Mountain-view bakery café in Yangju with rainy-day fall foliage: Duru

What kind of café is Duru in Yangju?

Duru (두루) is a large bakery café on a mountainside in Namyeon-myeon, Yangju. I heard there was a café with great mountain views in Yangju, so I came to see it!

Is Duru's yard good for kids and pets?

Both the building and the yard are really big. Wow, it's huge! The yard is sooo big. It would be great for little kiddos to run around in! I wonder if someone sells bubble solution...

About the hours~ there's an outdoor area, so pets are allowed at Duru's outdoor seating!

The 1st floor of Duru is a kids' care zone, the 2nd floor is a no-kids zone, and the 3rd floor is staff space, apparently.

What's the window view like at Duru on a rainy day?

Even though it was raining, there were quite a few people at Duru. With the floor-to-ceiling windows, it seems like it would feel atmospheric even on a rainy day~

You can see the big yard and the mountain out front, and the view is so refreshing and great! I wish this were my house.

What's on Duru's drink menu and in the bakery?

Duru's drink menu includes a chestnut latte and a sweet potato latte. The little kiddos could go for the watermelon juice or orange juice. It's not summer, so there are no smoothies, which is a shame... though smoothies are a hassle, I know...

Oh, they take Yangju Sarang gift certificates (local Yangju vouchers)~ There's lots of bakery stuff too~ They even have Dujjonku (Dubai chewy cookies)~

Oh, Dubai salt bread!!

I should have tried one... I was too full for bread, and now that tomato cream cheese sandwich is stuck in my head (T_T)

Duru's gift items and review event

It looks like Duru sells cute little goods too. There's Hello Kitty and Monchhichi~ Are these for sale too...?

Ah! If you write a Naver review you can do this kind of thing~ The mug was so pretty! I should have done it!

You can also buy kids' drinks and Duru canned coffee.

A colorful, cute shop~ This spot is cozy and nice too!

The cups are pretty~ Is "Duru" like "durumi" (a crane)? Or "duruduru" (all around), as in may everything go well all around? Or "durumari" toilet paper roll? Or "duruchigi" (a spicy stir-fry)?

Duru's yard and the mountain are so good! If it hadn't rained, sitting at the outdoor seats in the sun with a hot coffee would be wonderful.

Is the mountain view better from Duru's 2nd floor?

Duru's 2nd floor is a no-kids zone, but I took a little peek~

Wow, the view is even better on the 2nd floor~

Plenty of seats too~! Ahh, the mountain and the colorful chairs~ With the rain, the mood is so good. The colorful autumn leaves are so lovely too~ Ahh~ I wish this were my house~

Haha, Christmas is coming, so there are cute gift decorations too.

Walking Duru's yard after the rain

The rain stopped, so I stepped out into Duru's yard for a bit~ There's a heater too, and wow, it's wide.

A mountain full of autumn leaves, rice paddies, a big yard, and I had a comfy, great time. When will I ever get to stroll a yard like this~ It would be nice to hold a wedding in a place like this! Bringing a pet when it's warm would be nice too~ I rested in a lovely way on a rainy day, and now I'm off!
