Before heading back to the parking lot from Oedolgae (a famous rock formation in Seogwipo), I stopped by a cafe for a bit. Walking a little further along Oedolgae Park, a flower garden appeared, followed by the cafe. I grabbed a seat because the garden was so pretty, rather than for the coffee itself. I don't know who the owner is, but it feels like they built the cafe just because the garden felt a bit empty without it. The garden is definitely the main attraction here, not the cafe.

That said, the inside of the cafe isn't boring, either. The owner must love antique and botanical furniture and teacups, as they are displayed on one side like a museum. It feels more like visiting a museum or an arboretum than a cafe. It actually reminds me of the vibe right in front of the Botanic Gardens when I visited Sydney. The other spaces aren't ordinary, either. The sculptures and paintings all look like real works of art. Though I'd have nothing to say if it turns out they're all Made in China...

The coffee prices are incredibly high. Everything is so expensive that it actually makes it hard to choose what to order. I bet a lot of people walk in because the place is pretty, only to turn right back around after seeing the prices.

Below are photos of 60 Beans' pride and joy: the garden. I didn't even photograph everything, just a few spots, but I still ended up with a ton of pictures. There are especially a lot of sculptures that kids would love, making it the perfect garden for a hand-in-hand stroll with a child.
