커피 비엔나는 크림 잔득 올라가 있고, 달음. 시그니쳐 메뉴..카페모카랑 비슷함. 가격대비 사이즈는 작으나 진한맛 이었음. 분위기가 색다름. 밤에 가니 장작에 구워먹는 군밤을 주심

파출소를 개조한 특색있는 카페, 음료맛은 물론이고~~ 분위기깡패, 야외가 넓어 아이들 데리고 가기도 좋고~ 주차에 대한 부담이 없어 너무 좋네요~ 커피콩빵이 jmt이란 덩어리tv님에 영상을 보고, 침 꿀꺽~ ㅎ 너무 맛있네요~~~ 옛생각에 빠져도 보고~ 시원한 봄바람을 느끼기에도 너무 좋습니다~~ 요즘 저의 소확행입니다~~

Great spot to enjoy a drink outside and in. It's an old prison. You can take pictures with prisoner's clothes on!

경찰서를 개조한 카페로 내부에 조금씩 그 흔적이 남겨져 있다 매번 계절마다 카페 외부 배치도 조금씩 바뀌어 색다른 매력을 느낄 수 있다. 여름은 그늘에서 쉬기 좋게 구성되어 있고 겨울엔 불멍을 하기 좋은데 사장님께서 밤을 갖다주셔서 불에 직접 군밤을 구워먹을 수 있다 주차 공간은 카페소유의 넓은 공간이 두곳이나 있어 편하다

이 공간만의 멋이 있는 공간. 정리되지 않은 듯하지만 그게 분위기를 만들어 내는 곳! 공간 곳곳이 다른 문화를 담고 있음!!
