Visit Saebyeol Oreum and Jejudang Café – Jeju’s Scenic Hike and Bakery Combo

"Oreum and Bakery Café Combo"

When I think of the moments that truly capture the essence of Jeju, one afternoon stroll across a vast meadow and a quiet coffee break in a hidden garden come to mind. Nestled in the Aewol area of western Jeju, Saebyeol Oreum and the Jejudang Bakery Café form a perfect duo — where nature’s simplicity meets thoughtful human touch.

🌾 Saebyeol Oreum: A Hill with a View

Saebyeol Oreum, meaning "early morning star hill," offers one of the most picturesque landscapes in Jeju. Unlike the more crowded tourist spots, this extinct volcanic cone is known for its open space and peaceful atmosphere. The climb is short — about 20–30 minutes — but rewarding. At the summit, you're treated to a 360-degree panoramic view of Jeju’s plains, Hallasan in the distance, and even the coastline if the weather is clear.

🚌 How to Get to Saebyeol Oreum by Public Transport

If you're not renting a car, don’t worry — Saebyeol Oreum is still accessible:

• From Jeju City, take Bus 251, 253, 254, 252 (heading toward Moseulpo) and get off at Saebyeol Oreum Entrance (새별오름입구).
• The bus ride takes about 60 minutes from Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal.
• From the bus stop, it’s a 10-minute walk to the base of the oreum.

💡 Tip: Be sure to check bus schedules ahead of time, as service intervals in rural Jeju can be long.

🥐 Jejudang: A Garden Café Like No Other

Just a short walk or drive away from Saebyeol Oreum is Jejudang, a bakery café that left a deep impression on me — perhaps the best I’ve ever visited. It's not just about the bread (which is amazing), but the entire experience.

• Their handcrafted breads and pastries are made with locally sourced ingredients, combining tradition with a modern twist.
• The garden is more than just a backdrop — it's a place to wander, breathe, and relax. Think green fields, stone paths, and a quiet ambiance that feels like a scene from a Ghibli film.
• With wide outdoor seating areas and floor-to-ceiling windows, Jejudang offers a perfect blend of indoor coziness and outdoor beauty.

It’s a place where time slows down. After walking up and down the oreum, sitting here with a warm cup of coffee and a flaky croissant felt like a gentle reward.

🌿 Why Visit Both?

What makes this pair so special is the contrast and harmony — the untouched beauty of Saebyeol Oreum and the carefully curated charm of Jejudang. They’re close enough to enjoy in one trip, yet each offers a distinct emotional tone. You climb, reflect, take in the views… and then you rest, savor, and smile.

📸 Photo-Worthy Spots

• The ridge of Saebyeol Oreum at sunset is a must-capture.
• Jejudang’s garden swings, rustic stone walls, and seasonal flowers make every angle Instagram-worthy.

Whether you're a nature lover, a café hopper, or just someone seeking a peaceful day in Jeju, this little journey between meadow and bakery may just be the perfect escape.
