The right example of a large cafe
I can't say for sure because I haven't been to every country in the world, but I expect that the genre of large cafes in the suburbs probably exists only in Korea. The narrow land between major cities makes it possible to access cafes from several cities to the suburbs, a high population density that makes it difficult to accommodate those who need a rest without a separate indoor space, and a long road for a special holiday despite any obstacles. This is because it can only be achieved when both the nationality and the high-level road infrastructure they have laid out are simultaneously satisfied.
Perhaps it's because it's a genre that requires big business decisions and the accompanying capital, and in most cases, I try to put as many things as possible in the prepared space. It is grateful to want to show as many things as possible to guests who have traveled far, but unfortunately, the impression I feel as a guest is often sloppy.
To see if this sad feeling has been conveyed, recently, large cafes with a good overall balance are being discovered, and the Sokcho branch of Sydney Noir is an example of this. First of all, it is clean from the outside without any protruding elements. It was really nice to feel the open feeling the moment I entered the high-rise interior space, as there were no elements that obstruct the view. On one side, the window is wide so that you can see the foot of Mt. Seorak, and on the other side, a wonderful maple tree gives a unique sense of season. Even in the middle of winter, it is still autumn inside Sid Noir.
The decisive reason why the memory of this place was good is that the taste of the food followed by the appreciation of the space acted as a positive factor in the overall experience. Rather, I still have the desire to visit again for a few bakery menus. The location, the view, the space, and the food were all prepared for a foreigner who had traveled a long way to this place called a cafe.
