000 won), mango ade, an Americano, a decaf Americano and Oreo cheesecake, and the moist French toast piled with fresh mango was the highlight. Close to the Gwangalli fireworks and drone show spot, Deokmi Atelier Gwangan Branch is a solid pick for brunch and handmade desserts near Gwangalli.

Where is Deokmi Atelier Gwangan Branch near Gwangalli Beach?
Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch is a 5-minute walk from Gwangalli Beach and about 10 minutes on foot from Gwangan Station, so it's easy to reach when you're around Gwangalli~ It's also close to where the Gwangalli fireworks and drone shows are held, so I hear lots of people look for it as a fireworks or drone show vantage spot.
It has the look of a converted-house café, so I wandered around the yard for a bit and then headed straight in~
Oh, and there was a cute kitty by the entrance who came and went from the café freely and absolutely loved people, a real dog-like cat 🤍
Deokmi Atelier Gwangan Branch interior and seating
The inside has eye-catching wood-tone interiors, and the space is fairly large with plenty of seats. I somehow ended up there right at opening, and the windows all around gave it an airy feel that I loved.
They said they decorated each corner with small European cafés and restaurants in mind, and you could feel the care they put into it.
Maybe because "atelier" can also mean an artist's studio, there were art supplies here and there and cute paintings to look at haha. Someone with zero drawing talent like me can only be jealous lol
Inside the café in Millak-dong, there's a self-serve bar with water and napkins, and the restrooms are separate for men and women~
What's on the menu at Deokmi Atelier Gwangan Branch?
Menus were set out on every table, and besides coffee, tea and drinks there were brunch dishes, sandwiches, desserts and soups, so there was plenty to choose from~ The desserts change every season, using ingredients like strawberry, chestnut, chocolate, fig, mango and blueberry depending on the time of year.
A receipt review event was running, and joining it got me ₩1,000 off. I also checked the Wi-Fi info at the bottom, check check

Americano vs. decaf Americano: how do they taste?
The Americano at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch was rich with no wateriness in both the regular and decaf versions, and of the two, the decaf had a bit more acidity! Here's a shot after taking them off the tray 📸
Mango ade at Deokmi Atelier
The mango ade had pieces of fresh mango, not frozen, which I think made it even tastier.
How was the mango French toast?
The mango French toast (₩18,000) at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch came with fresh mango piled on without holding back, so I could eat as much fruit as I wanted with it, and the bread was moist too. I gasped at how pretty it looked the moment I saw it 💫
There was cream and edible flowers on top, and can you see how much mango they heaped on?! They even got the sweetness right, so yummy~~~
The bread was moist without a trace of dryness, and not overly soggy either, so the texture was great.
Oreo cheesecake at Deokmi Atelier
Last was the Oreo cheesecake from Deokmi Atelier! Cheesecake and Oreo turned out to be a surprisingly good combo, and it's quite sweet, so I thought it'd be a good order when you need a sugar boost haha
Is Deokmi Atelier Gwangan Branch worth visiting?
The café has a really lovely atmosphere and a solid range of desserts, so if you're looking for a café near Gwangalli, I think you can visit without a second thought 😊
