Jeju airport café for lattes and financiers: Gluttony Coffee

On the first day of our Jeju trip, after arriving at the airport and before properly heading out, we were looking for a café where we could rest with a cup of coffee, so we visited Gluttony Coffee! I looked it up and found that the lattes here are famous, and they have such a huge variety of desserts too, from financiers and Levain cookies to cake! I thought, this is the one, and went for it haha.

I think it would also be a good choice for anyone looking for a café near Jeju Airport with lots of different desserts :)

Gluttony Coffee location and parking

Gluttony Coffee 1F, 38 Gunam-ro 2-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea Hours: 11:00–20:00 Last order: 19:30

It is not too far from Jeju Airport, so it was a nice stop on our first day after arriving in Jeju. There is also a public parking lot nearby, which made it pretty convenient when getting around in a rental car!

Gluttony Coffee has the feel of a stylish café that has settled naturally into a Jeju neighborhood, and that was another part of its charm haha. It seemed like there were lots of regulars too! The interior was clean but had a cool vibe. It was not overly hectic, so it was a great place to rest over coffee and dessert :)

I think it would be a nice option among cafés near Jeju Airport for anyone who wants a quiet cup of coffee. The weather was lovely, so we grabbed a seat outside haha.

Desserts chosen, from financiers to cake

There was such a wide selection, from financiers and Levain cookies to canelés, Mont Blanc, and cake, that we spent ages wondering what to have,, And there were not just one or two kinds of financier; there were several flavors, which made choosing them fun haha.

After much deliberation, we ordered an iced Gluttony Latte, an iced cream latte, chocolate cake, and plain / chocolate / salted caramel financiers! Looking at it now, we basically ate a whole meal at the café lol haha. But with so many desserts, it was hard to choose just one,, haha.

Gluttony Latte and cream latte

First, the iced Gluttony Latte! It is Gluttony Coffee's signature menu item, so I definitely wanted to try it. When a latte is too sweet or heavy, it can feel like a lot alongside dessert, but this was more balanced than I expected. It was smooth and nutty, so it paired nicely with the financiers :) Even my coffee-savvy friend approved haha.

And then, the cream latte, which looked amazing from the start! It came with a generous topping of cream, so it was a treat for the eyes right away. Drinking the smooth cream with the coffee made it even nuttier and silkier. There was plenty of cream, so it was nice to try drinking the cream and coffee together first, then gradually mix it in haha. Each had such different charms that it would be hard to choose only one.

Rich chocolate cake and financiers

And the chocolate cake! It had the dense, fudgy texture I love in a chocolate cake.

Rather than a fluffy chocolate-bread style, it was dense and full of deep chocolate flavor! You could really tell it was fudgy from the moment the fork cut through it haha. If you love chocolate, I think this is worth trying! A bite followed by a sip of latte was such a good combination,, Since the cake itself was quite rich, it went even better with coffee.

One dessert did not feel like enough, so we picked three financiers too lol: plain, chocolate, and salted caramel! Since the plain one was the classic, it was great for tasting the buttery flavor, and it paired easily with coffee.

They were easy to eat a bite at a time, so I kept reaching for them while drinking my latte haha. The salted caramel financier had a sweet caramel note with a little saltiness, so it was nice that it was not just intensely sweet.

If you like financiers, I recommend choosing several rather than only one and sharing them together :) They were all so delicious 🥹

A great café stop on the first day of a Jeju trip

Jeju has lots of big cafés with ocean views, but Gluttony Coffee had a different kind of feel. Rather than a flashy ocean view, it is a place to visit when you want to focus on coffee and dessert! In particular, there were so many desserts that people like me, who take choosing dessert more seriously than choosing a drink at a café, would probably love it lol.

The lush green view was so lovely too!! We visited on the first day of our Jeju trip, and it was nice to begin the trip slowly with delicious coffee and dessert :) I think it would be a good place to visit at the end of a trip too!
