I can't believe there's a place like this in Daejeon…! 😭 I was truly amazed!

The owner was very kind, and the accommodation was spotless 🧼, which made our stay very satisfying. 😊 I loved this place so much that I took a lot of photos 📸 and had a very relaxing time.

Address: 14-29, 1st floor, Gwanjeonam-ro 25beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon Atmosphere/Facilities: A cafe with pretty lighting. Key Point: A famous grapefruit cake place Average price per person: 5,000 won Rating: 3.5 This is a place that sells unfamiliar grapefruit cakes! I usually like grapefruit ade, so I couldn't not go to a place that sells grapefruit cakes. The cafe interior is so pretty, and there's a mirror with pretty lighting, so the pictures turned out really pretty. I think the price range is a little cheaper than other cafes.

Before winter comes, I went to ‘Jangtaesan Recreational Forest’ with my family to heal 🙂 This place is really full of nature,,🌲 I felt the autumn full of maple leaves as it was 🍂 I think I’ll be able to enjoy the late autumn feeling if I go once before November ends👍 #DaejeonTravel #FallFoliage #Hiking #RecreationalForest #Jangtaesan

#2026NewYearWelcome **Cake Boutique** 📍 Goejeong-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon I visited around 4 PM on Saturday, and the wait took less than 10 minutes ⏱️. There was a separate line for pregnant women, making it easy to find, and thanks to the outdoor heaters, it wasn't too cold despite the chilly weather 🔥. They even applied a 5% discount upon payment after verifying I was pregnant, which warmed my heart ❤️. The store operates in a ‘train’ style, where customers line up to select bread, making the entire process from queuing to payment convenient 🚂. Popular items like the Pure Roll and signature bread are limited to one per person to maintain freshness. The Pure Roll is truly delicious, so keeping it refrigerated is a must 🥖. It was an efficient yet warm cafe and bakery that satisfied both the fun of queuing and the taste of the bread ✨.

I ordered the famous Kumdoli Sando 💛 and Haengun Sando 🍀, but I had no idea the sandos could be this delicious 🫢 The bread wasn't cake bread, but rather a pantoa-style bread, and the cream was incredibly soft and delicious 👍🏻 The Kumdoli Sando, topped with sweet mango, was also delicious, and the Haengun Sando was filled with refreshing 🍊💚 I thought it would only look pretty, but I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect taste 💥 The cream can be a bit greasy, so I personally recommend the Haengun Sando, which is packed with refreshing fruit 🥰
