Late-night Byeongjeom coffee bar open till 1am: Baiden Coffee Bar

I've been wondering where to find a good-vibe, good-coffee café in Byeongjeom, and finally made it to Baiden Coffee Bar, a place I'd had bookmarked for a while.

Where is Baiden Coffee Bar? Hours and parking

Baiden Coffee Bar is on the 1st floor of 45 Byeongjeom3-ro, Byeongjeom-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do. It's open weekdays 15:00–01:00, Saturdays 14:00–01:00, and Sundays 12:00–18:00, closed every Monday and Tuesday. I parked at the Hwaseong Dongbu Branch Office public parking lot!

A signless Byeongjeom coffee bar: the mood at 9pm

Baiden Coffee Bar has no sign outside, but it definitely has presence. I visited after 9pm this time, and the vibe was completely different from my earlier daytime visit.

A modern, black-toned interior

The interior is calm and modern in all black tones. A movie was playing on a projector, and the faint sound of dialogue (in English, so it doesn't distract, haha) actually made it easier to focus on our own conversation.

Baiden Coffee Bar menu: coffee with whiskey, and cocktails too

The menu at Baiden Coffee Bar

Turns out there's more than just coffee — whiskey and cocktails too. They even have coffee whiskey, so there's plenty of variety to try.

There were all kinds of beans on display, and picking one looked like half the fun. Here's what I ordered!

These are beans the owner roasts in-house. There were so many varieties I had to take a photo. I honestly can't even imagine how good the hand-drip coffee must be... and the whiskey selection was huge too! The bar table itself had a lot of character.

Behind the menu, there's a sign for 10% off with a receipt review, plus a free VIP membership program with 20% points back — that's a lot! Free coupons too. Owner, are you sure this is okay?! They also sell the beans.

How do the Baiden Cream einspänner and the malt taste?

Here it is — my life-changing coffee, and a sweet dessert on the side

One sip of the Baiden Cream and I was floored. It's an einspänner with soft cream sitting gently on a light drip coffee base. Clean and nutty, no heaviness at all. And then there's this smoky note — I don't know how else to describe it — that sneaks up at the very end like a little surprise. Wow, I've never had coffee like this in my life. Not even in Italy. Here I was thinking iced Americano was the only coffee that counted, and there's a place like this hiding in Byeongjeom. This is a spot where you can actually savor and feel coffee!!

The malt has a deeper flavor than a regular affogato, with the ice cream's mellow sweetness welcoming you in. Anyone who loves coffee is bound to love this.

Don't skip the tiramisu and French toast

The tiramisu is a dessert the owner makes by hand with care! Not overly sweet, and it's the perfect size to enjoy lightly on your own. But seriously, don't skip the French toast!! Crisp on the outside, soft and moist on the inside — it melts in your mouth. So, so good, I could cry.

Who will like Baiden Coffee Bar?

Baiden Coffee Bar is a Byeongjeom café that's great whether you want to work solo at your own pace or unwind with a partner or friend like it's your secret hideout. Both the taste and the atmosphere were so satisfying that I think I'll be back at Baiden Coffee Bar again soon!
