On a summer trip to Busan, the writer stopped in after lunch to escape the midday heat, ordered a torched crème brûlée French toast and a fresh mango tiramisu, and stayed for a long time in the brick-arched, high-ceilinged room. Deokmi Atelier is a good fit for couples who love French toast and want a Gwangalli date café. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 25 Gwangnam-ro 172beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan (near Gwangalli Beach) - **What we ordered**: Crème brûlée French toast, fresh mango tiramisu - **Brunch menu**: Sandwiches and several kinds of French toast - **Coffee bean options**: Seasonal fruity, nutty, or decaf (switch at no extra cost) *as written by the visitor on Aug 2, 2026* ## Escaping the midday summer heat at a Gwangalli dessert café Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch is a Gwangalli dessert café I visited after lunch to get away from the midday heat on a summer trip to Busan. The sun was so hot at midday that walking around outdoors was tough. So after lunch I looked for somewhere cool to have a coffee, and went to a Gwangalli café I had saved on my map for a while. Gwangalli has so many atmospheric cafés, but this one satisfied me on both mood and desserts, so I want to introduce it :) ![Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch, a Gwangalli dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-01-m7j5n-966.webp) The Gwangalli dessert café I went to is Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch. You can have brunch, dessert and coffee here, and it's known for its European-feeling interior and French toast made in-house. ![European-style interior of Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-02-1lgro-966.webp) When I actually visited, the atmosphere was really good, so it suits a date, and it's such a pretty space for photos that you end up staying a long time. ![Exterior of Deokmi Atelier like a European alley café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-03-cfy4g-1200.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-04-1utak-966.webp) ## What is the atmosphere at Deokmi Atelier like? From the outside, Deokmi Atelier looks like a small café on a European side street, and inside, the high ceiling and brick arches are the focus. I felt that European-alley vibe from the outside already, and when I opened the door it was much better than I'd expected. ![Interior space of Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-05-14rr1-966.webp) ![Seating good for conversation at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-06-9wuqf-966.webp) It's good for quiet conversation and pretty for photos, so I could see right away why couples come here so often for dates. It's also close to Gwangalli Beach, so it's a perfect stop after a walk by the sea. Once inside, the first things you notice are the high ceiling and brick arches. Wood-toned furniture, warm lighting and vintage props blend together naturally, so it felt like visiting a small café in Europe. The big solid-wood table in the middle was impressive too. It felt comfortable whether you come alone, chat with a friend or come on a date. With natural light coming in through the windows, photos turn out pretty from any seat. There are so many atmospheric details that I kept taking photos even while waiting for my drink. ![Corner with decorative props inside Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-07-ys2tz-966.webp) ## Deokmi Atelier menu and coffee bean choices For brunch, Deokmi Atelier sells sandwiches and several kinds of French toast, and it also has lots of house-made cakes and desserts. They have a wide variety of sandwiches and French toast, and plenty of special homemade cakes and desserts. ![Brunch and dessert menu at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-08-dqp5k-966.webp) ![Cake and dessert display at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-09-100tr-966.webp) ![House-made desserts at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-10-5u2ue-966.webp) Everything looked so good that choosing was a happy dilemma :) ![Menu board at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-11-scscs-966.webp) ![Coffee bean choice notice at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-12-1fexr-966.webp) When you order coffee at Deokmi Atelier, you can pick one of three beans: the seasonal fruity bean with a bright fruity acidity, the nutty bean with deep, toasty nut flavor, or decaf, which you can switch to for free. It's nice to choose by your own taste. - Seasonal fruity: bright fruity acidity - Nutty: deep, toasty nut flavor - Decaf: free to switch ![Decorative props corner at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-13-12fqt-966.webp) ![Vintage interior at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-14-101o3-966.webp) ![Looking around inside Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-15-1brxz-m-966.webp) ![Interior decoration props at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-16-yk73n-m-966.webp) After ordering I looked around the café, and it's full of atmospheric props, so pretty! If you like cozy aesthetic cafés, you'll definitely love this place. ![Interior of Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch full of decorative props](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-17-iqy8w-966.webp) ![Photo-friendly space at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-18-qcpg3-966.webp) ![Menu items laid out on the table at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-19-1kln5-966.webp) ## How was the crème brûlée French toast? The crème brûlée French toast at Deokmi Atelier has its surface torched to make a crisp caramel layer, and it was the item I was most looking forward to on this visit. It looked really appetizing, with the top torched by hand to make that crackly crème brûlée caramel layer. ![Torched crème brûlée French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-20-5xs8u-966.webp) ![Crème brûlée French toast with caramel layer on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-21-1afpe-966.webp) The texture is great: slightly crisp outside and moist inside. The bread was soaked through nicely and the cream on top was smooth, and from the first bite I thought, so this is why it's famous as a Gwangalli French toast spot. If you usually like French toast, you really have to try this one! ![Crème brûlée French toast at Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-22-14zpm-966.webp) ### The fresh mango tiramisu we ordered with it The fresh mango tiramisu at Deokmi Atelier is a dessert topped generously with fresh mango, with cream and tiramisu layered inside. The fresh mango tiramisu we ordered alongside was really good too. Fresh mango was piled on top without holding back, and inside were layers of soft cream and tiramisu. The soft texture of tiramisu and the sweetness of the mango went together well, and I enjoyed it. ![Fresh mango tiramisu topped with fresh mango at Deokmi Atelier](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-23-15ahv-966.webp) ![Fresh mango tiramisu with layers of cream and tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe-24-1pgkv-966.webp) If you're looking for a good date café or a dessert café with a nice mood in Gwangalli, I hope you'll visit Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch! ## Where it is - Deokmi Atelier Gwang-an Branch (덕미 아틀리에 광안점) - 25 Gwangnam-ro 172beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea (1st floor) - 부산광역시 수영구 광남로172번길 25 1층 덕미 아틀리에 광안점 - 35.1564513, 129.120669 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%95%EB%AF%B8%20%EC%95%84%ED%8B%80%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%90%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EC%A0%90/@35.1564513,129.120669,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@plain-plate/gwangalli-creme-brulee-french-toast-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
