You must not have been to Stone Creek Café (스톤크릭) in Wonju, Gangwon Province. This secret cafe hidden in the valley The interior of the store is a high-ceiling wooden building with large glass windows, which looks like a painting no matter where you sit. The most recommended way is to order a cup of hot Americano or matcha latte, with dessert, and quietly enjoy the view. ⛰️Each season has a different look. The summer is full of greenery, and the winter is a fairy tale of ice and snow. If you also want to escape the city and recharge, this is definitely a perfect choice. Price Reference｜Stone Creek Café The price of drinks in the store is about 6,000₩～8,000₩ (about NT$140～190), and desserts such as cakes, croissants, scones, etc. are mostly around 7,000₩～10,000₩. Although the price is a bit high, considering the location, sense of space and unbeatable mountain view, it is quite good overall. I especially recommend their matcha latte and lemon cake, which are very satisfying both visually and taste-wise! 📍Store information Store name | Stone Creek Café 스톤크릭 Address｜ 강원도 원주시 판부면 매봉길 94-23 Business hours｜10:00 – 21:00 (recommended to go on weekdays when there are fewer people) #wonjucafe #wonjuattractions #koreasecretcafe #icefallattractions #stonecreek #koreatravelrecommendations #wonjudaytour #wonjucheck-inattractions #koreawintertravel #secretcafe #koreamountainviewcafe #coffeeandscenery #goodplacesinapril2025

[ Gangwondo - Dinosaur's Spine 🦖 민둥산 (Bare Mountain) version ⛰ ] The perfect opportunity to lose weight has finally arrived! This topic is for mountain climbing enthusiasts, but even if you're not a fan of physical activity, don't worry—you can burn 240-355 calories in just 30 minutes by climbing to the summit. According to the author, 30 minutes of climbing is achievable for the energetic team, but for those who prefer a more leisurely pace, it might take over an hour 🥲.

During this season, the mountains are covered in lush green grass, and the fresh, cool air makes it a worthy destination to plan a trip and strap on your backpack for a visit 😇. 📌 Address: 강원 정선군 남면 억새꽃길 296 (296 Silver Grass Road, Nam-myeon, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do)

The egg tart enjoyed on the outdoor terrace with a great view of Gangneung Gyeongpo Lake at a glance was really,, simply impressive. This is a place that only sells a limited number of items per day for quality control. The interior of the store is narrow and the outdoor terrace table style is a system where only one group can enter and order at a time, so you may have to wait a little! The signature is the super sweet corn tart, which really catches the eye.. I fell in love with the extreme sweetness, but it's not so sweet that it gives me a headache. You really have to try it to know,, JMT.. 🫣 And this time, a new menu item, potato tart, was released, Potato lovers are really crazy.. It feels like mashed potatoes are put inside the tart? It really hit my taste buds, I fell in love with it 🥔🤎🤎 The basic egg tart is made by a pastry chef who personally kneads, ripens, and bakes it, so it has a really pastry-like texture, and it's really soft and chewy, and the size is big, so I'm full after eating just one, and it's full of cream, which is good. They also sell financiers and canelés, and they're all really delicious!!! The signature drink is the overweight latte, which you absolutely must try It's a latte with hazelnuts, and they grind the hazelnuts themselves and put them on top like a topping, so the combination of tart x overweight latte is amazing 🫶🏻 . . 📍Overweight @overweight_bakery 11 Gyeongpo-ro 371beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do 🚗Parking available 🕰Fri - Wed 11:00 - 19:00 (Early closing when ingredients run out) 🕰Closed on Thursdays ▪Potato Tart ▪Egg Tart ▪Corn Tart ▪Overweight Latte #CafeRecommendation #HotPlace #GangneungTravel
