Korean drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha had us imagining retreats to quaint seaside villages. While Singapore’s urban cityscape is a far cry from Korean seaside towns, there’s a little café not too far away that gives off a similar charming vibe.
Located in Johor, Yard & Co is a seaside café that serves desserts such as waffles and mochi.

Even if South Korea’s coastal cities are thousands of miles away, this café will let you experience a similar vibe much closer to home.

It also bears a resemblance to Busan’s gorgeous coastal establishments, but again, is a lot easier to travel to.
If you prefer to sip your coffee in the great outdoors, then Yard & Co is the perfect place to be.
