On the terraced floor seating of the 2nd floor, facing the sea through floor-to-ceiling windows, corn ice cream, strawberry latte, and chocolat classique cake were on the table, and each floor has its own theme, which made exploring fun. The spacious layout and ample dedicated parking made it an easy place to relax without feeling cramped. ## Good to know - **Location**: 607 Haean-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea, floors 1–3 (in front of the Gyeongpodae coastal road) - **Floor guide**: 1F Bakery & Cafe (order/pickup/return/parking), 2F NIGHT (tables, terrace, no-kids zone), 3F WHITE (tables, terrace, no-kids zone), 4F ROOFTOP (rooftop, sky stairs, no-kids zone) - **Parking**: Ample dedicated parking in front of the store - **Seating**: Terraced floor seating on the 2nd floor - **Menu**: Corn ice cream ₩6,500, strawberry latte, chocolat classique - **Ingredients**: Reportedly uses the French brand 'Ardimance purée' *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* A while back I took a healing trip away from my stuffy daily routine to Gangneung, where the cool sound of waves was waiting. When you're in Gangneung, visiting a gorgeous café with ocean views is basically a required stop, right? ![View of Gyeongpodae Beach from Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-01-1ywfs-900.webp) This time I found a large Gangneung bakery café that had it all — a wide-open sea view, a spacious and comfortable interior, and delicious desserts — and I want to introduce it to you. It's Baegya Coffee & Bakery, located right in front of the Gyeongpodae coastal road! ## A grand exterior, convenient parking, and a floor guide ![Exterior of Baegya Coffee's large building in front of the Gyeongpodae coastal road](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-02-1ukt8-900.webp) If you drive along Gyeongpodae Beach, the huge building that catches your eye right away is Baegya Coffee. It's such a massive Gangneung bakery café that the entire building is used as the café, ![Full view of the building used entirely by Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-03-8rbxx-900.webp) ![Dedicated parking area in front of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-04-1nwx5-900.webp) and from the first impression there was zero feeling of being cramped. There's also plenty of dedicated parking in front of the store, so I walked in comfortably without any parking worries. ### Baegya Coffee's floor guide — a different theme on every level At the entrance's glass door there was a detailed floor-by-floor guide. ![Floor-by-floor guide on the glass door at the entrance of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-05-1kdu0-900.webp) - 1F: Bakery & Cafe (order, pickup, return, parking) - 2F: NIGHT (tables, terrace, no-kids zone) - 3F: WHITE (tables, terrace, no-kids zone) - 4F: ROOFTOP (rooftop, sky stairs, no-kids zone) Each floor had its own theme and mood, which made it genuinely fun just to explore. ## A comfortable 2nd-floor floor-seating space with a cool ocean view True to its size as a large café, the inside was really spacious and pleasant. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows the blue sea of Gyeongpodae in Gangneung fills your view, and just looking at it felt like all my stress melted away, haha. ![Interior of Baegya Coffee with Gyeongpodae Beach visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-06-xks5q-900.webp) What I especially loved was that the 2nd floor has floor seating where you can sit comfortably and relax! Sitting in the neatly arranged terraced floor seating, sipping coffee while looking out at the sea, made for an even more leisurely and comfortable healing moment. ![Terraced floor-seating area on the 2nd floor of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-07-1hlhi-900.webp) The 3rd floor and the 4th-floor rooftop also have a wide-open view of the East Sea and a sky-stairs photo zone, perfect for capturing that once-in-a-lifetime shot. ## Premium ingredients and bakery goods made with care ![Sign about the premium fruit purée used at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-08-1fqpe-900.webp) Baegya Coffee reportedly uses the premium French brand 'Ardimance purée,' made with 100% pure fruit. That's probably why the quality of the drinks felt a cut above. ![1st-floor bakery display counter at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-09-1jngv-900.webp) ![1st-floor ordering area and dessert case at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-10-nw8r6-900.webp) At the 1st-floor bakery counter, baked goods and desserts were neatly displayed, packaged cleanly and hygienically. ![Individually packaged baked goods at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-11-ghwqi-900.webp) ![Financiers and other baked goods on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-12-iffnq-900.webp) ![Pound cakes displayed at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-13-56hjc-900.webp) ![Various bakery items lined up at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-14-s4s9a-900.webp) From financiers to pound cakes, the lineup was so varied that anyone who loves dessert would find it hard to just walk past this large Gangneung bakery café. ## An honest review of the signature desserts and drinks ![Table set with Baegya Coffee's signature menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-15-1wb6f-900.webp) We went ahead and ordered generously from Baegya Coffee's most recommended signature menu items! ### Corn ice cream (옥시기 아이스크림, ₩6,500) Baegya Coffee's first signature menu item, the 'okshigi ice cream' (corn ice cream)! Rich and sweet — ![Corn ice cream topped with corn crumble](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-16-1r7ge-900.webp) corn ice cream topped generously with crunchy, nutty corn crumble. One bite blends the soft ice cream with that crunchy texture, and the nutty flavor spreads all through your mouth — a taste that instantly explains why it's the signature item. ![Strawberry latte with strawberry flesh alongside chocolat classique](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-17-qq72x-900.webp) ### Strawberry latte The strawberry latte, packed with tangy, sweet strawberry flesh, brings together premium purée and fresh milk for a perfect balance of milky richness and strawberry tang, haha. ### Chocolat classique The chocolat classique cake has a heavy, striking presence from the moment you see it! The combination of rich, chewy chocolate flavor and soft cream was pure art. The moment it hit my mouth, the sweetness spread and all the travel fatigue seemed to melt away. ## Overall verdict ![Desserts seen from an ocean-view seat at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-18-pjtxn-900.webp) ![Gyeongpodae Beach view from the floor seating at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-19-qorgw-900.webp) ![Spacious, wide-open interior of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating/gangneung-large-bakery-cafe-floor-seating-20-ojsv5-900.webp) It was a time to enjoy delicious desserts while gazing at the cool Gyeongpodae ocean view from the comfortable 2nd-floor floor seating.
