About this experience

Coffee Shops in Nari Basin is a self-guided café-hopping activity located in the volcanic crater basin of Ulleungdo, South Korea. The basin's cluster of small, family-run coffee houses offers brews made from locally grown beans and views of the surrounding farmland and forested slopes. Visitors can walk between the cafés along the basin's flat, open roads, sampling distinct roasts and traditional Korean rice cakes.

What to expect

Walk the 2-kilometre loop road connecting five cafés, each with its own roasting setup and signature drink, such as walnut cream latte or buckwheat tea.
Taste coffee brewed from beans grown on Ulleungdo's volcanic soil, a rare product due to the island's cool climate and steep terrain.
Sit on outdoor wooden decks facing the basin's central vegetable fields, where farmers harvest potatoes and cabbages in summer.
Each café visit lasts 30 to 45 minutes, with a total activity time of 2 to 3 hours depending on how many stops you make.
Suitable for small groups or solo travellers who enjoy slow-paced, scenic breaks, and who want to support local family businesses.
Most cafés offer free refills of filtered water and a complimentary slice of mugwort rice cake with any hot beverage purchase.
