Cafe Rooftop – Cafe by the beach (How to go and what to expect)

2022 UPDATE

I was able to explore more of the Cheongsapo area! Was supposed to ride the new sky capsule in Busan but didn’t know you need to reserve slots early. Hopefully, I can go back one day so I can write about it.

After going around Cheongsapo Daritol Skywalk, I wanted to get some coffee and since we were already in the area I told my mom let’s head back to Cafe Rooftop. It was THE BEST decision ever.

The sign for Cafe Rooftop is still there, it’s not hard to find
still on the 4th floor

their counter changed
Their menu changed as well! No more 1 drink per person rule
no one😍 we kinda had the place by ourselves , the couple who sat next to us decided to go to the floor above
I got iced americano while my mom got hot!
we also ordered a croffle!! it was my first ever croffle and it was so good🥹
Thank you to the cute barista also for giving us an ice cream for our order🫰🏻
perfect place if you need to take it slow

I don’t recall how I was able to stumble upon this cafe but I glad I did.

Cafe rooftop was far from everything – it probably took us a good 45 minutes to an hour to get here (from Shinsegae Department Store).

We took the subway and rode a bus to reach Cafe Rooftop.

How to go to Cafe Rooftop:
(note: we came from Shinsegae Department Store)

Ride the subway and get down at Jangsan Station exit 5

As soon as you get out, you’ll see a bus stop in front of you

for those who can’t read Korean, at least keep an eye out for the “2”

We went down a stop earlier but you can reach Cafe Rooftop by staying until the end of the bus stop so you’ll walking distance will be shorter.

see the green bus on the right? that’s where you’ll get down if you sit until the last stop
IMG_3533
it’s actually across “Cafe’s”
IMG_3534
so coming from the last stop of 해운대 2 bus face right and walk straight
IMG_3535
keep on walking straight (walk on the left side of the road)

you’ll see this sign on your left

You’ll be given a buzzer that will ring once your food has arrived!

it tastes as good as it looks!!!

We had only a few hours to enjoy the place before we head back to catch our train back to Seoul.

I noticed there was a lighthouse near Cafe Rooftop! I wanted to go there but we didn’t have enough time, hopefully, I can come back here and explore that area.
