A Community Space Built by Residents
A special space has recently opened in Wolong-myeon, Paju City, breathing new life into the neighborhood. Wolong Attic Café & Village Mill(월롱방앗간) is more than just a place to grab a drink; it is a meaningful location created by the hands of local residents to continue the stories of the village.
The establishment features a bright and emotional atmosphere that might surprise visitors who expect a traditional mill. The first floor continues to operate as the original village mill, where residents still come to process rice cakes and grains, keeping the practical traditions of the area alive.
Relaxation in the Attic
On the second floor, you will find the Wolong Attic Café, which boasts a cozy and warm atmosphere suitable for everyone.

The menu is very affordable, with an Americano priced at 3,500 won. You can also enjoy unique treats like mill-made misutgaru lattes or homemade rice cakes. Since local currency (Paju Pay) is accepted, it offers double the benefits for visitors.
