"Located in a sleepy village on the outskirts of Seoul, the Dreamy Camera Cafe allows its customers to crawl inside of a giant camera and take a look through the other side of the giant lens. Built by a former pilot and avid camera collector, the cafe towers over the owner’s nearby house. Inside there are two floors of cozy coffee consumption with a decor that is dominated by vintage cameras ranging from miniature toys to real antique contraptions. Each floor has a large bay window that together, from the exterior, make up the dual lenses of the Rolleiflex camera the building is modeled after. The decor inside the cafe is equally ecstatic about photography with film negatives sitting on each coffee table, and even toilet paper that is made to look like a film reel. While the first floor of the cafe is devoted to a sort of camera museum, the second floor is home to a small gallery of photography, which patrons are welcome to try and submit their own work to. Or they can simply enjoy the rather amazing, uninterrupted view of the Korean mountains. Whether they are fans of cameras, coffee, or just stunning views, the visitors to the Dreamy Camera Cafe are well taken care of. The singular coffee house has to be one of the most picturesque structures in the world. Know Before You Go This charming cafe is closed on Sundays and Mondays." - calvinballing, Angie Papple Johnston, EricGrundhauser, Martin, hrnick

As a camera lover this place is pretty awesome. The designing that went into this place is very nice. It literally looks like a huge camera from afar. The owners are very friendly and very helpful. It is a drive from Seoul but well worth the trip. I went on a raining day and enjoyed it. So just imagine on a lovely day how much more you'd enjoy it. Of course I had the advantage of cherry blossom trees scattered around so it helped loads and I also had the clouds hugging the surrounding hills which was an added bonus. Downside, cloud cover 😣

Absolutely love this cafe. I went a couple years ago but will never forget this cafe. My friends and I spent hours here sipping on the yummy coffee and jotting down our dreams/goals. The owner is incredibly welcoming and kind, and explained the history of the cafe and how her and her husband were inspired to build it. Definitely worth the trip into the countryside and if I return to Korea, I would visit again.

Really really love this place. My friend and I came here in the beginning of year 2020, we spent lots of time here “dreaming” and setting our new year and life goals. The view is stunning, the atmosphere is warm and full of host’s camera collection, tea is good and is with a delicate cup. The host is friendly that she helped to call a taxi for us, and also made us hot berry tea when we went outside to take pictures. If you are confused with life or if you lose your faith/courage to your dream/goal, you shall come, since I got mine via visiting here.

Really a good place to stay for a day. Such a pretty the day I came was raining. Think about your dream and look back to your life. I drunk a cup of mocha and it's really taste good! Buy a postcard here and they can help you to send worldwide.

The triple threat, my wife and I were so happy we stopped by and the nice lady spoke English very good, so she. Was able to explain to us about her dream to poem this beautiful Café and how her and her husband planed it out to make that dream come true. Also my mint tea was made from fresh mint from her garden.

What a wonderfully quirky unique find! Not only is it inside of a giant replica of a vintage med format camera, the friendly service and tgd scenic view makes this coffee shop a worth the trek. You’ll find yourself writing a “dream list” (Bucket list) with a delicious espresso drinks on hand, the owner/barista will also print out a wallet sized card of it so you can carry it around with you. Super cute!!! 🤗
