Cafe near Songjeong Station in Busan: how do you reach a forest-garden café on Dalmaji-gil, and where should you sit?

If you are looking for a cafe near Songjeong Station where you can sit among trees, take a taxi or drive about 4 minutes up the hill to 491 Dalmaji-gil. Parking is free for 20 cars right in front, and walk-ins are welcome, so you do not need a reservation for a small group. On weekdays we are open until 18:00, with last orders at 17:50.

Fruiterie Forest is a forest-garden café with two glass greenhouses at 491 Dalmaji-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, on the wooded hill between Songjeong and Haeundae.

Getting there from the station

From Songjeong Station, a taxi up Dalmaji-gil is the simplest way and takes about 4 minutes. Walking takes around 25 minutes and the last part is a steady climb, so save your legs for the beach. If you are driving, the 20 free spaces in front are rarely full on a weekday. When the houses thin out and tall trees close in on both sides of the lane, you have arrived at this cafe near Songjeong Station.

Where to sit

Pick by the weather. On a chilly or windy day, choose glass: the large greenhouse has 24 seats and the small one has 10, so the light comes in and the wind stays out. On a clear, mild day, go up to the second-floor deck, which has 40 seats and looks out over the forest and the hills, as in the photo. The 28 forest seats among the bamboo are the most peaceful spot on Dalmaji-gil when the sun is out.

> A good morning by the sea is even better when the afternoon belongs to the trees.

What to order

Start with a cold-pressed juice made from the fruit that came in that day, or a smoothie. If you are cold from the sea breeze, a hot fruit tea or a real vanilla bean latte is a good choice. We set the sweetness by the fruit itself. On weekdays, one drink per person also gets you one free Americano refill. Prices are on the menu page, and you can order from the English menu online.
