About
Cozy cafe facing the Uicheon stream in Suyu, known for freshly baked homemade walnut pies and quiet riverside views.
Set directly across from the verdant walking paths of Ui-cheon stream in Suyu-dong, Nakgwayusu Bonjeom offers a calm, neighborhood retreat away from the district's busier thoroughfares. Morning walkers and local families gravitate here for its floor-to-ceiling streetscape views, where spring forsythia, cherry blossoms, and lush greenery frame the seating area. Inside, the sunlit cafe leans into an unhurried, vintage domesticity accented by warm lighting, bookshelves, an old piano, and a classic sewing machine, with spacious tables arranged to give guests breathing room. The cafe’s signature specialty is its house-made walnut pie, baked with a crisp, buttery crust and a dense, nutty filling that intentionally dials back the sweetness to let the walnuts take center stage. Pre-portioned into neat slices, it pairs naturally with the house-roasted coffee program. The beverage menu includes layered cream classics like velvety einspänners and Vienna lattes, alongside fruit-forward drinks favored by strolling locals, such as fresh strawberry latte and seasonal watermelon juice. The counter also stocks boxes of pure, unadulterated Mungyeong apple juice pouches, a hit with parents bringing young children in after weekend walks along the stream. During warmer months, the classic bingsu (옛날팥빙수) draws patrons seeking vintage flavors over modern snow-ice styles. Served in a generous portion built for sharing, it layers finely crushed traditional shaved ice with lightly sweetened, whole-cooked red beans and a dense dusting of nutty roasted soybean powder (injeolmi konggaru). Opening daily at 7:30 AM without dedicated customer parking, it serves as an accessible dawn-to-dusk neighborhood fixture for those wandering the riverside trail.
