Yonghwang-dong café with high chairs and fruit smoothies: Yellow Farm

My two-year-old is a total fruit killer — haha, in the best way. She loves watermelon, melon, banana, strawberry, peach, you name it, so I always keep fruit snacks stocked in the fridge. On a recent trip to Gyeongju, we ended up in Yonghwang-dong, and I found out there was a fresh fruit specialty café, Yellow Farm Gyeongju, nearby. They had watermelon juice, which my baby loves, so we went straight there.

Where is Yellow Farm Gyeongju, and what are the parking and hours?

Yellow Farm Gyeongju is on the first floor of the building next to Pang Pang Kids Café, near Hwangnam Elementary School in Yonghwang-dong, Gyeongju. It's open daily from 10 AM to 9 PM.

There are parking spaces beside the building, and you can also park along the roadside. Just park wherever's convenient and head on in.

Yellow Farm Gyeongju has a clean exterior and is open daily from 10 AM to 9 PM. That's pretty late, so it's a great spot for a fruit juice dessert after dinner too.

Inside Yellow Farm Gyeongju: interior and seating

The interior is clean and modern — so spotless that walking in, I thought it might be a newly opened café in Gyeongju.

There was a good variety of seating, so we could sit wherever we liked. We chose a window seat.

Yellow Farm Gyeongju is apparently famous for its mango bingsu (shaved ice dessert). One side of the café had mangoes piled up on display, and you could really feel how popular it is.

Yellow Farm Gyeongju menu and prices

The signature menu items are mango juice, a whole pineapple, omija (schisandra berry) yuzu, premium high-sweetness watermelon, and real melon smoothie. Beyond that, they have bingsu, coffee, smoothies, shakes, slushies, lattes, ades, teas, and desserts.

Next to the menu board were photos of each drink, which made choosing much easier. As a summer promotion, watermelon juice was discounted to ₩3,900 and tomato juice to ₩3,000.

If you leave a Naver receipt review, you get an americano or a chocolate chip cookie — definitely worth joining.

From mango cake to a variety of other cakes, madeleines, and financiers, there was a wide range of desserts — a Gyeongju café that dessert lovers would also enjoy.

How do the watermelon, melon and strawberry banana smoothies taste?

At Yellow Farm Gyeongju, we ordered the real melon smoothie, premium high-sweetness watermelon, and strawberry banana smoothie. We'd told ourselves we were there for mango, but there were so many delicious-looking menu items that, after a happy dilemma, we ended up ordering the fruits my daughter loves most.

The premium high-sweetness watermelon juice was so sweet from the first sip that I immediately thought, this is just watermelon, full stop. Perfect for drinking in summer.

The real melon smoothie, made with the melon my daughter is obsessed with! Since it's made with actual blended melon, it had that real fresh-fruit taste and was so good.

The strawberry banana smoothie was a last-minute detour from ordering mango. I used to love strawberry banana smoothies back in college, and seeing this on the menu after so long, I couldn't not order it. It apparently tasted even better than the ones I remember from my school days, haha.

The drinks that won over my whole family at Yellow Farm, our Gyeongju Yonghwang café! While I was filming a video, my daughter started going "wow!" and begging me to hurry up and give it to her, haha. I quickly finished filming and handed it over.

Why Yellow Farm Gyeongju works so well with a baby

If you're looking for a baby-friendly café in Gyeongju, Yellow Farm Gyeongju's Yonghwang location is an excellent choice. Most importantly, they have a clean baby chair.

As a fresh fruit juice specialty shop, it's easy for babies to eat too, so mom, dad, and baby can all enjoy it together. After one bite, my daughter said it was delicious and kept asking for more.

They also gave us a spoon, which made it easy to feed her bite by bite. At first I thought the cups looked small, but once we started eating, the portions turned out to be huge — all three of us left completely full.

Our second baby, who can still only have formula and breast milk, stayed quiet in mom's arms the whole time. If you're looking for a baby-friendly café in Gyeongju, go check out Yellow Farm!
