Yeosu café with extra-cilantro avocado banh mi: Avocado Yeosu

Where is Avocado Yeosu and what are its hours?

Avocado Yeosu, a café near Isunsin Square in Yeosu, is located at 6 Tongjeyeong 4-gil, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do. It's open Wednesday to Monday from 09:00 to 22:00, and Tuesdays from 12:00 to 22:00, with parking available at a nearby paid public lot.

I came to Yeosu on a trip and wandered around Isunsin Square. Maybe because it was during the 2026 Yeosu World Islands Expo, the place was buzzing with people and tourists, and it really felt like a proper trip for the first time in a while ~~

After looking around Isunsin Square and the turtle ship, I started getting a little hungry and wanted something cold to drink — that's when I found Avocado Yeosu!!

What does Avocado Yeosu look like inside and out?

From the outside, Avocado Yeosu makes it obvious with its name — you can tell right away it's an avocado specialty shop. There was something cute and exotic about the vibe right from the front, so I naturally walked in.

They say they use only fresh avocado here, not frozen. Since I'm a fan of avocado, this detail made me happy for no particular reason.

Inside, it was even more charming than it looked from outside. It felt almost like being at a Vietnamese café, and there were little avocado figurines scattered around that were fun to look at.

Ordering is done easily through a kiosk, and there were more seats to eat in than I expected — good for a short rest during a trip.

What's on the menu at Avocado Yeosu?

The menu was more varied than I expected. Besides the signature avocado smoothie, there's ice cream, coffee, banh mi, condensed milk latte, and more — good whether you just want a drink or a light meal. They're also running a receipt review event, so check that out if you visit!

What we ordered

Avocado banh mi with extra cilantro: filling enough for two

First, the avocado banh mi came with a crispy toasted Vietnamese baguette stuffed generously with avocado, beef bulgogi, and vegetables like carrot. It was bigger than expected — plenty for two people. We cut it up to share, and even just this was quite filling.

You can choose whether to add cilantro, and since I love cilantro, I asked for a lot 🤤💛🤤💛 With the cilantro in, that distinct Vietnamese-food feel really came through, and it was really delicious.

Does the avocado smoothie at Avocado Yeosu taste grassy?

And the one I was most curious about — the avocado smoothie! With its pale green color, I was a bit worried it might smell grassy, but it was completely different from what I imagined once I tried it. It was super smooth and creamy, letting the nutty flavor of avocado really come through. It was less heavy or thick than I expected, and it went down so smoothly that I kept reaching for more 🍃

There was also a bit of chewy texture here and there, which I think was dried coconut. The soft smoothie paired with that slight chewiness worked surprisingly well, and it had a different charm from the usual fresh fruit juice. The avocado smoothie was more unique and delicious than expected — worth trying at least once if you like avocado.
