Cafe in West Jeju: Jeju SANNOLU
Location & Address: 32 Nakwon-ro, Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju City

Jeju SANNOLU is a cozy cafe located in a quiet area on the west side of Jeju, away from the bustling city center.

Although it’s well-known, it’s less crowded since you need a car to reach it, making it a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy your time.

The biggest highlight of Jeju SANNOLU has to be its outdoor area.

On nice, sunny days, you can sit outside and take in the surroundings. I enjoyed the peaceful outdoor terrace, and the quiet, serene atmosphere is something I still remember fondly. It was such a tranquil experience!

The cake had an incredibly dense, mousse-like texture—so delicious. It’s made with matcha that’s much richer than regular green tea, which I absolutely loved.

The slight bitterness and full aroma of matcha really came through, and it wasn’t overly sweet, which made it even better for me.

If you find it needs a bit more sweetness, you can enjoy it with the whipped cream on the side. The combination was perfect—the sweetness of the cream balances out the matcha's earthy bitterness so well!

Since I was at a matcha specialty cafe, I wanted to try a matcha-based drink but was also craving coffee, so I ordered both!

The Matcha Einspanner is an Americano topped with matcha whipped cream, while the Matcha Flat White is a flat white (similar to a latte) with a hint of matcha, offering a slightly sweet coffee experience.

I’m usually not a fan of sweet drinks or green tea lattes, but matcha was different—it exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t overly sweet, which I loved, and it had a perfect balance of rich matcha aroma along with the distinct coffee flavor.
