Visiting on purpose after 10am, when the showcase is still full, meant tasting pain au chocolat, egg tart, dirty choco pain au chocolat, and the signature cream latte Frank Coffee. The bakery quality rivals a dedicated bakery, making it worth adding to any Damyang itinerary. ## Good to know - **Address**: 13 Metaprovence 1-gil, Damyang-eup, Damyang-gun, Jeonnam, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 9:30–22:00 - **Parking**: Metaprovence complex parking lot, 1 minute away; parking beside the building - **Ordered**: Americano, Frank Coffee, dirty choco pain au chocolat, egg tart, croissant, pain au chocolat - **Menu categories**: Coffee, lattes, tea, signature drinks, beverages, matcha, bakery, croffles (original, brown cheese, churro) *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Main photo of Frank Coffin Bar Damyang near Metaprovence](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-01-1pjxs-1200.webp) Do you know Metaprovence, the must-visit spot on any Damyang trip? It's an exotic recreation of Provence, the famous French resort town, so it draws a lot of tourists. After a walk down the green metasequoia tree-lined road, I stopped by Frank Coffin Bar, a Damyang café, for coffee and bakery. ## Location and hours of Frank Coffin Bar Damyang - Address: 13 Metaprovence 1-gil, Damyang-eup, Damyang-gun, Jeonnam - Hours: Daily 9:30–22:00 - Parking: Metaprovence complex parking lot, 1 minute away ## The entrance to Metaprovence and the storefront vibe ![Exterior of Frank Coffin Bar Damyang at the entrance to Metaprovence](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-02-16sc6-900.webp) If you're doing a Damyang trip, Metaprovence is the number one recommended stop 🌲. Frank Coffin Bar Damyang sits right at the entrance to Metaprovence, so it's really easy to find. There's parking beside the building, so I parked and walked over. ![Metaprovence street around the Frank Coffin Bar Damyang building](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-03-1l49l-900.webp) Nearby you'll find the metasequoia road, Juknokwon bamboo forest, Gwanbangjerim, and Soswaewon, all about 10 minutes by car, so this is a great stop to add to a Damyang trip. ![Exotic-feeling outdoor terrace seating at Frank Coffin Bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-04-kh0l4-900.webp) You know how in YouTube Europe travel vlogs people always have an espresso on a terrace like this? I've never been to Europe... so let me get a little vicarious thrill on this terrace with such a strong European feel 🫶 ## Wood-toned vintage interior and seating ![Interior with wood-toned decor, vintage props, and a speaker](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-05-vppik-900.webp) A space full of wood-toned interiors and elegant vintage props. I especially wanted that speaker playing such moody music 😊 ![Indoor seating at Frank Coffin Bar with sunlight through the windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-06-blm99-900.webp) ![Window-side tables and lighting at Frank Coffin Bar Damyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-07-jbqqa-m-900.webp) There are floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, so sunlight pours into the space. It has a nice atmosphere in the daytime, but at night, the soft indirect lighting lowers the brightness for a cozy feel. ![Spacious seating area toward the back of the store with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-08-jr804-900.webp) There's an even bigger space toward the back of the store?!?! The seats are spacious and the tables are well spread out, so you could totally chat here all day long ❗️ ## Menu and bakery lineup at Frank Coffin Bar ![Frank Coffin Bar menu board listing coffee, lattes, and signature drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-09-e6hym-824.webp) Frank Coffin Bar, this Damyang café, has a wide range of menu items — coffee, lattes, tea, signature drinks, beverages, matcha, bakery, and more. The signature cream latte, Frank Coffee, is especially the kick here ☕️ ![Croffle menu information visible behind the menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-10-1ti4c-900.webp) Behind the menu board you can see the croffles. There's original, brown cheese, and churro flavors, all topped with vanilla ice cream, and they're seriously delicious. Highly recommend ⭐️ ![Clean showcase filled with bakery items](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-11-dd2ex-900.webp) The showcase is packed with bakery items. If it were open and exposed, you'd worry about dust settling on it, but this clean, hygienic display case is great ✨ ![Full display case of morning bakery lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-12-cdcmv-900.webp) ### Go in the morning to see the full bakery lineup This is a place where the showcase goes nearly empty in the afternoon, so I deliberately came after 10am. Pat myself on the back for that one 😍🫶 Everyone — come early. You'll get to see the full, gorgeous bakery lineup. ![Pain au chocolat, vanilla crouton, and tissue bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-13-c230x-900.webp) *Pain au chocolat / vanilla crouton / dirty choco pain au chocolat / tissue bread* Pain au chocolat / vanilla crouton / dirty choco pain au chocolat / tissue bread ![Cru-key and kouign-amann displayed in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-14-rypnz-900.webp) ![Pistachio kouign-amann on the bakery display stand](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-15-1pbv2-900.webp) ![Egg tarts and croissants in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-16-r6sjj-900.webp) ![Dubai croissant and castella cream croissant on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-17-h6p5p-900.webp) *Cru-key / kouign-amann / pistachio kouign-amann / egg tart / croissant / Dubai croissant / castella cream croissant* Cru-key / kouign-amann / pistachio kouign-amann / egg tart / croissant / Dubai croissant / castella cream croissant ![Mont Blanc, meat sausage paste bread, and vanilla pain suisse](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-18-1uacj-900.webp) *Mont Blanc / meat sausage paste bread / vanilla pain suisse* Mont Blanc / meat sausage paste bread / vanilla pain suisse ## Tasting time — Frank Coffee and three breads ![Frank Coffin Bar receipt with a Snoopy drawing](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-19-17oqf-900.webp) What I ordered: Americano, Frank Coffee, dirty choco pain au chocolat, egg tart, croissant, pain au chocolat. Isn't the receipt edgy? I kind of want to trace that Snoopy drawing ❤️ ![Signature Frank Coffee latte topped with cream and cinnamon powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-20-3e5g3-900.webp) ![Close-up of cinnamon powder on the Frank Coffee cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-21-143g7-900.webp) First up, Frank Coffee. This is the signature cream latte you must order when you come to Frank Coffin Bar. Soft cream sits on top of the latte with cinnamon powder sprinkled on top, making it feel even more like fall 🍁🍂 I drank it straight without stirring and it was seriously delicious. Sweet-latte lovers, order this one without a doubt. ![Table setting with dirty choco pain au chocolat, egg tart, and pain au chocolat](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-22-hqdyg-900.webp) ![Cross-section view of the dirty choco pain au chocolat](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-23-1i70s-900.webp) ![Egg tart and croissant served alongside coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery-24-1ciwk-900.webp) Dirty choco pain au chocolat, egg tart, pain au chocolat. Cafés in scenic tourist spots usually make you lower your expectations for the bread, but this is seriously delicious, holding its own against a dedicated bakery. The ingredients are rich and it's really chewy ❤️ The fact that so many items sell out by the afternoon proves how popular it is :) ## Final thoughts Frank Coffin Bar, a Damyang café, has a calm and cozy feel as a bakery café, with a gorgeous bread lineup and great coffee, making it a perfect spot for a weekend date in Damyang. It's not easy for a café at a hot tourist spot to nail both atmosphere and taste. I think it's worth a visit once you're at Metaprovence in Damyang. ## Where it is - Frank Coffin Bar Damyang (프랭크커핀바 담양점) - 13 Metaprovence 1-gil, Damyang-eup, Damyang-gun, Jeonnam, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 담양군 담양읍 메타프로방스1길 13 101호 - 35.3226755, 127.0021127 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%84%EB%9E%AD%ED%81%AC%EC%BB%A4%ED%95%80%EB%B0%94%20%EB%8B%B4%EC%96%91%EC%A0%90/@35.3226755,127.0021127,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeolla-meal-stops/damyang-metaprovence-cafe-morning-bakery/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
