Modern Dalbit

Jeonju


Just beyond the hanok village, this cafe offers decent espresso and quirky art. The 1st-floor cafe with polished concrete sprinkled with artful design choices is the antithesis of the old-world style across the street. Be sure to check out the funky bathrooms. Guesthouse rooms for rent are on the 2nd floor.
