# Songjeong café with a downstairs tatami room: Suwolgyeonghwa, Busan - By Areum (https://superchart.com/en/@suseong-window-cup/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Haeundae, Busan - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@suseong-window-cup/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@suseong-window-cup/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/index.md) ## In short Suwolgyeonghwa is a Korean dessert and tea café overlooking the sea in Songjeong, Haeundae, Busan. Visiting with her husband and child, the writer ordered the signature Hojigabae, the Lemon Sunset premium tea and a Dalbodeurae dessert box, then found a shoes-off tatami floor room one level below the ordering floor on the 3rd floor. The pilotis lot on the building's 1st floor is free but fills up quickly, so Suwolgyeonghwa is best reached early in the day. ## Good to know - **Ordering floor**: 3rd floor, where the counter is - **Floor seating**: Shoes-off tatami room one floor down (2nd floor) - **What was ordered**: Hojigabae (signature), Lemon Sunset (premium tea collection), Dalbodeurae dessert box - **Dalbodeurae box contents**: Financier, black rice sulbbang, monaka, injeolmi (rice cake) skewers and more - **Parking**: Free pilotis parking on the building's 1st floor; when full, the paid Kakao lot across the street (no parking validation) - **Photo spot**: 'Ritual of Suwolgyeonghwa' moon installation at the entrance *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Main photo of Suwolgyeonghwa, a café in Songjeong, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-01-1ur4r-1200.webp) This is Habbamom, back with a relaxed café outing in Songjeong, Busan, with my husband and our pretty Hasol. ![Interior view of Suwolgyeonghwa overlooking Songjeong beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-02-u65qy-966.webp) ![Table at Suwolgyeonghwa set with Korean-style desserts and tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-03-fe14q-966.webp) What's really appealing about this place is that instead of the usual coffee, you get colorful Korean-style desserts and fragrant teas that are a treat for both the eyes and the mouth. ![View of Songjeong beach from a window seat at Suwolgyeonghwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-04-1fa7y-966.webp) You can even snap a life-shot with the cute beach train passing by through the round window in the background, ![The beach train passing by through a round window](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-05-v6jai-966.webp) so if you're planning a trip to Busan, this is a must-stop course, no question. ![Photo taken at the window seat at Suwolgyeonghwa with an ocean view](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-06-1qiim-966.webp) ## The moon photo spot at the Suwolgyeonghwa entrance The moment we stepped into the entrance of Suwolgyeonghwa, we ran into a photo zone called 'Ritual of Suwolgyeonghwa,' and it was genuinely mysterious. ![Entrance photo zone, 'Ritual of Suwolgyeonghwa'](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-07-2ilxq-966.webp) A round moon model glowing bright under blue lighting created such a dreamlike mood that my husband, Hasol, and I stood there admiring it for quite a while. ![Round moon model glowing under blue lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-08-14kyr-m-966.webp) Right from the entrance, it felt like stepping into a different world somehow. ![Wide view of the entrance photo zone at Suwolgyeonghwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-09-sb39k-966.webp) ## How the Hojigabae, Lemon Sunset and Dalbodeurae box taste We sat at a table with a full ocean view and tasted what we'd ordered — the visuals alone made us gasp. My husband picked the Hojigabae, the café's signature drink, while I chose Lemon Sunset, one of the premium tea collection. ![A cup of the signature Hojigabae at Suwolgyeonghwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-10-2f0s3-966.webp) ![A cup of Lemon Sunset from the premium tea collection](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-11-slqpx-966.webp) My husband took one sip of the Hojigabae and raved about how smooth and nutty the cream was. ![Close-up of the Hojigabae topped with cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-12-14uod-966.webp) My Lemon Sunset captured a beautiful red seaside sunset painted by hibiscus, right there in the color of the tea — lemony brightness and sweetness swirling together in perfect harmony, an absolute mood-lifter. Oh! And the 'Dalbodeurae box' we ordered alongside it was a work of art! Served in a gorgeous box, the Dalbodeurae set came packed with financier, black rice sulbbang, monaka, injeolmi (sweet rice cake) skewers, and more — ![The Dalbodeurae dessert box served in its box](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-13-byvx2-966.webp) a whole spread of Korean-style desserts, so it felt like a treat for both the eyes and the mouth at once. Getting to enjoy traditional Korean desserts in such an elevated way was such a joy. ![Dessert spread with financier and injeolmi skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-14-pw2tz-966.webp) ## Where is the tatami floor room at Suwolgyeonghwa? Now let me finally reveal the super tip I've been saving! The biggest reason Suwolgyeonghwa is so special is the fairy-tale-like view that unfolds through the round traditional windows. ![A round traditional window and the view outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-15-1ssw7-966.webp) ![Songjeong beach and the beach train seen through the round window](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-16-gk1tu-966.webp) But I noticed many visitors order on the 3rd floor, where the counter is, and just stay there. We followed the stairs down to the 2nd floor instead, and wow — there was a shoes-off tatami floor seating room down there! ![Shoes-off tatami floor seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-17-1r7tm-966.webp) ## Parking at Suwolgyeonghwa: free pilotis lot on the 1st floor Parking is probably the biggest worry for anyone driving in. ![Exterior of the Suwolgyeonghwa building and the parking entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-18-1pjsd-966.webp) There's a pilotis parking lot on the building's 1st floor, so we could park comfortably for free. But by the time we were leaving, it was so popular that it had filled up and we had to double-park. ![Cars filling the 1st-floor pilotis parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-19-1q7yy-966.webp) If the 1st floor is full, you'll need to use the paid Kakao parking lot across the street, and there's no parking support for that, so I really recommend visiting early to save yourself the stress! ![View of the alley in front of the Suwolgyeonghwa building](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-20-1ktz3-966.webp) ![A final photo wrapping up the visit to Suwolgyeonghwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking-21-1nag8-966.webp) ## Where it is - Suwolgyeonghwa (수월경화) - 188 4F, Songjeong-jungang-ro 6beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 해운대구 송정중앙로6번길 188 4층 - 35.1761111, 129.1965736 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%98%EC%9B%94%EA%B2%BD%ED%99%94/@35.1761111,129.1965736,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@suseong-window-cup/songjeong-cafe-tatami-seating-free-parking/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
