Jeonpo Cafe Street
East of Seomyeon, former hardware and tool-trading lanes have become a cluster of independent cafes, dessert shops and small boutiques. Jeonpo Cafe Street is a network of lived-in streets rather than one pedestrian-only road; Norimaru arts venue at 26 Jeonpo-daero 209beon-gil is a useful concrete landmark for October's festival.

Petr Meissner / Wikimedia CommonsSources & further readingThe 10th Jeonpo Coffee Festival takes place Oct 17 (Sat noon–8pm) and Oct 18 (Sun noon–6pm), 2026, around Jeonpo Cafe Street and Norimaru (26 Jeonpo-daero 209beon-gil). Opening ceremony: Oct 17 at 4pm. Coffee/dessert stalls, international coffee introductions, tastings, barista activities and a stamp tour are announced. Use Jeonpo Station Exit 7; the venue also lists Seomyeon as roughly 10 minutes on foot and discourages private-car parking. Free street-area entry does not make drinks or individual experiences free. Exact class registration and traffic controls are unconfirmed; the Oct 15–18 BEXCO Busan Cafe Show is separate.
Why go
Start near Jeonpo Station Exit 7 on Metro Line 2 and browse the side streets around Norimaru and the former tool-trading lanes. You can also walk from Seomyeon, but the entire Seomyeon area is not the festival venue. Expect narrow streets that can still carry traffic; individual shops have different opening hours, queues and restroom arrangements.
