A Quiet Escape: An Old Café in Busan ☕🌿

 Deep Slow Coffee 
23-1 Gurak-ro 25beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan

Tucked away on a quiet side street in Busan, this old café feels like stepping into another time — a place where everything moves just a little slower. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the soft strains of Japanese music drifting through the air, setting a calm, nostalgic tone. The warm lighting, wooden furniture, and faint scent of coffee and citrus gave the space an almost meditative quality — the kind of place where conversation falls into whispers and thoughts have room to settle.

Curious to try something new, I ordered their basil and tomato drink, which turned out to be refreshingly unexpected. The herbal brightness of the basil blended beautifully with the gentle sweetness of the tomato, creating a flavor that was both clean and comforting. It was one of those rare drinks that surprises you in the best way — subtle, balanced, and quietly memorable.

The rest of the menu was just as intriguing, offering handcrafted teas, small pastries, and seasonal specialties that reflected the café’s thoughtful, almost artisanal approach. Every detail — from the choice of music to the arrangement of dried flowers on the counter — is infused with intention.

If you’re looking for a place to slow down and enjoy something a little different, this café is a quiet gem. It’s not flashy or modern, but that’s exactly its charm — a small, timeless corner of Busan where you can simply sit, sip, and exhale.
