Meet Caffeine Focus — a view spot with the Hwaseong Fortress wall in full sight, famous for ciabatta baked fresh every morning. ![View of Caffeine Focus with the Hwaseong Fortress wall in the background](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-01-46sd2-1200.webp) I'll go through parking, the vibe inside, and how the bakery items tasted in detail, so take notes! ## Caffeine Focus hours and where to park in Haenggung-dong Caffeine Focus is open daily from 11:00 to 20:00 and closed every Tuesday. For parking, you can use the resident-priority zone outside the fortress wall right in front of the café, free self-parking allowed until 6 PM. - ⏰ Daily 11:00–20:00 - Closed every Tuesday - 🅿️ Resident-priority parking zone outside the fortress wall in front of the café (free self-parking until 6 PM) - Weekends get crowded out front, so use a nearby public parking lot instead ![Parking zone outside the fortress wall in front of Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-02-qbl4b-966.webp) ![Exterior of the Caffeine Focus building on Changnyong-daero](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-03-1p0oq-966.webp) The exterior alone had such a neat, clean atmosphere. ![Neat, clean entrance of Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-04-jgf9j-966.webp) There's also a nicely designed terrace, so on a sunny day sitting outside would be a lovely way to relax. ![Outdoor terrace seating at Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-05-9025g-966.webp) ![Terrace tables with the fortress wall visible in the distance](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-06-n9tkm-966.webp) ## Seats at Caffeine Focus, from the 1st floor counter to the 3rd floor terrace Caffeine Focus works like this: you order at the 1st floor counter, and the fortress-view seats are on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Right as you walk in there's the ordering counter, where they say they bake the ciabatta fresh every morning in-store — I was already so excited before even getting there! ![1st floor ordering counter at Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-07-cmzuq-966.webp) ![Bakery display case with ciabatta baked fresh every morning](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-08-i7ti3-966.webp) Through the windows, the beautiful Hwaseong Fortress wall was laid out completely in view — a true fortress-view spot! There were quite a few people on the 2nd floor working on laptops or doing personal work that day. The whole atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, and I really loved that stillness. ![Hwaseong Fortress wall view from the 2nd floor window](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-09-11qnf-966.webp) ![Quiet 2nd floor seating area at Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-10-3qpjp-966.webp) I also had a quick look at the 3rd floor, which had terrace seating plus a good mix of solo seats and larger tables for groups!

The squid ink cheese ciabatta at Caffeine Focus was chewy with a cheese flavor that wasn't overpowering — mild and clean. Wow... the texture had me sighing in admiration from the very first bite! The bread was incredibly chewy, with a stretchiness that was genuinely special. ![Cross-section of a bitten-into squid ink cheese ciabatta](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-15-1kaik-966.webp) The cheese flavor doesn't hit sharply — it's nutty and blends in mildly, keeping things clean and light! It's the kind of bread anyone, any age, would like, and I ended up polishing it off in about 5 minutes 😋 ![Decaf iced americano at Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-16-17ng2-966.webp) *Decaf iced americano* ### Decaf iced americano and premium royal milk tea The decaf iced americano had a clean finish, no heaviness or sourness, so it went perfectly with the nutty ciabatta!! ![A cup of premium royal milk tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-17-fi4st-966.webp) *Royal milk tea* The subtle tea aroma and the sweet, smooth milk flavor spread through richly — exactly right for a sugar boost~ ![Drinks on a window table with the fortress wall view](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-18-qydsb-966.webp) ![Hwaseong Fortress seen from a window seat at Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-19-1y199-966.webp) ## Winding down with the Hwaseong Fortress wall in view Caffeine Focus, near Haenggung-dong, was a café where I could truly unwind while taking in the gorgeous view of the Hwaseong Fortress wall! ![Interior atmosphere at Caffeine Focus with the fortress wall view](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea/cafe-in-focus-suwon-royal-milk-tea-20-1xymt-966.webp) With its own parking space out front, it's easy to get to, and the quiet atmosphere made it great for chatting.
