Nestled in the serene landscape of Sejong-si, cafe risen is more than just a café—it's a tranquil retreat away from the bustling world. Located at 50-23 Donam 2-gil, this hidden gem beckons to coffee lovers and those in search of a peaceful escape, especially on lovely days when the sun graces the sky.

As you approach cafe risen, you might feel that it’s a bit off the beaten path. However, this quaint spot is well worth the visit. Patrons have praised its charming ambiance and the friendly service provided by the dedicated staff, even during busy holiday stretches. The café is owned by a pastor who personally takes an active role in the establishment, ensuring that guests feel warm and welcomed.

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by an inviting space with high wooden ceilings and an airy vibe. The moment you enter, you can feel the sense of peace that emanates from the natural wood surroundings and thoughtful decor. It’s a cozy nook that encourages guests to relax and soak in the surrounding greenery right outside the windows.

The menu at cafe risen features a delightful selection of coffee and beverages, alongside tempting treats like delectable slices of cake and crunchy cookies. Though some reviews have pointed out that the coffee’s flavor is standard, the experience of sipping a warm drink while surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature—birds chirping, leaves rustling—creates a *healing* atmosphere that's hard to replicate. One visit at a leisurely hour, perhaps around 4 PM, is enough to allow the quietude to envelop you while you sit in their garden, perhaps even spotting a friendly Shiba Inu lounging leisurely.

Customer experiences highlight the café’s charm: one visitor described it as a sanctuary amidst the rural whisper of the nearby 금강수목원 (Geumgang Forest), while another noted the spacious environment making it an ideal spot for reflection and relaxation. The feel of the place resonated deeply with a reviewer who mentioned, “It’s perfect for unwinding with a good book or simply soaking in the tranquility.”

Whether you are a local or just passing through, cafe risen invites you to take a break from the ordinary. Embrace the soothing experience it offers, and let the gentle artistry of nature and coffee work their magic on your day.

세종에서 한적한 마을에 있아서 가본사람만 갈수 있겠어요. 커피등 음료와 조각케잌,쿠키가 있네요. 정원에있는 나무들 바라보며 조용히 있다가갑니다.

오후 4시쯤 날 좋은시간에 가서 힐링하기 딱이에요 옆에 금강수목원 있어서인지 나무도 많고 새소리도 들리는데 마당에 누워자는 시바견 보보,보리까지 너무 평화로워요!ㅎㅎ 내부 인테리어도 신경 많이 쓴 느낌으로 원목으로 이루어졌는데 갬성갬성하네요.

한적한 시골 금강 수목원 근처에 숨어있는 카페의 전경은 소담스럽고 정스러운 모습으로 맞이한다. 내부에 들어서니 공간이 꽤 넓고 나무로 지어져 천장이 높아 시원한 느낌이다. 아메리카노를 시켰다. 내기준에 90%수준으로 아주 만족한 맛

분위기는 좋았지만...음료나 서비스는 제가 갔을 때는 별로였어요. 사진찍기는 정말 좋은 곳인 것 같아요.
