1. Introduction to the Cafe near Ilwol Arboretum
It can be surprisingly difficult to find a large brunch spot with convenient parking near Yuljeon-dong. I was thrilled to discover this gem of a cafe near Ilwol Arboretum!
The cafe offers ample parking space right in front, making it stress-free to visit by car. Its large size and eye-catching mint-colored exterior make it easy to spot.
This is Three Monkeys. As you approach the entrance, you're greeted by the cafe's signature trio of adorable monkeys.
The "Three Monkeys" concept is inspired by the famous proverb: "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil."
I love that this cafe aims to provide only sweet relaxation, which is a delightful motto!
The interior is spacious and well-designed, creating an open and airy atmosphere. I felt truly relaxed and refreshed during my visit.
The combination of mint, wood, and white tones is surprisingly beautiful. There are various seating options available, including tables for laptop users, group seating, and smaller meeting spaces, catering to everyone's needs.
2. The Unique Bonfire Terrace and a Friendly Dog
One of the standout features of Three Monkeys is its terrace. It's pet-friendly and even offers the chance to enjoy a bonfire experience in the heart of the city!
Isn't it amazing to find a bonfire setting right here in Yuljeon-dong? They even sell everything you need, from instant noodles and aurora powder to sweet potatoes and firewood. It's the perfect spot for bonfire gazing, especially in the winter.
Another great perk is the resident dog, Sseumong. Be sure to read the posted guidelines before interacting with him.
Sseumong is a handsome Jindo dog who loves people. Pet owners can even let their dogs run and play together on the terrace!

4. Tasting Notes from the Cafe near Ilwol Arboretum
On this visit, I ordered:
✔️Iced Americano
✔️Cafe Creme Brulee
✔️Fig Cake
The Cafe Creme Brulee was a perfect combination of creamy sweetness and rich coffee flavor. The caramelized sugar added a satisfying texture, making it a must-order again on my next visit!
Fig season is slowly starting. I enjoyed my first fig cake of the year at Ilwol Arboretum Cafe. The cake itself wasn't too sweet, allowing the fig flavor to shine. It paired perfectly with the slightly acidic Iced Americano.
5. Three Monkeys Even Has Cats!
This brunch cafe in Suwon Yuljeon-dong even has a kitten! While Sseumong guards the terrace, a baby cat was napping inside the cafe. I couldn't help but gaze at it for a long time because it was so adorable.
It's a socialized cat, so when we sat across from it, it climbed onto my friend's lap! Coffee and a cat? This was heaven for me!
Everyone at Three Monkeys looked happy and relaxed. Even the dog and cat seemed to be enjoying a peaceful rest, which made me love this cafe even more.
