Waveon Coffee opened in 2016. Situated on the coast of the East Sea, this coffee house offers one of the best ocean views among cafes in Gijang. On the first floor, it has ample outdoor seating. You can choose to lie down on bean bags or long benches, or sit down under parasols (patio umbrellas) while breathing in the ocean breeze.
Waveon’s indoor space is chic and trendy and each floor has large windows so you don’t need to worry about missing the beautiful ocean view. While both the outdoor seating on the first floor and indoor seating with cool air conditioning are great to sip your coffee, the rooftop is the place if you want to admire the view of the ocean and Imrang Beach. The one hundred eighty-degree view of fifty shades of blue will make you sound ‘Ah’.
The building of Waveon Coffee itself is an artwork. The building won Korea Architecture Awards (KAA) in 2018. Thanks to its beauty and awe-inspiring scenery, the cafe has been a filming location for many commercials and promoting clips for Busan and South Korea.
Waveon Coffee serves up its guests with its own roasted coffee and a variety of desserts. If you really like their coffee, you can order them online as well.
Goseurak
Next to the main building, the additional space is also a part of the cafe. The second floor of it is a row of separate rooms so you can enjoy the ocean view while appreciating your drinks without any interruption. The usage is limited for two hours, though. The first floor of the building is a restaurant, Goseurak.

Located at Bon Davinci Square in Gijang-gun, Cafe de Volt 220 has probably one of the largest indoor spaces among cafes in Gijang, if not in Busan. Cafe de Volt 220 serves coffee that they roast in-house. Also, they bake pastries and bread in-house as well. Recently, the cafe has added a beer option, collaborating with Gorilla Brewing, one of Busan’s craft breweries.
In addition to coffee, beer, and pastries, they sell plants and small gardening items. You can buy illustrations and other artwork by local artists, too.
Various Seating Choices

The cafe has plenty of outdoor seating as well. Although there are more cafes in Gijang that have better ocean views than Cafe de Volt 220, the location of the cafe is its big advantage. The cafe is close to Lotte Premium Outlets Dongbusan and IKEA. And, it is relatively easier to get to the cafe using public transportation compared to other cafes in Gijang.
