SLOWBOAT Atelier sits quietly along the scenic coast of Aewol-eup, Jeju, offering more than just your average coffee run. This café is tailored for those who appreciate a thoughtfully brewed cup paired with a laid-back setting, where the sea breeze filters through an intimate space that’s snug yet open to natural views.

The café’s limited seating encourages a slower pace. It’s a spot where you might find yourself lingering over a pour-over, like their delicate Ethiopian drip coffee, or savoring a tangerine ginger tea, a local twist that brings a refreshing tang alongside subtle warmth. The iced Americano here strikes a good balance, cooled to just the right level without watering down the flavor—a detail coffee lovers will notice.

Inside, the design leans into minimal yet warm aesthetics, giving the feeling of a quiet retreat ideal for reading or reflection. Outside, the garden area adds a charming touch with a friendly cat who welcomes visitors with gentle company, making it feel like a small community nook rather than a typical café experience.

Parking, while not right at the door, is conveniently available nearby, requiring a short walk that prepares you to fully step into the calm environment SLOWBOAT Atelier cultivates. Because of the spot’s popularity, especially for its sea views, plan your visit for quieter times—early mornings or weekday afternoons—to enjoy a seat without waiting.

This café suits those who come for more than caffeine alone: creatives with notebooks, locals winding down after a day, and travelers craving a genuine taste of Jeju’s coastal charm. It’s a place where coffee quality, thoughtful design, and atmosphere merge seamlessly into a calm, seaside coffee retreat.

Decaf option is available, tastes good. Pastry is great Interior is amazing. As for the most beautiful places, be ready to wait for the place with a view (but sometimes at least for some empty place) Cat in the garden is friendly and loves scratches

Food: 5/5 Over 2 days, I'm fortunate to try both coffee blends. The Slowboat Dark Blend is relatively more rich in flavor since it's roasted coffee, and although there seems to be a lot of ice cubes for the cold drink, it's exactly just enough to keep the drink cool without compromising the flavour. Atelier House Blend is relatively more mild in flavour, but has a slight enough tone of coffee flavour to make it taste phenomenal. Service: 5/5 Both of the employees speak English and Korean, the menu also had Chinese, so I suggest pointing to them on the counter if you don't know either. They were also very kind and always reminded new visitors to keep quiet and don't disturb the other visitors in the coffee store. When visiting again the next day, they also recognized us and greeted us with another warm welcome. Atmosphere: 5/5 For indoors, you have a warm lighting mixed with a quiet atmosphere, while you can view the seaside from the windows. Outdoors, there are balcony areas that allows you to enjoy your coffee while feeling the breeze from the sea.

Must go if you love coffee and aesthetics. The madeleine were sooo good. Barista is this could man of few words but definitely passionate about his job. The kind of place for a good cup of coffee with books, writings etc. Free parking is about 150m away. :)

Review of SLOWBOAT Atelier: A Charming Seaside Coffee Retreat SLOWBOAT Atelier in Jeju is an enchanting coffee shop that offers a stunning sea view, making it a perfect spot for those looking to unwind. The atmosphere is intimate, with limited seating that adds to the cozy vibe of the place. Upon arrival, you’ll find ample parking for cars, followed by a short, pleasant walk to the café, which enhances the overall experience. The interior is beautifully designed, featuring a harmonious blend of concrete and wood that creates a modern yet warm ambiance. The walls are adorned with shelves filled with books and photographs, presumably captured by the owner, which add a personal touch and invite guests to explore the artistic side of the café. The thoughtful decor, combined with the soft lighting, makes it a welcoming space to relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee. Overall, SLOWBOAT Atelier is a beautiful retreat that combines great coffee with a stunning setting. If you’re in Jeju, this intimate café is definitely worth a visit!

Nice deco and vibes with great sea view. Unfortunately the place has very limited seats and could not fit much customers.

An excellent Caffe con latte. I love this man's aesthetic. My family rated this cafe as the best cafe we visited this trip.

Beautiful little cafe facing the sea on the northern coast of Jeju. Limited drinks and food selection but very nicely done - try their house blend. The interior is also well designed with lots of comfortable spots. There is a dedicated parking area around 2-3 mins walk away.

No parking in front of the cafe. There’s a parking area for the cafe about 100m away from it. Menu isn’t huge but they have one of the best coffee we have had on the Island. The order counter is on the 2nd floor. Sitting is a bit limited so just have to share the table or sit outside the cafe.
