This Basket Café On Jeju Island Is A Chic Container In A Mandarin Orange Paradise
Jeju Island conjures images of cliffs overlooking the ocean and memories of popular Korean dramas like Secret Garden and Boys Over Flowers.
Enjoying the beach isn’t the only thing you can do in this destination, because we’ve recently discovered that it’s a mandarin orange paradise too.
Café the Container is a basket café that’s surrounded by a lush plantation of mandarin oranges. As its appearance suggests, you can pick mandarin oranges and store them in baskets.
This largely unknown destination will put your past café experiences to shame, so here’s why you need to add it to your bucket list.
Orange container café on Jeju Island shaped like a basket
The café’s exterior accurately mimics the appearance of an orange basket.
The humble establishment is surrounded by a lush green plantation of mandarin oranges. So, if you wanted to taste fresh tangerines, then this is the place to be.
You might’ve loved cafes with sweet frappuccinos, but pretty soon you’ll be tempted to spend the afternoon grabbing oranges instead.
Feel free to wander on the fields then relish the simplicity of the island life.
Comfortable interior
Guests can enter the café by entering a hidden door in the basket from the upper floor.
The café’s interior features glass windows that let you enjoy the peaceful scenery and escape your busy life back home.
Those who are tired of exploring the beach and various destinations in Jeju Island can take a break by lounging in these comfortable sofas.
Guests can get a complete overview of the massive plantation and surrounding forests from the upper floor. If you reach the end of the path, then maybe you’ll find a gorgeous seaside view.
You can even walk to the balcony and enjoy the cool breeze for hours on end.
Fruit juice, tea, & coffee
The café offers coffee, tea and fruit juice that is priced around S$5.80 (5,000 won) to S$8.15 (7,000 won).
Their mandarin orange juice is topped with a slice of orange. We bet it’s freshly-picked from the fields, so we’re curious to discover the taste of this healthy drink for S$8.15 (7,000 won).
Meanwhile, coffee aficionados can start the day right with a strawberry latte from S$7 (6,000 won).
For a truly unique experience, enjoy the refreshing drinks with your friends near thriving crops.
Before you leave, make sure to pack some mandarin oranges. We rarely get the opportunity to enjoy freshly-picked produce.
