On a visit with her mom, the writer picked a milk pandoro for 6,500 won, olive ciabatta and an egg sandwich to go with coffee, then wrapped the leftover bread at the self-service packing station. With widely spaced seats and doors open until 2am on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, Barirus is an easy place to sit and talk for hours. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 245 Bongseosan-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Mon–Thu 10:00–21:00 / Fri, Sat, Sun and holidays 10:00–02:00 - **Milk pandoro**: 6,500 won - **Outdoor space**: 400-pyeong (about 1,322 sqm) lawn terrace - **Takeaway**: Leftover bread can be wrapped at the self-service packing station - **Price reference**: ₩6,500 ≈ $4.7 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Exterior of Barirus, a large bakery café in Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-01-4g97u-1200.webp) I stopped by Barirus with my mom during a day trip to Paju. There are lots of large cafés in Paju, but I wanted somewhere spacious where we could eat bread, drink coffee, and just take our time — and Barirus turned out to be so big and full of things to see that it was perfect for chatting with my mom for hours ~! It's a bakery café that's been featured on various shows, and I'd also recommend it to anyone looking for a late-night spot in Paju since it's open until the early morning. ## Where Barirus is in Paju and when it opens ![Barirus storefront entrance and signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-02-rt3lq-900.webp) Store info - Location: 245 Bongseosan-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2nd floor - Hours: Mon–Thu 10:00–21:00 - Fri, Sat, Sun / holidays 10:00–02:00 ## The giant sunset media photo zone at the entrance ![Giant sunset media photo zone at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-03-i2muq-900.webp) The first thing that caught my eye walking into Barirus was the massive sunset media photo zone. A sunset scene fills the whole screen, and the scale of it right at the entrance made for really pretty photos. ![Media photo zone screen showing a sunset scene](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-04-1dbwf-784.webp) ![Indoor space around the media photo zone at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-05-1a92m-900.webp) ![Spacious indoor seating on the second floor of Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-06-1119t-900.webp) ## Roomy seating and green views at Barirus The seats at Barirus are spaced pretty generously, which made it comfortable to sit with my mom and talk for a long time. Maybe because it's summer, but the green scenery outside the window was really lovely too 🌿 I imagine the view would have a totally different feel once the weather cools down in autumn. ![Window seat at Barirus overlooking green scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-07-1hf02-900.webp) ![Widely spaced table seating at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-08-33vf2-900.webp) ## The 400-pyeong lawn terrace Outside, Barirus has a lawn terrace that spans a whopping 400 pyeong. It gives off a glamping kind of vibe, and since it's an eco-friendly grass area, it's great for kids to run around in too. On a nice day, using both the indoor and outdoor spaces together makes for an even more relaxed visit. ![400-pyeong lawn terrace at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-09-6umnn-900.webp) ## Brunch, bakery and coffee on one menu Barirus has a pretty wide menu too. With brunch, bakery items, and coffee all available, it works whether you just want a light dessert or a full meal with coffee. Since it's a late-night café open into the early hours, it's also convenient to visit whenever you like, without worrying about time. ![Brunch and coffee menu board at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-10-y936k-900.webp) ![Drinks menu signage at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-11-ztsng-900.webp) ![Order counter at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-12-1o0ce-900.webp) ![Entrance to the bakery zone at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-13-oi5x8-900.webp) ## Inside the bakery zone: what breads are on the shelves When I went over to the bakery zone at Barirus, all kinds of bread were lined up on display. Looking through them one by one, there were so many types I couldn't decide what to pick. If you're a bread lover, just browsing the selection would already be fun. ![Various types of bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-14-15fuy-900.webp) ![Close-up of bread on the bakery display shelf at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-15-12k18-900.webp) ![Bread display at the handmade bakery corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-16-vf0ng-900.webp) ### A bakery café that bakes everything in house Barirus is a handmade bakery café, and they say they prepare a wide range of items — from croissants made with AOP butter, to breads made with handmade cream, to bakery menu items made with health in mind. ![Tray of bread selected at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-17-r50jf-900.webp) ![Bread and coffee set on a table](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-18-gakou-900.webp) ## Milk pandoro, 6,500 won The milk pandoro at Barirus costs ₩6,500, and even the cream inside is handmade, apparently. The soft bread and sweet cream went really well together, and it was great paired with coffee. ![Milk pandoro filled with handmade cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-19-1gj9r-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the milk pandoro cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-20-xhfby-900.webp) ## Olive ciabatta at Barirus I like plain, simple bread, so I also picked the olive ciabatta at Barirus. The chewy ciabatta with olives added made a nice combination when eaten alongside the sweeter breads. ![Ciabatta with olives baked in](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-21-1tw21-900.webp) ## The egg sandwich I also picked an egg sandwich, good for a light meal. It had soft egg inside, so it felt like a proper brunch item, and paired with bread and coffee it made for a decent meal too. ![Egg sandwich at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-22-17nk4-626.webp) ![Table set with bread and coffee together](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-23-5iadv-900.webp) ![Self-service packing station for leftover bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe-24-kjf0x-900.webp) ## Leftover bread? Wrap it at the self-service packing station If you have bread left over while eating at Barirus, you can use the self-service packing station to wrap it up. We also packed up our leftovers to eat again at home. And Barirus is open from 10am to 2am on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays! Since it's a late-night café that stays open into the early hours, it's a great spot whenever you feel like coffee or bakery items in Paju at a late hour. Visiting with my mom, the spacious layout and variety of seating made it easy to spend a relaxed afternoon together, and being able to enjoy both bread and brunch in one visit made it a satisfying trip. ## Where it is - Barirus (바리루스) - 245 Bongseosan-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2nd floor - 경기도 파주시 파주읍 봉서산로 245 2층 - 37.833184, 126.8035229 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%94%EB%A6%AC%EB%A3%A8%EC%8A%A4/@37.833184,126.8035229,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-weeknight-tables/paju-barirus-mom-bakery-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
