I tried Ethiopian hand-drip coffee, a café latte, and red velvet cheesecake, then walked the pretty trail nearby. Verdict: a lovely pick for an anniversary date or a special coffee outing. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Parking lot available - **Coffee selection**: Reportedly 18 kinds of hand-drip coffee - **Operation**: Also operates Korea's first coffee museum - **Closed days**: Open year-round *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## A stately classic café by the Bukhangang River This was somewhere I’d saved ages ago with a “must visit someday” note~ It feels completely different from the newly opened cafés popping up lately—more weighty, truly famous, and established. It’s perfect for a drive, with the triple combination of classical style, coffee, and river views all properly in place. They also operate Korea’s first coffee museum. ![Waltz and Dr. Mahn café exterior by the Bukhangang River](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-01-1cqsq-900.webp) ![Exterior of a Bukhangang riverside café in Namyangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-02-1h93z-900.webp) The atmosphere was wonderful from the outside, and the parking lot was well set up, which was convenient. Even the drive there was sooo pretty, like heading off on a trip. Mul-ui Jeongwon is nearby too, so I think it would be nice to visit both. ![Road leading to Waltz and Dr. Mahn](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-03-1yhtb-900.webp) ![Café exterior and scenery around the parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-04-u5bdg-900.webp) ![Exterior of a café building by the Bukhangang River](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-05-1ub73-900.webp) ![Outdoor space at Waltz and Dr. Mahn](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-06-imuw3-900.webp) ![Scenery along the driving road near the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-07-78mpf-900.webp) ![Scenery on the way to a Bukhangang riverside café](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-08-b7l84-900.webp) ## An interior that feels like an invitation to an upscale villa Once inside, the atmosphere was so luxurious—it felt like being invited to an upscale American villa, maybe? There were lots of beautiful fine teacups, and the staff in black vests were wonderfully polite as they served us and explained everything~! I also totally loved the tables with tablecloths. You hardly find places like this these days, right? It was so nice for a change. ![Classic café interior and tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-09-1c8xo-900.webp) ## Eighteen hand-drip coffees and what we ordered Here’s the menu~~! There are reaaally so many choices. I noticed plenty of items you wouldn’t easily find at a regular café. They’re known for hand-drip coffee and reportedly have a whopping 18 kinds~! It feels like such a professional place, haha. After thinking it over, we ordered a café latte and Ethiopian coffee, plus red velvet cheesecake because I was craving something sweet. A lot of people were having the Chevalier? drink. It seemed to be a signature menu item, so I considered it, but I’ll order it next time haha. It had ice cream and macarons too, like a parfait, so I absolutely have to try that next time haha. Being here reminded me so much of traveling in Europe. At some of the cafés I visited there, dignified staff would explain things professionally, and it felt so lovely to be looked after—and it was like that here too haha. The staff member who took our order and the one who brought the coffee were different people, yet each served the exact drinks and menu items we had ordered, with explanations too. It made me realize how much those details matter. ![Menu at Waltz and Dr. Mahn](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-10-1w9wm-900.webp) ![Menu with a variety of coffee options](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-11-1n634-900.webp) ### Ethiopian hand-drip coffee Our order arrived~! This is the Ethiopian hand-drip coffee. They served it with a little pamphlet explaining the coffee, and aren’t the coffee cups sooo pretty?!! I seriously felt like a princess in Bridgerton!!! ![Ethiopian hand-drip coffee with an information pamphlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-12-1y06o-900.webp) ### The café latte that exceeded expectations I ordered the café latte without expecting much, but the coffee really tasted different. It had a distinct, nutty coffee flavor—truly different. I think I’ll order the café latte again next time. The coffee cup was totally my taste, seriously.. They also brought syrup in case we needed it, and the care and explanations? No words needed.. ![Café latte served with syrup](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-13-1i9do-900.webp) ### Red velvet cheesecake in a shape I’d never seen And the red velvet cheesecake.. I’ve had red velvet cheesecake at lots of cafés, but I’d never seen it in this shape, so I was curious about the taste. It was delicious, with a cheesy aroma and a soft egg-like fragrance, and the ice cream served alongside it was so sweet and pretty to look at too. !! ![Red velvet cheesecake and ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-14-zazwt-900.webp) ## Why it made me think of anniversaries and outings with parents I think I’d be so happy to be proposed to somewhere like this, and you’d probably get compliments for bringing your parents here too! There seemed to be plenty of older guests, and everyone either looked peaceful or was smiling. It made me think, this café really is a wonderful place. I want to express it better, but sorry, my vocabulary falls short hahaha. It’s just the kind of place that makes you smile.. It’s apparently a Baeknyeon Gage (Hundred-Year Store), and I can understand why. Oh, and Baeknyeon Gage doesn’t mean the place is actually 100 years old; it refers to businesses that have maintained their legacy for more than 30 years, remained loved, and been recognized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. ![Classic space at Waltz and Dr. Mahn](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-15-r7bfy-900.webp) ![Interior of a Baeknyeon Gage café](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-16-1v4ts-900.webp) ## A lovely walking trail around the café after coffee The walking trail around the café was so pretty too. Even the path itself had an upscale feel, making it great for a stroll after coffee. There must be a reason this place always comes up as a top choice when planning a Namyangju date course. ![Walking trail near a Bukhangang riverside café](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-17-z19ou-1200.webp) ![Café walking path that is lovely after coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-18-1yk84-900.webp) ![Walking scenery around Waltz and Dr. Mahn](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-19-e4896-900.webp) ![Walking trail on a Namyangju date course](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-20-ujkt2-900.webp) ![Path near a Bukhangang river-view café](https://img.superchart.com/images/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman-21-12xkj-900.webp) With river views, a classic atmosphere, delicious coffee, and even course meals, Waltz and Dr. Mahn is a large Namyangju café that seems perfect for anniversaries, proposals, or an outing with your parents! Being open year-round is such a plus from a guest’s point of view too :) ## Where it is - Waltz and Dr. Mahn (왈츠와 닥터만) (왈츠와 닥터만) - 856-37 Bukhangang-ro, Joan-myeon, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 남양주시 조안면 북한강로 856-37 - 37.5917958, 127.3382976 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%99%88%EC%B8%A0%EC%99%80%20%EB%8B%A5%ED%84%B0%EB%A7%8C/@37.5917958,127.3382976,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@through-restaurant-doors-3/namyangju-riverside-coffee-waltz-doctorman/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
