During the Yeosu World Islands Expo, we toured Isunsin Square and the turtle ship, then stopped at Avocado Yeosu for an avocado banh mi (Vietnamese baguette sandwich) with plenty of extra cilantro and an avocado smoothie. The banh mi was filling even split between two people and the smoothie was creamy with bits of chewy coconut, making Avocado Yeosu an easy rest stop mid-trip. ## Good to know - **Location**: 6 Tongjeyeong 4-gil, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do (near Isunsin Square) - **Hours**: Wed–Mon 09:00–22:00, Tue 12:00–22:00 - **Parking**: Use the nearby paid public parking lot - **Ordering**: Kiosk ordering, seating available - **Menu**: Avocado smoothie, avocado banh mi, ice cream, coffee, condensed milk latte - **Ingredients**: Fresh avocados, not frozen - **Event**: Receipt review event running *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Avocado banh mi and smoothie at Avocado Yeosu](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-01-m4l4i-1200.webp) ## Where is Avocado Yeosu and what are its hours?

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 ~~ ![Viewing the turtle ship at Isunsin Square](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-03-1tif8-966.webp) 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!! ![Exterior of Avocado Yeosu](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-04-xcppu-966.webp) ## 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. ![Sign noting only fresh avocado is used](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-05-smdxb-966.webp) 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. ![Interior of Avocado Yeosu with a Vietnamese café vibe](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-06-1x1xa-966.webp) 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. ![Avocado figurines and seating in the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-07-ja3sl-966.webp) 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. ![Kiosk ordering screen at Avocado Yeosu](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-08-11gos-966.webp) ![Menu board at Avocado Yeosu](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-09-vh1t2-966.webp) ## 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! ![Receipt review event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-10-11p26-966.webp) > What we ordered ![Ordered avocado banh mi and avocado smoothie](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-11-f25bi-966.webp) ### 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. ![Cross-section of avocado banh mi with beef bulgogi and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-12-ugkf3-966.webp) 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. ![Banh mi with extra cilantro added](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-13-1f3r4-966.webp) ### 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 🍃 ![Pale green avocado smoothie](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-14-1j4bu-966.webp) 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. ![Avocado smoothie with chewy coconut texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe/avocado-yeosu-banh-mi-coriander-cafe-15-1deu6-966.webp) ## Why Avocado Yeosu fits an Isunsin Square walking route If you're traveling in Yeosu and looking for somewhere simple to eat near Isunsin Square, this café near Isunsin Square is worth stopping by.
