Every time I travel to Cheongju, I try to find a cafe where I can calm down, and 풀문 is the place that makes people become regular customers. This cafe originally became popular because of their legendary "cheese shaved ice", but when I walked in personally, I found that its charm is far more than that.
You can feel the design from the entrance: the simple building is matched with modern wooden frame windows. The whole space is bright and warm after stepping in. Although the space on the first floor is small, it is full of books and green plants; on the second floor, there are large glass windows overlooking the street view. When the weather is good, you can even sit on the terrace to watch the sunset. It is a rare quiet corner in the city.
That day, I ordered a cheese shaved ice and a cup of iced Americano. The shaved ice was amazing as soon as it was served - full of cheese spread on the snowflake ice, the visual effect alone is super eye-catching. The moment it enters the mouth, the refreshing ice and the salty fragrance of the cheese blend just right, not too greasy, but more and more mouth-watering. With the slightly bitter iced Americano, the taste is well balanced, and people can't stop one bite after another.
The customers in the store are mainly young people and small families, and there are also many travelers like me who come alone to write and read. Everyone is not noisy, and they are immersed in this quietness. The boss and the staff are also very friendly. Although they don't talk much, they make people feel comfortable every time they serve or clear the table.
This is not only a good place for taking photos and checking in, but also a cafe where you can really "stay for a long time". If you happen to be traveling in Cheongju, or just want to find a place to rest for a while, I strongly recommend you to come to 풀문 and feel the tenderness and surprise brought by a bowl of cheese shaved ice.
