A small beachfront coffee shop with two floors with amazing views of Weoljeong Beach. Modern, minimalistic interiors and seating on both floors. Great place for working, meeting people, or just simply enjoying the view while drinking good coffee.

뱅디 "Bengdi"
For some reason it's not showing up on Google Maps :/
This place has a simple, small menu but they're known for their wild octopus rice. It is slightly spicy and comes in a personalized cast-iron pan. Cut it up into thin slices, mix with your rice and enjoy. Their pork katsu is also very good. Delicious must-try place if you're in Jeju.
Note: they are closed on Thursdays and close in the middle of day for break.
They don't take reservations so I recommend calling and asking for wait times before going because it can get busy on weekends.
Most of the time you need to put your name down and wait, but there are many cafes you can relax at while waiting for your turn.

Jeju's traditional 5-day market happens every 5 days. This one in the Sehwa district happens 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th of each month. This one is closest to the house. There is also one that happens further out in the city that is a lot larger. You should check out this 5 day market to get a feel for how locals shop for organic produce, clothing, and other supplies. You can think of it like a giant farmers market :)
