Busan overflows with restaurants and cafes of every description.

In 2019, local coffeesmith Joo Yeon Jeon took first place in the World Barista Championship, putting her café, Momo's Coffee, firmly on the map. Since then, the team has set up shop in a beautiful warehouse-like space that features an observable, working roastery.
The Jeonpo Cafe Street's original purveyor of caffeinated goodness, FM Coffee roasts all of their own beans and offers a great selection of baked goods and pastries. The second-floor terrace is perfect for sipping their signature "Tomorrow Coffee"—a cold brew topped with fresh cream—while watching the street life play out below.
Drawing regular neighborhood workers along with visitors, this cool, laid-back café radiates easy urban charm. It's situated on the ground floor of the KNN building and is the ideal spot to stop off and recharge when exploring the glass and steel canyons that make up Centum City.
