Spacious café in Jeonpo, Busan: latte & ade for two at Ibaba Coffee

I visited "Ibaba Coffee" (이바바커피), a brand-new café on the Jeonpo café street in Busan. I loved how open and airy it felt, haha. Let's head right in!

Ibaba Coffee location and opening hours

Ibaba Coffee is at 30 Jeonpo-daero 189beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan. It is open Tue–Sun 10:00–19:00 (last order 18:40) and closed every Monday. It's close to Jeonpo Station, so the location is pretty good!

Ibaba Coffee gives ₩1,500 off coffee drinks for takeout, with no extra charge for an added shot! If you love touring Jeonpo cafés, or you just love coffee, haha, I highly recommend it!

What is the atmosphere like at Ibaba Coffee?

The café is huge and the openness is no joke! It put me in a great mood. I went on a weekend afternoon, and honestly the space itself was healing! If you're looking for a dog-friendly café in Jeonpo, I heard dogs are allowed here, so keep that in mind, haha.

Overall, Ibaba Coffee is a roomy, modern Jeonpo café. Chatting with my friend here made the time fly! I'd also recommend it to people who like having coffee alone. I saw some solo visitors reading a book, hahaha. The vibe is so nice that it lifts your mood too.

That's the overall feel! Calm, yet relaxed.

Outlets, baby chair and speakers

There are cushioned seats like this too, haha. The power outlets are well provided, which was nice.

There's a baby chair too! And there are speakers, so the music comes through loud and clear, hahahaha.

Ibaba Coffee uses Grade 1A Maeil milk, so it's a place known for tasty lattes! Normally I only drink americanos, but since the latte is famous here, we ordered the Ibaba Latte too!

The nunettine looked yummy too, so we ordered it as well, hahaha.

You can choose basic, dark or white nunettine! We picked dark, haha.

Three drinks for two people: what did we order?

The two of us ordered a dark nunettine, an Ibaba Latte, an iced americano and a lychee grapefruit ade at Ibaba Coffee! Why three drinks? We normally order an americano and an ade, but the latte here is famous for being so good that we got curious, hahaha. We shared everything!

Ibaba Latte: smooth, nutty cream

First, the Ibaba Latte! When a Jeonpo café has a signature coffee like this, you've got to try it!! The cream is super smooth and nutty, and the coffee is smooth too, so it was really delicious. I don't like lattes that are just sweet, but this one was totally my taste!

Lychee grapefruit ade: rich and tangy

The lychee grapefruit ade is literally really rich and tangy, and drinking it when you're thirsty is so refreshing. Good, good.

Iced americano: nutty and clean

The americano has a nutty, deep flavor and a clean taste that anyone who likes coffee would enjoy, no divided opinions.

Dark nunettine: a great match with coffee

The dark nunettine is a chocolate-coated nunettine, hahaha. Eaten with coffee, it's a perfect pairing.

I hadn't been out to the café street for a while, and Ibaba Coffee, the new Jeonpo café, left me healed and recharged.
