Stopping in midway through a trip, Baegya Coffee was fairly quiet, with room to spread out, plenty of bread to browse and its own parking. With a corn ice cream (oksigi) to finish, Baegya Coffee suits travelers who want a Gyeongpodae café without the crowds. ## Good to know - **Address**: 607 Haean-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State (floors 1–3) - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–21:00 - **Parking**: Available - **Size**: Large bakery café across floors 1–3 - **Memorable menu item**: Corn ice cream (oksigi) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Baegya Coffee, an ocean-view café near Gyeongpodae in Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-01-1oa6g-900.webp) > Gangneung ocean-view café near Gyeongpodae, Baegya Coffee > A large bakery café good for taking your time When traveling around Gangneung, you end up wanting not just good food but also a café where you can relax with an ocean view. On this trip I stopped by Baegya Coffee, right near Gyeongpodae. It's close to the sea and fairly large, so it was a great spot for a quick break during the trip. There's a wide range of breads, so you can enjoy coffee and bakery goods together, and parking is available too, which is convenient if you're touring Gangneung by car. ![Exterior of Baegya Coffee, close to the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-02-1gsec-900.webp) ## Where is Baegya Coffee, the large bakery café near Gyeongpodae? Baegya Coffee sits on Haean-ro right next to Gyeongpodae, making it easy to add to a Gangneung itinerary. Being close to the sea, it has that breezy feel, and being a large café, I could stay comfortably without feeling cramped. ![View of the large Gangneung bakery café](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-03-1h26p-900.webp) There are plenty of famous ocean-view cafés in Gangneung these days, but I personally prefer somewhere a bit quieter over crowded, busy spots — and Baegya Coffee fit the bill nicely. ![The quiet interior space of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-04-1e1uv-900.webp) ### Is there parking at Baegya Coffee? Having parking is a real plus! A lot of people travel around Gangneung by car, and it's stressful when a café has nowhere to park. Baegya Coffee has parking available, which made it easy to visit even with a car. ![Baegya Coffee, convenient for visiting by car](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-05-1x96q-900.webp) ## How wide is the bread selection at this Gangneung bakery café? The first thing I checked out inside was, of course, the bakery section. True to a Gangneung bakery café, there were all sorts of breads on display, and it was fun just browsing. ![Bakery corner with a wide variety of breads on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-06-1jch5-900.webp) ![Bread selection at the Baegya Coffee bakery display](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-07-yqywl-900.webp) For anyone who loves bread, there's so much variety it'd feel like a shame to leave with just coffee — plenty to pick from depending on your taste. Sightseeing by the sea in Gangneung plus tasty bread and coffee is honestly a full café experience on its own. ![Café time enjoyed with chosen bread and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-08-lk5ba-900.webp) With so many bread options, it took me a while to decide what to get, which was part of the fun. Next time I visit, I'd like to try the ones I missed this time. ## What is the atmosphere like at Baegya Coffee's ocean-view floors? One of the best things about Baegya Coffee was the atmosphere. You can't talk about Gangneung cafés without mentioning the sea view, and sitting back and looking out at the ocean turned out to be more healing than I expected. ![Ocean-view seating looking out at the sea through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-09-p0glp-900.webp) Traveling around and hitting multiple attractions can be surprisingly tiring, so stopping mid-trip for a coffee like this is nice. Baegya Coffee is on the larger side, so the space itself felt spacious, and it was fairly quiet when I visited, which made it even easier to relax. ![Relaxed indoor seating at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-10-1844v-900.webp) ![A café spot good for resting while looking out at the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-11-e3d3w-900.webp) It's a nice atmosphere for sitting and staring blankly at the sea, or for chatting with friends or family while traveling. So I think it'd suit not just people looking for a Gangneung ocean-view café, but also anyone wanting a Gyeongpodae café that isn't too crowded. ![Uncrowded atmosphere at this Gyeongpodae café](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-12-1o303-900.webp) ## How does the corn ice cream (oksigi) at Baegya Coffee taste? The menu item I remember most from Baegya Coffee is the corn ice cream (oksigi aiseukeurim). Gangneung is known for its corn, so I was curious and tried it — it was better than I expected. ![Corn ice cream at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-13-8d6y6-1200.webp) The nutty, sweet flavor typical of corn paired well with the ice cream, offering a different kind of appeal from the coffee. Personally, if you visit Baegya Coffee, I'd recommend trying the corn ice cream at least once. ![Corn ice cream enjoyed as dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-14-6ncyx-900.webp) It works well as a dessert after bread and coffee, and it's also good for when you're just craving something light and sweet. ## Is Baegya Coffee worth a mid-trip break in Gangneung?

If you're looking for a café near Gyeongpodae during a Gangneung trip, Baegya Coffee — a Gangneung ocean-view café where you can enjoy tasty bakery items along with sea views — seems like a solid choice. It'd suit you especially well if, rather than hopping between attractions nonstop, you enjoy pausing in the middle of a trip to sit and gaze at the sea. ![Ocean view near Gyeongpodae](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-18-nfg39-900.webp) ![Baegya Coffee, a stop on the Gangneung trip itinerary](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-19-1cap4-900.webp) If you're looking for a café near Gyeongpodae on your Gangneung trip itinerary, I recommend Baegya Coffee — a place to relax with tasty bread and even corn ice cream :) ## Where it is - Baegya Coffee (백야커피) - 607 Haean-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea (1st–3rd floor) - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 해안로 607 1~3층 - 37.8115563, 128.8990465 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%B1%EC%95%BC%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC/@37.8115563,128.8990465,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongsu-tin-counter/baegya-coffee-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
