What a gem! Quite simply one of the best coffee places i encountered in korea. This place is serious about coffee, every cup is created with care and their house blend is so tasty. Korea is a place with so many great and beautiful cafes but many fall short on the actual coffee itself. No here. Totally recommended. The owner is so passionate and friendly, can really see his love for coffee. Even bought a bag of beans from here, thank you again 331! Will be back as soon as i hit korea!

A cozy cafe right down from the temple area on the stream. It's a place that takes their coffeee seriously, but is not overly pretentious about it. They have various other drinks for non-coffee drinkers and a 2nd floor with nice views of the area is nice place to unwind after sightseeing.

김천에 이런 카페가 있다니 진짜 보물 발견입니다… 커피 맛 없어서 집에서 일리 내려먹으며 울고 지내는데 돈의 맛이예요. 남이 내려준 맛있는 커피 최고입니다…

Very nice cafe. If you have a car, you visit Jikji temple first and then go to this cafe. In spring time, when the cherry blossom flowers bloom, the surrounding landscape is so beautiful. You will be surprised how fast time goes in here. Coffee and desserts are so good. The owner, the male owner, can speak in English. The owner and staff are kind. There are some certificates that the owner won. He is a skilled and experienced barista.

Best coffee experience in Korea. My son Leo and me (from Sydney) stopped by after a walk around Jikjisa Temple. The owner are a true coffee enthusiast. The coffee is perfect. The staff were so nice and friendly. The place is a good stop for a rest after visit the temple.My son kept talking about the shop. I will return next time when I visit Korea again. Highly recommend from Leo’s father.

Best coffee we've had in Korea so far, by far. We're on a road trip, but this coffee made us travel for real...
