Byo Byo Cafe: Encapsulating Jeju With Stone Statue-Shaped Desserts & Matcha Drinks

Byo Byo Cafe in Jeju


Jeju is known for its crystal clear waters and rolling mountains, and it’s not hard to see why the island is such a popular holiday location for tourists and even South Koreans alike. At Byo Byo Cafe, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in Jeju’s natural beauty, whilst indulging in adorable desserts that pay homage to the island’s culture.

If you’ve been to Jeju, you’ll know that the dolhareubang (rock statues found in Jeju) is an icon of the island.

At Byo Byo cafe, you’ll find the dolhareubang interpreted in the form of a decadent mousse cake.

The signature dolhareubang mousse cake (KRW9,500, ~USD7.28) comes with a small card that explains what’s inside the cake – it’s filled with a combination of traditional ingredients such as red bean paste and mugwort crumble.

After trying out the adorable desserts, wash it all down with their signature drinks, such as the seasonal ade (KRW8,000, ~USD6.13), which are carbonated drinks made locally grown fruits that are in season.

The interior of the cafe is awash with minimal colours, which gives the cafe a clean and polished feel.
