I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Thrill on the mug, a charming cafe located in Busan. The cafe is situated in a beautiful location with stunning views of the ocean. The atmosphere is very relaxed and inviting, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The menu at Cafe Thrill on the mug is extensive and offers a variety of coffee, refreshment, pastry and bread. Self service and it is more convenient to drive here.

Really amazing cafe with a spectacular view of the ocean. It is a bit far from central city Busan, but is accessible by car. No buses run here, so make sure to plan accordingly. We came around sunset and left around 8pm, and it was a bit difficult for us to call a taxi. Nonetheless, this cafe is great for photos and ending your day. The drinks are pretty good, but are a tad expensive.

This place is simply a dream. It was my favorite spot from the entire trip to Korea. We had a splendid day—the sun made the place look exceptional. The sunset is probably a real spectacle as well, but we didn’t get the chance to return at that time. The space is designed like an amphitheater, and the sea view is incredible. The coffee and desserts were excellent. Although it’s quite far from the city center and there isn’t much to visit nearby, it’s an attraction in itself and well worth the trip. It’s the perfect place where you can easily spend half a day and never get tired of it.

At first, I thought this would be only a Instagram spot however, the food and beverages really surprised me too. Although it was crowded, this was probably the most beautiful café I have ever seen. The location is pretty remote, but it’s worth a long trip. Coffee was good. Pastry was delicious. Can’t agree more with the other reviews. 10 stars (if I could) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful cafe well worth the drive for the view! We had a tea and a yogurt smoothie. The pastries did not look that great to be honest, the view is what you’re paying for!

A cafe that has seen a lot of reviews, but when I actually went today The wind was very strong making it difficult to take photos. Because I went alone and in the evening there were a lot of people coming to watch the sunset. But recommend delicious coffee, delicious desserts, good service staff, big store and most importantly, clean, suitable for relaxing. Relaxing, Talking, Chilling is a cafe on the mountain. The sea view is really beautiful. I recommend it.
