When visiting Jeju, most people think of emerald-coloured seas and waterfalls. However, Jeju is also home to some of the most serene and peaceful forests, and some of them have the most unexpected surprises. One of which is Andor Bakery & Coffee (안도르), a gorgeous cafe hidden within a forested area.
Cafe In The East of Jeju
Surrounded by several oreums and forests, Andor Bakery & Coffee stands out with its white-washed walls, grey concrete elements, and glass windows. The cafe is huge even for Korea, with two separate indoor seating areas and lots of alfresco seats spread out.
One of the main reasons Andor Cafe became a popular spot among Koreans visiting Jeju is because of the number of photo spots surrounding the cafe. If taking photos inside the Instagrammable cafe isn’t enough, you’ll find picture-perfect backdrops here.
Right beside the cafe, there’s a photo spot with trees helping to frame your shot along with a small mountain at the back. Lots of couples come here to do their wedding shots!
Near the carpark of the cafe, there’s also a small road that leads into the forest and it makes a great backdrop for photos as well.

Menu at Andor Bakery & Coffee
Being a bakery cafe, Andor has a wide range of bakes and drinks.
Beverage-wise, you can find items like Peanut Cream Latte (8,000won) alongside the usual coffee items like Americano (6,500won), Vanilla Latte (8,000won), and Latte (7,500won).
They also have non-coffee options like Omija Cranberry Ade (8,000won), Sweet Pumpkin Latte (8,000won), Hallabong Passionfruit Ade (8,000won), and Jeju Green Tea Latte (8,000won).
For their bakes, you’ll find a display that’ll make you go ‘daebak’ once you see it. Here, several trays are topped with beautiful bakes such as a Sweet Potato shaped bun with sweet potato filling (4,500won), Nutella Cronuts (5,500won), Lemon Cronuts (5,500won), and Peanut Cream Croissants (7,000won).
There are also savoury options that include the like of Corn Cheese Bread (4,500won) Chili Sausage Bread (5,500won) and Garlic Baguette (5,500won).
If you want something insta-worthy, you can check out their collection of mousse cakes, coming in the shape of Hallasan, Hallabong, and the Dol-hareubang!
We tried the Pepperoni Pastry (5,500won) which was a flaky and savoury treat. The thin layers of pastry added a nice crunch and had just a nice amount of sweetness from the tomato sauce.
On the other hand, the Black Sesame Mochi Mammoth (6,500won) was a massive stack of crumbly bread, nutty black sesame cream, mochi, and strawberry jam. We loved the texture of the bread, which was a crusty exterior that contrasted well with the soft, chewy mochi.
We also tried the super photo-worthy Hallasan (6,000won) which was a white chocolate mousse cake. When cut in half, the dessert revealed a strawberry jam center.
Instagram-Worthy Cafe in Jeju
In our humble opinion, Andor Bakery & Coffee deserves a quick visit when you’re in Jeju, especially if you’re heading towards the East to locations like Seongsan Ilchubong. Since it’s on the way, you can stop at Andor for a quick rest, take some photos and enjoy a quick stroll in the forest nearby.
