After having a bowl of meat noodles for brunch, I wanted to chat over a cup of coffee, so I headed to a cafe with an ocean view. There are plenty of cafes near Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock), but I decided on Antoinette, a place I'd been wanting to visit for a while. Fortunately, there were only a few cars in the parking lot, probably because we got there right after it opened. The Yongduam area is so popular that parking is usually a real hassle.

The great thing about Antoinette Cafe is that you can constantly watch planes landing at the airport and enjoy the view of Yongduam from the warm indoors. Because of these perks unique to this area, it's a great spot to visit right after landing or to stop by and gather your thoughts before heading home.

While other cafes have similar perks, Antoinette has a few things that make it better. Here's why:

It's rare to find a place in Yongdam-dong where you can see both the airplanes and Yongduam at the same time. You can't see Yongduam from the local Starbucks, for example. Plus, the bread here is delicious. Honestly, it feels more like a bakery than a coffee shop.

Various breads including croissants and pain au chocolat are piled up on the store display stand.
