We checked out both the floor-to-ceiling window lounge chairs and the outdoor terrace, and tried an iced Americano, apple ade, and a chocolate Basque cheesecake aged 16 hours in the fridge. A great forest-view café to stop at on a drive near Seoul. ## Good to know - **Address**: 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–24:00 - **Parking**: Available - **Ordered**: Iced Americano, apple ade, chocolate Basque cheesecake - **Coffee beans**: Specialty beans, 4-bean after-blend - **Dessert**: House-made Basque cheesecake, chilled and aged 16 hours *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Main image of Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-01-mp3mc-1200.webp) Today's post is about Forerest, a café with a relaxed atmosphere that's great for lingering over coffee and dessert with good conversation. Starting this post on Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu where you can enjoy a coffee break right in the middle of the forest. ## Location and hours for Forerest in Uijeongbu - Address: 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:00–24:00 - Parking: Available ![Exterior of Forerest café on Nogyang-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-02-yqtxf-900.webp) I visited Forerest, a large café in Uijeongbu, while looking for a place to rest for a bit amid the repetitive daily grind — and true to its name, Forerest ('for a rest'), it really suited its purpose as a space for a brief escape. ![Indoor table area at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-03-ulmpq-900.webp) ![Spacious seating inside Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-04-6y7ck-900.webp) ![Forerest hall, suitable for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-05-qs1o3-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere of Forerest café](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-06-1bogz-900.webp) ## Floor-to-ceiling windows and forest views inside — what seating is available Inside, there are various tables and spaces, so it's good for visiting with friends or spending time with a partner, and there's plenty of room for group gatherings too. ![Forerest interior with green scenery through floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-07-1qp0s-885.webp) The vibe is a bit different from the cafés you'd typically see in the city — once you step inside, green scenery unfolds beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the space is designed for a relaxed stay. By the windows are comfortable green lounge chairs; sitting there and looking out, you almost feel like you've stepped into a forest. ![Green lounge chair seating by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-08-fy16l-900.webp) ![Window seat with a forest view](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-09-1qk0m-m-735.webp) The interior decor pieces hanging around each space added even more to Forerest's own particular atmosphere. ![Interior decor pieces at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-10-1a8sd-887.webp) ![Space at Forerest with decorative interior items](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-11-jpxkc-900.webp) ## Forest vibes on the outdoor terrace I liked that Forerest has plenty of outdoor space as well as indoor seating. On a nice day, you can sit outside and sip coffee while looking at the green scenery, and it feels like a different, relaxed forest mood from indoors — proper healing, honestly. ![Green scenery at Forerest's outdoor space](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-12-107i1-900.webp) Sunlight filters through the leaves, making the green look even more vivid — the café doesn't need flashy decor when nature itself sets the mood. ![Outdoor seating with sunlight filtering through leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-13-ylaa1-900.webp) There's decent space between the tables too, so you can sit without feeling cramped, and blended with the green scenery around you, it felt like a brief escape from the city. ![Spaced-out outdoor tables at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-14-15gj4-900.webp) With green all around, just sitting there made me feel a lot more at ease. Sitting at the outdoor tables especially, with the trees and plants right up close, I could really feel like I was drinking coffee in the middle of a forest. ![Outdoor table seating surrounded by trees and plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-15-1gm1r-900.webp) ## What we ordered: iced Americano, apple ade, chocolate Basque The menu includes the signature Basque cheesecake along with coffee, non-coffee drinks, and tea. - Iced Americano - Apple ade - Chocolate Basque cheesecake ![Iced Americano and dessert at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-16-1knxb-900.webp) Forerest uses a blend of specialty beans, after-blending four different beans to balance the flavor, they say. Maybe that's why the Americano paired so well with the sweet cake when I had them together. ![A glass of apple ade at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-17-4isoh-900.webp) The apple ade was sweet and refreshing, easy to drink lightly. It has a different feel from the Americano, so ordering both to share between two people sounds like a good idea. ![Chocolate Basque cheesecake at Forerest](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-18-sz19p-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the dense chocolate Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque-19-axte2-900.webp) ### The dense chocolate Basque cheesecake At Forerest, the Basque cheesecake is house-made and sold after being chilled and aged for 16 hours; the deep sweetness of the chocolate paired well with the dense, soft texture typical of Basque cheesecake. ## To sum up - A great-atmosphere café with an appealing forest view - Spacious, relaxed layout - Good for enjoying coffee, drinks, and dessert together - Recommended for a date or a weekend café outing - The chocolate Basque cheesecake was a satisfying dessert ## Where it is - Forerest (포어레스트) - 181 Nogyang-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 녹양로 181 포어레스트 - 37.7673048, 127.0340576 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%AC%EC%96%B4%EB%A0%88%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8/@37.7673048,127.0340576,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@slow-cup-gyeonggi/uijeongbu-forest-cafe-outdoor-terrace-choco-basque/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
