# Haksapyeong café in Sokcho with a diaper-changing station: Cafe Neorae - By Iseul (https://superchart.com/en/@setting-down-chopsticks/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Sokcho, Gangwon - Sponsored: This article was written as a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@setting-down-chopsticks/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@setting-down-chopsticks/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/index.md) ## In short Cafe Neorae is a large bakery café in the Haksapyeong sundubu (soft tofu) village of Sokcho, Gangwon, occupying floors 2 and 3 of the same building as a sundubu restaurant. On a second visit, Cafe Neorae offered a forest view on a rainy, cloudy day, plus a 4th-floor rooftop, a bread counter and a diaper-changing station. Even on a day when Ulsanbawi rock stayed hidden, the forest view and high ceilings made Cafe Neorae a relaxing stop. ## Good to know - **Location**: 114 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho, Gangwon, 2F (same building as the sundubu restaurant) - **Floors used**: Indoor seating on floors 2–3, outdoor rooftop on floor 4 - **Parking**: Wide shared parking lot - **Amenities**: Diaper-changing station available - **Visit tip**: Come early rather than late afternoon to see the full bakery lineup *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![First photo from visiting Cafe Neorae in Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-01-dow5o-900.webp) Heading off on a trip to Sokcho, I spent a while wondering where I'd relax this time~~ then old memories started bubbling up and I ended up going back to Cafe Neorae in Sokcho. Last time I visited, the majestic Seoraksan mountain standing like a screen beyond the window left such a strong impression that this trip I naturally steered the car back this way! ![Exterior of the building Cafe Neorae shares with a sundubu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-02-1on7x-900.webp) ## Where is Cafe Neorae in Sokcho, and where do you park? Cafe Neorae in Sokcho is a large café sharing the 2nd and 3rd floors of a building with an already word-of-mouth-famous sundubu (soft tofu) restaurant. The address is 114 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho — inside the sundubu village, so it's easy to find. For anyone driving, parking is always the biggest worry. This place has a spacious shared parking lot, so even during peak times when traffic is jammed, you can park comfortably without needing to grab a waiting number! ![Selfie taken in front of a mirror at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-03-1fsm5-900.webp) Hehe, if there's a mirror, you've gotta take a selfie! Click, in a good mood!! Right behind it there's a pretty little patch of forest — Instagram folks could get some life-shot photos here~ ![Short forest walking path behind Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-04-1s2r7-900.webp) ![Forest-backdrop photo spot at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-05-mlkqa-900.webp) ## What is the inside of Cafe Neorae like? The interior of Cafe Neorae greets you calmly with warm wood materials and vintage red-brick interiors. Instead of feeling cold, it's full of a warm, cozy feeling, and I felt good the whole time I stayed there~~ Just sitting still feels healing~~ Not every seat has a view of Ulsanbawi rock, but almost all of them face the forest, so it's forest, forest, healing all around!! ![Cafe Neorae interior decorated with wood and red brick](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-06-19cjh-900.webp) ![Seating with a forest view at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-07-1xcz4-900.webp) ![Interior tables and window seats at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-08-17jos-900.webp) ### Floor-to-ceiling window seats and high ceilings The huge floor-to-ceiling windows stretching across the front of the space are the key point of Cafe Neorae! The ceilings are very high, so there's zero feeling of being cramped when you step inside, and the seating is designed so that wherever you sit, the green nature outside and the view of Ulsanbawi come in like a panorama at a glance. ![Large floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-09-1nm5n-900.webp) ![Interior view of Cafe Neorae with green nature visible through the windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-10-ma897-900.webp) ![View of the 2nd-floor seating area at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-11-sfi04-900.webp) ![Window seating with a panoramic view at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-12-epqy2-900.webp) ![Interior lighting and brick wall at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-13-ebyda-900.webp) ![Wide hall seating layout at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-14-fn12t-900.webp) ![Space leading up to the 3rd floor at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-15-1szdk-900.webp) ![Window table with a forest view at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-16-lek45-900.webp) ![Interior design details at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-17-imzzp-900.webp) ![Outdoor rooftop space on the 4th floor of Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-18-jm5r0-900.webp) ## Cafe Neorae's 4th-floor rooftop and bread counter Walking up to the 4th floor of the Cafe Neorae building, there's an outdoor rooftop space that opens up a wide view of the surrounding area. On a day with a gentle breeze and clear skies, it would be so nice to grab a spot on the rooftop and lie down to enjoy the ridgeline of Seoraksan! One reason I came back to Cafe Neorae in Sokcho was the fun of browsing and choosing from the colorful breads set out on the display stand. The breads looked so delicious!! There's even root-vegetable bread! ![Bread displayed on the stand at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-19-1sddp-900.webp) ![Root-vegetable bread on the bakery stand at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-20-1t4j1-1200.webp) ## What is the Ulsanbawi view like on a rainy day? Honestly, with the drizzling rain and cloudy weather, it was a bit hard to expect a clear, spectacular view of Ulsanbawi from Cafe Neorae. At first I was a little disappointed, but the overcast sky surprisingly turned into its own kind of dreamy escape. ![Forest scenery outside the window at Cafe Neorae on a rainy, cloudy day](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-21-1s7pl-900.webp) If my previous visit was remembered for the majesty of Ulsanbawi filling the whole view, this revisit was filled instead with the forest feeling and calm of a rainy day. Even the same place gives off a different mood every time depending on the weather and season, so there's never a chance to get tired of it, no matter how often you come! ![Calm interior atmosphere at Cafe Neorae on a cloudy day](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-22-r1jdn-900.webp) ## Tips for visiting Cafe Neorae with kids That said, if you want to see and taste all the fresh bakery items, I'd recommend hurrying over a bit earlier rather than coming in the late afternoon. ![Amenities space at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-23-fh87a-900.webp) And a diaper-changing station too — good!! ![Diaper-changing station in the restroom at Cafe Neorae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit-24-6w8aa-900.webp) Had a great time today too~~ ## Where it is - Cafe Neorae (카페너래) - 114 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho, Gangwon, South Korea, 2F - 강원특별자치도 속초시 원암학사평길 114 2F - 38.2062842, 128.5204745 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EB%84%88%EB%9E%98/@38.2062842,128.5204745,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@setting-down-chopsticks/cafe-naerae-sokcho-rooftop-revisit/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
