Aden at Bomun Lake – Two Visits, Two Seasons 2025.03.30 (Spring) & 2022.11.09 (Autumn) We returned to Aden at Bomun Lake this spring, two years after our first visit in autumn 2022. The place felt much more crowded this time, likely due to the season and the post-pandemic recovery. Back in 2022, things were quieter—hand sanitizer was provided at the entrance, and masks were still required. Aden is huge. The seating areas are plentiful, and spaces between seats are wide enough to walk around comfortably, even when it’s busy. On our recent visit, we noticed a new section selling red bean bread. It was popular—there was a queue—so we didn’t check it out. With such a wide variety of bread, buns, and pastries, most first-time visitors tend to go for their signature items: 긍정빵 and 달빛빵—Google Translate calls them Positive Bread and Moonlight Bread. They're made with milk bean paste and whipped cream. By coincidence, we ended up having the same Moonlight Bread on both visits. Though we're not sure if they tasted the same, they looked quite similar. For drinks, we recommend the ones with artistic presentation—the peanut butter coffee and the Cheomseongdae coffee (not in menu) are both worth trying. If the weather isn’t too cold, the outdoor terrace is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the stunning lake view—especially beautiful with cherry blossoms in spring.

It's so nice to visit a cafeteria in Gyeongju city, South Korea. The interior is beautiful and cozy, and there's a great view of the lake from inside. Gyeongju is known as the most traditional place in South Korea, and visiting this cafeteria allows you to enjoy many traditional Korean elements.

Very nice and big cafe. To be honest it was one of the cafe in this area. Was very busy over there. All tables were almost taken and I was very luck to find one for my self. My advise is to find the table first and then go to place order. There is a nice view from the terrace on lake.

Classic exterior with modern interior design. The bakery and beverage they offer are one of the most tasty thing I ever had so far. It is accessible from 3 different parking lots. I would like to highly recommend the place.

My favorite coffee shop in Korea. Amazing coffee and bakery. Beautiful decor and atmosphere and amazing views. Only suggestion theAC was full blaze and it wasn't hot outside in late September so they could consider putting it at a better temperature. Still we loved our breakfast looking at the lake!

A cafe with a view, we took a quick break here in the midst of the summer heat. The pastries itself are yummy but the drinks are a bit lackluster compared to the price.

Very popular lakeside trendy cafe which highlights local artists on a rotating basis. Best to come early to enjoy some nice bread and upscale coffee drinks before it gets hard to find a seat.
