Too full for pastries, the writer ordered only an americano, a café latte and a butterscotch shot latte, then walked the first, second and third floors up to the rooftop, where every window framed the sea. With its own parking lot, an elevator and a no-kids-zone policy that keeps things quiet, Baegya Coffee makes an easy Gangneung date-course café. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–21:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: Baegya Coffee's own lot (left side of the building) - **Size**: Floors 1–4, rooftop and sky stairs - **Entry policy**: No-kids-zone - **Ordered**: Americano, café latte, butterscotch shot latte *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* I went on a trip to Gangneung, Gangwon! You know you've got to grab a coffee near Gyeongpodae when you're in Gangneung, right? If you're planning a Gangneung date course or just can't decide where to go for coffee, I recommend Baegya Coffee! The sea view sets the mood from the start, and being such a large café it felt spacious and comfortable. Shall we take a look together?? ![Main photo of Baegya Coffee, an ocean-view café near Gyeongpodae in Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-01-nq86h-1200.webp) ## Baegya Coffee hours and location in Gangneung Baegya Coffee is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00, with last order at 20:30. It sits on Haean-ro in Gangneung, so it's close to Gyeongpodae too. > Daily 09:00–21:00 / Last order 20:30 ![Wide image showing Baegya Coffee's business hours notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-02-gpf48-966.webp) It's close to Gyeongpodae, and also super near other famous Gangneung spots like the beach and Seamarq Hotel's Gyeongpo Lake, which was great. ![Scenery around Baegya Coffee on Haean-ro in Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-03-14ep5-900.webp) ## Where to park at Baegya Coffee I arrived at Baegya Coffee! Being such a large bakery café in Gangneung, it had an ocean view of course, and was also easy to find. Head to the left and there's Baegya Coffee's own parking lot, so no need to worry about parking at all! ![Baegya Coffee's building exterior and the direction to its own parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-04-cfkvo-900.webp) ## First-floor seating and atmosphere at Baegya Coffee Baegya Coffee's 1st floor is an open-plan space with the order counter and seating together. I walked into Baegya Coffee! Right as you enter, you can see the whole open-layout café. ![Open-plan interior view of Baegya Coffee's 1st floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-05-a5l7b-900.webp) The café is big and nice, and it felt so clean too. ![Spacious and clean interior of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-06-14fyi-900.webp) There were also plenty of tables and seats on the 1st floor, so you could sit comfortably and enjoy your drink. ![Tables and seating on Baegya Coffee's 1st floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-07-1q32z-900.webp) The 1st-floor vibe has the counter where you order coffee, along with a view of the sea while you're there! ![Order counter on Baegya Coffee's 1st floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-08-1ym8j-900.webp) ## Is there an elevator, and is Baegya Coffee a no-kids-zone? Baegya Coffee has an elevator and operates as a no-kids-zone. With the elevator, it seemed like a great place for visitors with mobility issues or families to visit. ![Elevator inside Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-09-1tkw3-900.webp) And because it's a no-kids-zone, the inside of the café was really quiet and nice! If you're coming with kids, you might want to check ahead. There are four floors in total, with a rooftop and sky stairs where you can really take in the ocean view! ![Sky stairs leading up to Baegya Coffee's rooftop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-10-eaf56-900.webp) You can also go up by the stairs! ![Staircase leading to the upper floors of Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-11-134ah-900.webp) ## What are the ocean views like on the second and third floors? Baegya Coffee's 2nd floor is where the sea is fully visible right through the windows. I visited the 2nd floor! Gangneung ocean-view café, amazing, right? The sea shows through the windows so clearly that everyone was busy taking photos. The café's atmosphere is honestly a total pass! If you're looking for a good-vibe café in Gangneung, I highly recommend it! ![Ocean view from the windows of Baegya Coffee's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-12-1yq7l-900.webp) This is the 3rd-floor vibe! Same ocean view here too! The chairs and tables have wide spacing and are so comfortable, it's the best! ![Widely spaced seating on Baegya Coffee's 3rd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-13-1ehe2-900.webp) The café is overall clean and quiet, so if you can't decide where to go near Gyeongpodae, come check it out! Perfect for a couple's date! ![Wide photo of Baegya Coffee's quiet interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-14-10ccc-900.webp) ## The three drinks: americano, café latte and butterscotch shot latte Shall we order then? Baegya Coffee, a Gyeongpodae ocean-view café, sells coffee, ades, and various dessert menus like cream ice cream too. I ordered an americano, a café latte, and a butterscotch shot latte! ![Ordered americano, café latte, and butterscotch shot latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-15-1bcd7-900.webp) ## What's in Baegya Coffee's bakery case? Also, since Baegya Coffee is a coffee-and-bakery café, you get the ocean view plus quite an impressive bakery selection. ![Bakery display case at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-16-15ch8-900.webp) They use Adamance puree, a premium French brand made from 100% pure fruit. A lot of the bread had already sold out too! ![Bread display with gaps from strong sales](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-17-j6668-900.webp) The bakery items were well individually packaged, which felt clean and nice! ![Individually packaged bakery items stored at Baegya Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-18-1bgr1-900.webp) If you want your coffee with a cake or some bread, come check it out! ![Bread and cake display to pair with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-19-c0gwy-900.webp) There were also plenty of pizza-style breads like sandwiches, really nice! ![Display of sandwiches and pizza-style breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-20-1y50b-900.webp) There was a good variety of whole cakes and cake slices too! I was way too full, so I'll have to save the cake and bakery items for next time... ![Showcase of various cake slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-21-jjojm-900.webp) ## The sea from Baegya Coffee's fourth-floor rooftop I went up and found a seat! Drinking coffee while looking at the sea felt so good?? The sound of the waves, it's been a while since I visited an ocean-view café like this! ![View of the Gangneung sea from Baegya Coffee's rooftop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya/gangneung-gyeongpodae-ocean-view-cafe-baekya-22-1u92a-900.webp) Coming up to the rooftop, all that pent-up feeling just clears right out...! I got a proper look at the ocean view in Gangneung, and being such a large bakery café, it seemed great for group visits too. If you still haven't decided where to go for coffee in Gangneung, I recommend this place!
