Hello!

After a trip to Gangneung, I stopped by Momendor in Wonju for a relaxing break. It felt like we were driving deeper and deeper, wondering when the cafe would appear, but finally, we arrived.

I had always dreamed of seeing a field densely packed with hydrangeas. At Momendor in Wonju, that dream came true!

Since it's a garden cafe, the bloom status is crucial, right? My visit was on Monday, August 18th, in the late afternoon. The hydrangeas seemed to have been in full bloom since early August and were still going strong.

There were hints of pink between the petals, but they looked like they'd easily last until the end of August. The parking space in front of the cafe seemed reasonably large, but it wasn't as spacious as the parking lot of a huge cafe.

When I visited, there were a few seats available, but I wondered if it would be the same on weekends. Since it was a Monday, there was no waiting, and some seats were open. I took pictures when there weren't many people around. Haha.

Based on the counter, there's a space where you can enjoy the green rice paddies instead of hydrangeas, and then there's a space connected to the hydrangea garden. There were also large tables, so families who came for family trips were able to relax comfortably.

At first, we were seated where we couldn't see the hydrangea garden very well, but while I went out to take pictures, my boyfriend moved us to the spot with the prettiest view! Haha.

Menu

As expected of a hydrangea cafe, they had hydrangea tea, as well as sandwiches and croffles. The croffles looked quite delicious.

Bakery

It was around 4 PM, so many of the baked goods were already gone. I came to see the hydrangeas, so it was okay if I didn't get to look at the desserts! But I couldn't resist the last few cakes that were left. Haha.

You can't see the hydrangeas up close without using the cafe. From the front of the cafe, you can only tell that there's a hydrangea garden. There's also a photo zone with artificial wisteria, benches, and walking paths.

You can go to the hydrangea garden through the cafe. The entire garden was filled with white hydrangeas, but there was one row that was a romantic pink.

Even if they bloom white, they can turn various colors like pink or lime depending on the soil.

If it becomes a pink hydrangea garden later on, that would be wonderful too! It would be nice to see pink hydrangeas in September!

After ordering, our food was delayed. According to the receipt, it came out 25 minutes late.

Even though it felt quiet because it was Monday, the food was slow and the return area was messy. Seeing the staff preparing drinks without tying up their long hair was also a bit disappointing in terms of hygiene. However, the rest of the space was well-organized.

We ate and then went out to take pictures.

Sweet Corn Cake: ₩7,800

The cream and the cake were really soft with a subtle sweetness of corn and I like the corn kernels that were chewy in the middle.

The taste of corn was natural and not too sweet, which was nice.

Peach Earl Grey Roll Cake: ₩7,800

The custard cream and the Earl Grey cake had a great taste and aroma, and the peach compote inside was a nice touch. I would recommend it if you like Earl Grey.

Americano: ₩6,000 / Hydrangea Tea: ₩6,000

I was going to have the Sweet Corn Cake and Corn Latte, but I was curious about the Hydrangea Tea, so I switched to Hydrangea Tea. Haha.

It tasted like a light green tea, but it was soft and subtly sweet? It was more charming because the sweetness of sugarcane was added.

The Iced Americano had a slight acidity and then was full of savory flavor, which was delicious.

We ate and went out to take pictures.

It looks better if you take pictures so that artificial objects like telephone poles don't appear. It's also good to have a partner and a tripod who will work hard to take pictures. The hydrangea path is beautiful.

But it was funny when I took pictures wearing Crocs. So, I'm taking pictures where the hydrangeas are hanging down to the floor like this, but I don't really like this composition either. I want to look delicate.

Should we take pictures with each other stuck in the aisles between the hydrangeas?

I think it looks better if the hydrangeas are overlapped!

The height of the European hydrangea shrubs was almost 140-150cm. I'm short, so I found a lower place to take pictures, and my tall boyfriend dominated the hydrangeas like this.

It's pretty to take pictures standing up, but it's also pretty to take pictures squatting down. Haha. It was still a bit hot around 5 PM.

Set up the tripod well in a place where the Crocs are hidden and snap a picture!

I also took a back shot for my blog. Lol. I was so satisfied with the beautiful hydrangea garden.

It was the end of a tiring trip, but I went without skipping it, and I left thinking that I did so well.

From now on, instead of just looking for rest stops when I go to Gangwon-do, I'm going to stop by a great Wonju cafe! Yay!

Momendor in Wonju, where European hydrangeas are beautifully in full bloom.

The hydrangea garden is well-maintained and relatively quiet, so it was relaxing.

Thank you :)

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
