## In short

Cafe Neorae is a large mountain-view bakery café in Haksapyeong Kongkkot Village in Sokcho, Gangwon, with Ulsanbawi Rock filling the windows. After days of ocean views, the writer came for a mountain view and took a window seat with Neorae Pudding (bean-curd crunchy), Earl Grey Flower, and a chocolate croissant as the clouds lifted off the ridge. Close to Sokcho IC on the Donghae Expressway, Cafe Neorae makes an easy last stop before the drive back to Seoul.

I visited Cafe Neorae, a large café in Sokcho — and it turned out to be the most unforgettable healing spot on my recent trip to Sokcho, Gangwon.

## Parking and the building at Cafe Neorae in Sokcho

When you think of Sokcho, you usually picture the wide-open East Sea and the sound of crashing waves. That's how I planned this trip too, mostly around ocean-view restaurants and beachside cafés. But after staring at the sea until I'd had my fill, I suddenly found myself craving a grand, green mountain view instead.

So I headed to Cafe Neorae, a large café in Sokcho famous for offering a full view of Ulsanbawi, the massive rock formation that's a symbol of Seoraksan. It sits in Haksapyeong Kongkkot Village and is very close to Sokcho IC on the Donghae Expressway, so it's really easy to get to. There's also a big dedicated parking lot, so you can visit without any parking stress.

## Inside Cafe Neorae: seating and atmosphere on two floors

Cafe Neorae is a large bakery café that occupies the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. There's an elevator inside, so you don't have to worry about tired legs.

## Cafe Neorae menu and bakery counter

Cafe Neorae isn't just about the beautiful view — it's also a bakery spot where they bake a variety of bread and desserts in-house. There was a whole lineup of desserts and drinks, from the nutty Neorae Latte and roasted-bean-curd Neorae Tea to the signature Neorae Pudding.

## Ulsanbawi mountain view and interior at Cafe Neorae

Cafe Neorae really was a healing spot through and through — the green scenery had this way of easing eye strain and calming the mind.

You could tell the owner put a lot of care into the interior — the floors, walls, and ceilings weren't just left as bare concrete or thrown together with cheap finishes; everything was decorated beautifully.

The mountain view was gorgeous, wide open on every side with nothing blocking it. On the day I visited, the clouds were just starting to clear, so I got to take in a serene, almost mystical mountain scene.

## What we ordered: Neorae Pudding, Earl Grey Flower and choco croissant

I sat at a window-side table facing Ulsanbawi and took my time enjoying tea, pudding, and dessert. Cafe Neorae is known for the view, but honestly its desserts are just as much of a highlight.

![Scooping a spoonful of Neorae Pudding](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-mountain-view-cafe-neorae-pudding/sokcho-mountain-view-cafe-neorae-pudding-21-mc28h-900.webp)

The Neorae Pudding is made with soybean pulp, an ingredient that nods to the local character of Haksapyeong Kongkkot Village. Inside was fluffy bread, creamy pudding cream, and nutty bean-curd crunchy bits — all delicious together.

![Earl Grey Flower drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-mountain-view-cafe-neorae-pudding/sokcho-mountain-view-cafe-neorae-pudding-22-1070i-900.webp)

![Cafe Neorae's chocolate croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-mountain-view-cafe-neorae-pudding/sokcho-mountain-view-cafe-neorae-pudding-23-18ffa-900.webp)

The Earl Grey Flower had a subtle floral fragrance, and even though I don't usually drink Earl Grey, this was my favorite drink in a while. The chocolate croissant tasted like something I'd want to pack 100 of and bring home. I think I'll be back just for that croissant.

## Is Cafe Neorae a good last stop in Sokcho?

I visited Cafe Neorae, a large café in Sokcho, and it was the most satisfying large café I've been to in Sokcho recently. It's very close to Sokcho IC on the Donghae Expressway, making it a perfect final stop for some healing before heading back up to Seoul. If you want to leave Sokcho with one last good memory, definitely check out Cafe Neorae — you won't regret it. It was such a healing café in Sokcho.
