Creator’s Insight: A Hidden Gem in Pyeongtaek’s Countryside


Nestled in the tranquil farmlands of Pyeongtaek, Café Ego offers a refreshing escape from the bustle of the city. Located about 1km down narrower farm roads from GS25 on Paengseong Buk-ro, the café’s sign leads the way, guiding visitors through a quiet farming neighborhood. While it may take a little effort to find, the reward is well worth it. A serene view of the Pyeongtaek River or Anseong Cheon awaits those who make the journey.


Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by the barista and the owner. The interior was tastefully decorated for the fall season, with pumpkins, brown leaves, and other charming details. We opted for the café’s set menu, which included an Americano and a slice of cake for 12,000 won. Unable to resist, we also tried some of the Andong Apple Bread on display.

The owner kindly recommended we check out the second floor, and we were delighted to find a spacious rooftop area with tall trees, tables, and even decorative bunnies, creating an oasis amid the surrounding farmland. Inside, the second-floor space was adorned with ornaments and figurines on bookshelves and tables, further enhancing the cozy atmosphere. A folding door opened wide, offering a spectacular view of the river from indoors. It felt like being at a resort, where time slows down, and one can simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.


The coffee and dessert did not disappoint. The Americano was smooth and satisfying, while the cheesecake in the set menu was velvety with a perfectly crumbly crust. The Andong Apple Bread was soft, with a nutty filling and a subtle, pleasant apple flavor.

Café Ego truly offers a complete experience: stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere, delicious coffee and desserts, and a charming, seasonal décor. It’s a hidden gem that we’re excited to share with others and will undoubtedly visit again soon.
