Cafe Haeundae 1994: A Haeundae Hotspot Visited by BTS's Jungkook and Go Kyung Pyo
Cafe Haeundae 1994, located in Haeundae's Haeridan-gil, is popular for its directly roasted coffee beans, salt bread, and signature coffee.
This Haeundae hotspot has even been visited by BTS's Jungkook and actor Go Kyung Pyo.
Drip bags and cold brew coffee are also available for purchase as gifts.
On the second day of our summer vacation in Busan, after a morning stroll along Haeundae Beach, my wife and I were in the mood for brunch. So, we headed towards Haeridan-gil.
This trip was extra special because it was just the two of us. We wanted to spend some relaxing time in a charming cafe, and that's how we found Cafe Haeundae 1994.
Location & Atmosphere
The cafe is located at 1st floor, 122, Lamuette, 620, Haeundae-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan, right in front of Haeundae Station Exit 7, making it extremely accessible.
The building also has parking facilities up to five basement levels, and the cafe provides parking support for customers, which is a huge plus for travelers.
The interior had a warm and inviting atmosphere, typical of local cafes. Although somewhat small, it featured old photos of Haeundae throughout, capturing the history of the area.
A cute coffee plant was placed on a small table, adding to the cozy feel. The decor also provided great photo opportunities.
What caught my eye was the wall displaying signatures and mementos from celebrities. Records showed that BTS's Jungkook, actor Go Kyung Pyo, and even the musical teams of The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera had visited. Few cafes in Haeundae's Haeridan-gil boast such an impressive list of visitors.
Coffee Beans and Gift Items
This place isn't just a cafe; it also sells directly roasted coffee beans. In a corner of the cafe, you can find not only bags of beans but also drip bags, cold brew, and mugs, all reasonably priced between ₩10,000 and ₩50,000, making them perfect for gifts.
We even heard that they supplied drip bags for the Busan Port Authority's 20th-anniversary 기념, which made us feel very confident about the quality. While they're great as travel gifts, the fact that they supply to corporations and organizations shows just how high the quality is.
Menu & Order
As soon as we walked in, the variety of drinks and breads caught our attention. The salt bread and croffles, in particular, looked delicious.
The drink menu was conveniently organized by the Top 20 most popular items, making it easy for first-time visitors to choose. They also had yogurt smoothies perfect for summer, and offered discounts for purchasing bread sets.
My wife and I ordered two types of salt bread (butter salt bread and garlic salt bread) and two drinks.
My wife chose the refreshing Blueberry Banana Smoothie, and I went for the signature Haeundae Sand Festival Coffee.
Menu Review
The presentation of the two types of salt bread on a pretty plate immediately caught our attention.
The Butter Salt Bread, with its crispy exterior and chewy interior, was bursting with savory butter flavor with every bite.
The Garlic Salt Bread had a strong garlic aroma, reminiscent of garlic bread, and its thick, sticky texture was addictive.
The signature Haeundae Sand Festival Coffee was a unique menu item with a clever twist. It contained savory black sesame seeds, offering a flavor you can't easily find elsewhere.
The deep flavor of the strong espresso and the savory sesame aroma blended surprisingly well, giving a refreshing twist.
My wife's Blueberry Banana Smoothie was sweet and refreshing, perfectly quenching our thirst on a hot summer day.
Overall
Cafe Haeundae 1994 is more than just another cafe in Haeundae. With its directly roasted coffee beans, various gift products, and history of supplying to corporations, it is a trustworthy local brand.
The fact that celebrities like BTS's Jungkook and Go Kyung Pyo have visited adds to the special experience. If you're looking for a charming cafe in Haeundae's Haeridan-gil and want to browse coffee products for gifts, this is the perfect place.
