카페를 손수 지었다고 하시네요 실내공간도 더 늘리고 있어서 실내외로 꽃과 바람을 즐기면서 휴식 즐기기 좋은곳 입니다

It feels like a scene from a fairy tale. Sipping coffee under the roof of this iconic building brings a deep sense of calm. I truly cannot recommend it enough.

UPDATE June 2023 Returned to Cafe Gru. I just love this cute cozy charming cafe. The plants are more mature and every corner is decorated with something cute. The herb scent by the walkway was so calming on a rainy day. I loved the rose tea. Tiny main house has two tables (one table for 6, 1 table for 4). Tables for 2 outside under the covered area. Cafe Gru closes during the citrus picking season in winter. Call ahead to confirm if they are open. June 2022 Cafe Gru takes you to the hills of Spain right in the middle of Jeju. The Spanish house was built by the owner over three years and is charming and peaceful. If you are not into coffee, you can opt for fruity drinks and fruit bowl.

산속 도로 끼고 있는 이쁜 카페에요. 제주가 연상되는 음료도 달고 맛있네요~ 사실 단음식은 안좋아하지만 여행 중에 한 두번쯤은 시도~! 그리고 사진 맛집이기도 하네요~ 관음사 연계해서 중간에 잠시 쉬기에 좋습니다!

Cute and quaint surprise find along a mountain road, run by husband and wife duo. Building was hand built by husband and interior furnished by wife. Delicious iced oat latte and rose/passionfruit-ade. Interesting building design with open air courtyard, very charming. Great takeaway spot.

오랜만에 제주스럽지 않은 카페를 만난 느낌! 식상한 돌창고가 아니라 유럽느낌 낭낭함! 커피주실때 작은 떡도 주시는데 술떡?인것 같음ㅎㅎ 여사장님 엄청 친절하시고 남사장님은 쉴새없이 꽃잔디와 나무를 가꾸심! 조경도 깔끔하고 외부, 실내공간 모두 예쁨! 주문하는 건물에 테이블이 하나있고 주문 후 바깥으로 나가면 야외테라스, 에어컨있는 실내공간이 또 있음! 날이 좋아서 야외에 앉았는데 바람도 살랑불고 책읽고 글쓰기 좋았음. 야외에 있다가 조금 더워져서 실내테이블로 옮기자마자 아기있는 일행들이 와서 실내자리를 양보해줬더니 사장님께서 미안하다며 서비스음료를 주심ㅠㅠ
