Jeju airport café for decaf hand-drip coffee: Gluttony Coffee

On the last day of a Jeju trip, you have to stop at a café before returning the rental car, right? This time I went to Gluttony Coffee, a Jeju spot also famous for its desserts. It is close enough to the airport, so we stopped in before returning the car and properly tucked into coffee and cake!

Gluttony Coffee location, parking, and hours

Location: 38 Gunam-ro 2-gil, 1F, Jeju-si, Jeju, South Korea It is in a convenient spot if you are looking for a café near Jeju Airport, and the route works well for a stop before returning a rental car too. Just 10 minutes by car from the airport!

You can use the free public parking lot nearby. Hours are daily from 11:00 to 20:00, with last orders at 19:30.

A hip, atmospheric café interior

Oh my god, the place was packed with people. Gluttony Coffee has quite the reputation as a dessert gem, so let’s hop aboard.

Overall, it is a really hip café with a lovely atmosphere. Stylish little objects are placed throughout, so it is fun to look around too.

And while the interior is not huge, the floor-to-ceiling windows keep it from feeling cramped and make the view feel wide open, haha.

Desserts from Levain cookies to canelés

Gluttony Coffee has quite a wide dessert selection. Even the Levain cookies come in lots of varieties, including Nutella, white macadamia, matcha macadamia, walnut dark chocolate, hazelnut dark chocolate, and red velvet.

There are also lots of canelés, Mont Blancs, and financiers, so if you like baked treats, you may need a little time to choose.

Yes, this was what two people ate. I am really into sweets these days, so dessert is absolutely mandatory whenever I go to a café.. 🍰

Rich, low-acidity decaf hand-drip coffee

Decaf is only available as hand-drip, so I ordered it iced. To be honest, decaf coffee can often be a little disappointing, so I ordered without big expectations—but what???

It was seriously delicious. Even though it was hand-drip, it was rich and had almost no acidity, which I personally really liked. It was decaf but not watery at all, with a clear coffee flavor that was so similar to regular coffee! What a coffee gem. 🤎

Fig cake and the signature latte

If you love figs, you have to eat them diligently while they are in season. So of course I picked the fig cake right away. The cake layers were soft, and there were generous pieces of fig throughout, making every bite nicely textured. The whipped cream itself was delicious too, so the cake felt really well made!

The Gluttony Café Latte is their signature, so I had high expectations—and it was exactly the kind of rich, nutty latte I had imagined. It was not especially sweet; the nutty flavor of the milk took center stage, so even people who do not like sweet drinks could enjoy it easily. Since the desserts are fairly sweet, coffee that is not too sweet paired with them really well, haha.

The chocolate cake was my husband’s pick. Chocolate lovers cannot pass it by. There were chocolate chips throughout for a fun texture, and the chocolate flavor was rich, so anyone who likes chocolate desserts would be satisfied!

I put the Cream Cheese Red Velvet in the fridge at home and ate it later—wow, this was insanely good. It was packed with cream cheese and incredibly substantial. One of the best Levain cookies I have had. If I had known this was such a great Levain cookie spot, I would have bought more.

Why it was a great dessert café before the airport

Gluttony Coffee, a café near Jeju Airport, is more of a dessert café to enjoy with a range of treats than somewhere to only drink coffee. From cakes and cookies to financiers, canelés, and Levain cookies, there is plenty to choose from according to your taste, haha.

And today’s MVP was the hand-drip coffee!! It suited my taste perfectly because I love rich, nutty coffee without acidity. If you are craving a cup of coffee and a sweet dessert before heading to the airport, give Gluttony Coffee a visit.
