One of my favorite cafe discoveries so far! The pastries I tried were soft and fresh and delicious. I’m a coffee lover too and won’t go back if I can’t trust the quality/flavor to match the hype and aesthetic. Terarosa did not disappoint! Will defini...
Terarosa Coffee
I love A Twosome Place ❤️ I go at least twice a week. The coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is both casually aesthetic for socializing and calm for studying/working. The onion focaccia sandwich is my favorite food here!
A TWOSOME PLACE
I 🩷 cafe pomme! This cafe is french themed and is so quaint. It’s never overcrowded and has good music and a calm aesthetic. I go quite frequently and get the pistachio latte every time.
Café Pomme | 카페폼므 - 강릉카페
This cafe is gorgeous and elegant with a perfect view of the ocean. I got a delicious vanilla latte and sat for hours relaxing and looking at the water
Café Jenniel 카페제니엘 주문진점
This rainy themed cafe was something I tried from it trending on TikTok. The vibe and atmosphere is so calming and I enjoyed sitting in my corner for a while. I really enjoyed the black lemonade specialty drink I tried!
Rain Report Café Seoul
Ediya was my daily spot whenI first moved to Gangneung. I go to this gorgeous 2-story location to do my work prep. I love the vibe and how spacious it is; I never feel like anyone notices when I spend hours there. My fave items are the bagels and a c...
Ediya Coffee
I 💚 Coffee Sun cafe. They have a variety of Malenka cakes that I’ve fallen in love with and I always get a tea just for the aesthetic glass mugs. The music here is a vibe and there is plenty of seating.
Coffee Sun ☀️
(Disclaimer: I borrowed decor pics from Naver because mine didn’t do the cafe justice!) Café Franc is so so cute with all of the aesthetic French/European art! The themed cafes in Korea alone are inspiring but this one was homey and had personalized ...

By far the best western food I’ve had in Gangneung was at La Montagna. I split the Montagna Clásico sandwich and Alpesto pizza with a friend and we were raving over the flavor and quality the entire time we ate. It was evident that the bread/dough we...
La Montagna
I love going here and getting the ‘Bunpattybun’ burger with sweet potato fries 😋The building has such a nice summer vibe and it’s right near the beach!
BUNPATTYBUN
Walking into this American inspired burger spot I felt as if I had stepped out of Korea! I loved the music and decor and thought it all really cool. I recommend the Hot Shrimp Burger 🦐
피셔맨웍스 | FISHERMAN WORKS
This cafe was an accidental find but a great one. I get the steak sandwich and an iced matcha every time I go!
Black Forest Coffee
Eggdrop is a delicious, fast, protein-packed brunch/lunch option. I’ve gone a few times and love the beef teriyaki sandwich with hash browns! p.s. the matcha is not a main advertisement but I go just for the drink bc it is better than matcha at cafés...
Eggdrop Gangneung Gyo-dong
This is a consistent brunch/lunch spot within walking distance of my house. I consider it Korean Italian fusion because I get the bulgogi risotto and garlic bread every single time. So good! 🤩

Bread bread bread! Need I say more?
I will though… It took me a moment to be able to try this bread shop because the Korean locals were lined up down the street for weeks when it opened. It’s well worth the wait. I can just eat it straight up or toas...

This was my first street market experience in Korea! I love the many vendors and food options and how everything is so tasty and cheap :)
Gangneung Jungang Market (강릉 중앙시장)
This market was so big and incredible to experience! It’s near Jumunjin beach and you can buy items in the market and take it to local restaurants to be prepared for you. So cool!
