포항 인근 동해안 바닷가 언덕에 자리잡은 전망 좋은 커피숍이에여~ 아메리카노가 맛이 아주 진해요~

Great location on the east coast with a stunning 180 degree view of the water, a small port, and a beach. An outdoor grassy terrace with sail shades gives a very Mediterranean feel. Best for conversation and relaxation: no electric sockets available for laptops and poor internet connection makes it less desirable for getting work done. The fresh breads with Beurre d'Isigny are a definite plus; the usual assortment of coffees and teas, light on smoothies or other drinks. Worth the short drive north out of Pohang. Edited: As of July 2021 they now offer excellent smoothies. Pretzel bread with French butter, unctuous cheddar 'cheese bread', a caramel cookie cheesecake are usually available in the display case. Edited: As of Jan 2022 the internet connection is much improved, so battery life is the only limitation on how long you want to sit in a peaceful corner with beautiful sea views and soft jazz/ballad music. When 'Moon River' comes round for the second time we usually know we've stayed long enough! B-Side now also offers decaf coffee, making it our top choice for an afternoon out. Edited: As of April 2022 they have added a purple shipping container to the patio which is becoming their bakery centre for their existing delicious pretzel bread and cheese bread, and the owner tells me they will be producing croissants (plain, choco, almond) and other goodies to expand the bakery section. Shade sails are up for the summer and you can get striking views from the tables atop the new bakery. Edited: As of May 2022 they have a new menu, with the correct (lower) prices, and fully bilingual in English and Korean - full disclosure, designed and printed by yours truly, as a thank-you for all the pleasant hours spent there. See the latest pictures!

대가족과 함께한 여행 중 가장 만족스러운 장소였습니다. 오션뷰와 함께한 커피와 빵은 당연히 맛있었으며, 친절하고 센스있는 사장님의 응대에 잊지 못할 추억을 남길 수 있었네요.

경치가 예쁘고 운치있어요. 야외테이블과 잔디와 바다의 어울림이 좋아요. 칠포해수욕장과 멀지않아 해수욕후 다녀오기좋았어요. 아쉬운건 토요일이라 그런지 7시까지 영업시간이었다는것. 쥔장님 친절하시고 케잌도 맛있었어요.
