📍 Cheongju Seongan-gil “Isaf Coffee Stand”️️️☕💛

#TravelItinerary While walking down the cafe alley of Seongan-gil, Cheongju, I stopped in my tracks when I saw a place with such a great atmosphere. 🚶♀️✨ It was a small cafe called Isaf Coffee Stand. The exterior was so pretty and stylish that I couldn't pass it up. The wooden exterior and low-hanging signboard lighting seemed to quietly invite me in. 😌🌿 It's a smaller space than I expected, but the overall atmosphere is warm and sophisticated. There are bar seats and a few small tables, making it a great place to visit alone or with friends. ☁️📚 I've been trying to cut down on caffeine lately, so I ordered a decaf vanilla latte. ☕💛 I loved that Isaf offers decaf, and I was surprised at how rich and smooth the coffee was, not at all bland! The milk and vanilla syrup were perfectly balanced, and the smoothness made it enjoyable to finish. 😊 I also ordered a plain croffle! Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, it was warm and baked perfectly, giving it a wonderful texture. Dipping it in butter and syrup made it the perfect dessert. 🧇🍯 One croffle and a cup of coffee made me feel like all my stress from the day had melted away. 🫶✨ Sipping coffee while sitting by the window and enjoying the view outside was truly captivating. 🌇 Since it was dusk, the natural light was beautiful, and soft background music was playing, making it the perfect place to enjoy some alone time. The cups, plates, and even the menu were all filled with a touch of sophistication, making it a photo-worthy space. 📸💗 The menu isn't extensive, but they offer flat whites, drip coffees, and seasonal drinks, so you can choose according to your taste. It's not often that you find a cafe with a decaf option, so Isaf offers a wide selection, which is a huge plus! 😍 If you're looking for a quiet coffee break on Seongan-gil, I highly recommend Isaf Coffee Stand. 💕 It's a small place, but the attention to detail is evident, and the coffee and desserts are carefully crafted, making it a place you'll want to keep to yourself.
