피스커피랩 Piseu Keopi Raep Croffles and camel-roasted coffee in a converted old house in Dongmyeong-dong, open until midnight

Compiled from 29 blog posts read in fullSources →

Peace Coffee Lab occupies a two-storey house, old and left looking it, down a lane in Dongmyeong-dong, Gwangju. The room runs on a conceit — a village after the war has ended — and the shell of the house has been kept and filled with vintage furniture brought in from abroad. Two things are sold here: croffles, ironed to order, and coffee from beans brought down from camel in Seongsu, Seoul. It opens at noon and runs until midnight, every day of the year, which in this neighbourhood is rare. There is no car park. The same owner runs two other cafés nearby. The posts we read run from May to September 2026.

What sets it apart

There are four places to sit here, and which one you choose changes the café more than it should. Ground floor inside, ground floor terrace, upstairs inside, upstairs terrace — twenty-two posts mention a terrace, twenty mention the first floor. The disagreements are the useful part: one writer finds the ground floor deliberately dim and the upstairs brighter and more to her taste; another says upstairs is far quieter; a third that upstairs is small with few tables. Two note that when the folding doors are open the ground floor reads as one room with the terrace. Five writers describe walking the building before deciding where to sit.
The croffles are why people come. One post counts seventeen kinds; across the twenty-nine we read, ten were actually ordered — glazed, castella, Lotus, Oreo and churros on the sweet side, and classic sandwich, pizza, ham-and-cheese, garlic and potato as something closer to a meal. Five posts pass on the shop's line about a French croissant dough underneath. Seventeen describe the same crisp shell over a chewy middle, and three write down the sound the knife makes. Some can be split half-and-half; not all of them can.
The croffles are made after you order, not before. Six posts describe them arriving hot off the iron, and that costs time: one waited fifteen to twenty minutes, another simply notes it takes a while because they start when you ask. Two say the drinks come out first. What you buy with the wait is a warm one — and all four writers who tell you to add the ice cream are talking about that contrast.
The air conditioning runs hard in summer. Three posts say so, and two of them give the same remedy: ask at the counter and they will bring you a blanket. One writer likes the cold but admits it defeats her if she stays long — which people do here; two describe coming to work.

1 more

Five writers had been before; seventeen say they will come again. The returners are the specific ones: one on her third visit, one who knew it before the refit and was seeing the new room for the first time, one who found the owner had changed the interior again since last time. Three separate posts note that the place keeps changing. Those promising to return mostly give the same reason — four of them intend to work through the croffle list one at a time.

클래식 샌드위치 크로플3 ate it
Classic sandwich croffle₩11,000
A croffle built as a sandwich — ham, cheese and rocket, chipotle mayo inside and garlic mayo over the top. Three posts ate it
Two September 2026 posts give ₩11,000. One writer found the chipotle mayo hotter than expected and read it as a proper meal; another ate it as brunch. **This is the one to order if you do not want a sweet croffle.**
피자 크로플1 ate it
Pizza croffle
A savoury croffle with a ketchup-based sauce, ham and cheese. One post ate it
**No post gives a price.** The one writer who ordered it expected the combination to be odd and found it worked; he adds that the cheese and ham get heavy, and the pink lemon soda cuts through
햄치즈 크로플1 ate it
Ham and cheese croffle
Another of the savoury croffles. One post ate it
**No post gives a price.** The writer who had it was dithering over the list when **the owner asked whether she had eaten and steered her to this one** — worth asking if you arrive hungry

15 more dishes

카스테라 크로플4 ate it
Castella croffle₩10,000
A croffle buried in castella crumbs with cream and apple jam through the middle. Four posts ate it
Three September 2026 posts give ₩10,000. **Three are startled by the size** — 'as big as a pork cutlet', 'too much for two, order it for three or four', 'genuinely large for the price'. One waited fifteen to twenty minutes while it was made. **Three say to add the ice cream** (₩2,000).
아이스크림 (컵)3 ate it
Ice cream by the cup₩8,000
Ice cream sold in its own right, apart from the croffles: strawberry-chocolate, and almond-cranberry. Three posts ate it
A September 2026 post gives ₩8,000 for the strawberry one. **Two writers, unknown to each other, independently compare it to the same Korean chocolate-and-strawberry ice lolly.** The almond-cranberry is described as nutty with flakes and berries through it
츄러스 크로플2 ate it
Churros croffle
A croffle dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Two posts ate it
**No post gives a price.** One writer describes the crack as the knife goes in, and says it tastes exactly like the churros of a childhood theme park
로투스 크로플2 ate it
Lotus croffle₩10,000
A croffle heaped with crushed Lotus biscuit. Two posts ate it
A September 2026 post gives ₩10,000. The topping comes piled on, and the butter carries it; one pair found it filling between two. One family's child picks this one every time
기본 크로플 · 오레오 크로플2 ate it
Plain and Oreo croffles
The unadorned one, and the one under crushed Oreo. One post each
**No post gives a price.** The one who ordered plain added ice cream and reports two whole pieces arriving, with a strong smell of butter. Several posts list the rest of the board — kaya butter, garlic, potato, cinnamon and more
반반 크로플2 ate it
Half-and-half croffle₩10,000
Two flavours to one plate. Two posts had it — one a kaya-and-custard split, the other unnamed
An August 2026 post gives ₩10,000. **Not every flavour can be halved**, one writer warns, so ask when you order. Another describes the cold ice cream melting into it straight out of the iron

아메리카노10 ate it
Americano₩5,500
The most-ordered drink — ten posts had one. **Three posts say the beans come from camel in Seongsu, Seoul.**
Four posts give ₩5,500, unchanged across May, August and September 2026. **The acidity divides people**: two describe a moderate acidity that never gets loud, another says simply that it is strong and good, a fourth that it is an ordinary cup. **Two posts note that ₩500 switches any drink to decaf.**
피스커피7 ate it
Peace Coffee₩6,000 · ₩6,500
The signature latte, named for the shop. Seven posts drank it. **One post notes you choose whether it comes with cream on top.**
**The one price anyone disagrees about**: a 22 September post says ₩6,000, posts from the 25th and 26th say ₩6,500. Three days apart, and we cannot say which stands. Writers describe it as a sweet, nutty latte. The cream-topped **Peace Cream Latte (₩6,500)** reads as an einspänner, and one writer found it too sweet
밤 라떼6 ate it
Chestnut latte₩7,000
The non-coffee signature: cream, cinnamon and chopped nuts on top. Six posts drank it
Six posts all give ₩7,000, all from September 2026. **Three independently compare it to the same chestnut ice lolly.** One notes it stops short of cloying. Another copies the menu's own line — 'It's okay, it's non-coffee' — which is the point: **this is what people order late.**
시나몬 라떼5 ate it
Cinnamon latte₩7,000
A latte under cream, sugar and cinnamon. Five posts drank it
Three posts give ₩7,000, from August and September 2026. **Whether you taste the cinnamon is contested**: one gets a mouthful of it in a strong cup, another says the cinnamon barely registers and it reads as a bittersweet cream latte. One calls it very sweet; one calls it the drink everyone is ordering
핑크레몬소다 (PLS)5 ate it
Pink Lemon Soda₩7,000
House lemon syrup, soda and a hibiscus infusion, layered in three. Five posts drank it
A September 2026 post gives ₩7,000. **Stir it properly before you drink.** One writer did not, wondered why it tasted of water, and found it a different drink once mixed. Three others say its dryness is what makes it work against the sweet croffles
차 (매실차·캐모마일·자몽에이드)3 ate it
Teas and ades₩6,500
What is left when you want neither coffee nor a signature. Three posts: a plum tea for a child, a camomile, a grapefruit ade
An August 2026 post gives ₩6,500 for the plum tea, and a menu copied into another post lists orange and apple ade at the same price. The grapefruit ade is praised mainly for looking right on the terrace. **Nobody writes much about how any of them taste.**
버터토치 라떼 (버터크림 라떼)2 ate it
Torched butter latte
A latte whose cream is finished with a blowtorch. Two posts drank it
**No post gives a price.** One writer describes something close to crème brûlée under the torched top, and recommends it specifically to people who do not drink coffee
LOVE · O.M.G (논커피 시그니처)2 ate it
LOVE and O.M.G₩6,500
Two non-coffee drinks listed by name alone, so you find out by ordering. One post had both
A September 2026 post gives ₩6,500 for LOVE. From the one writer who ordered them: **O.M.G is omija and mint** — more mint than omija — and **LOVE, whose entire menu description is the word 'refreshing,,'**, turned out sweeter than expected, somewhere between green grape and mint. **A separate post complains that the menu carries neither photos nor descriptions**, so the signatures and teas all have to be asked about
망고 라떼 · 초콜릿 라떼2 ate it
Mango and chocolate lattes
The sweet non-coffee end of the list. One post each
**No post gives a price.** Both writers remark on the size: the mango latte arrived far bigger than expected and felt like value; the chocolate one was large enough to be worth noting for the neighbourhood

Parking

16 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

Posts saying you cannot	16 of 29 posts

There is no car park. Sixteen posts say so — the single most repeated fact about this place. What they suggest instead does not agree: three point to the Asia Culture Centre's underground car park, three to a public lot, four to the lane itself, one to a church car park. Only two say how far the walk is — five minutes from the ACC, or ten to fifteen from a public lot further out. The café is down a lane, so however you arrive you finish on foot.

From the station

1 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

Second floor	20 of 29 posts
Toilet inside	7 of 29 posts
Separate restrooms	yes 0 · no 1 (of 29 posts read)

Getting upstairs means going outside and up a staircase. Three posts describe the route — out through the terrace, along the outside passage, up the open-air stairs. Not one mentions a lift. Three writers did not make it up: one because of her knee, one because it was raining, one who simply did not. Two more say people miss the first floor entirely and leave having seen only the ground floor. How many steps there are, and whether there is a handrail, nobody says.

Not one of the twenty-nine posts mentions a step, a ramp or a wheelchair — which is a gap worth naming, because this is a converted old house down a lane. Two writers came with a child, and one of them notes that getting in with the child was fine but there are no high chairs; even she does not say whether a pushchair fits. The upstairs is reachable only by the outdoor staircase.

The lavatory is inside — seven posts say so, one of them relieved not to have to leave the building. But one post says it is unisex ('lock the door properly'), and another describes the layout: the basin is outside, with the lavatory itself partitioned off behind it. On cleanliness they split: two call it well kept, while a third writes that it was not exactly spotless, not unusable either, and could do with more attention.

No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

Exactly one post describes getting here by rail — about 588 metres from exit 4 at Asia Culture Center station. Nobody came by bus, and nobody times the walk. The other twenty-eight are either discussing where to leave a car or simply say they had eaten nearby and walked over, which is the common pattern: eight arrive here as the second stop of an evening.
Nobody reports queuing, but somebody reports not finding a seat. One writer had trouble on a weekend and deliberately came back on a weekday, which she recommends. Two others describe the room filling — one on a quiet weekday afternoon, one steadily through the evening. No post mentions a waiting area. Between the midnight closing and the four separate seating areas, nobody in these posts stood around.
Seventeen of the thirty posts went up inside twelve days, between 15 and 27 September 2026. A review campaign ran in that window: one writer states she came through a review agency, another tags her information block 'sponsored'. The other fifteen say nothing either way. We counted all seventeen anyway — the orders differ, the hashtag blocks differ, and above all they contain the things a commissioned draft does not write down: that the rain kept her off the terrace, that her knee kept her off the first floor, that the lavatory was not spotless, that the drink tasted of water until she stirred it, that the menu has no descriptions so everything had to be asked. One thing to hold in mind, though: twelve days is one season. Every terrace in these posts is an early-autumn terrace, and what this place is like in winter or spring, we do not know. Two writers state they paid their own way.
There is more than one of these within walking distance. The café on this page is the first branch — two posts say so explicitly. The same owner runs Passed Comptoir and Peaceful House a few lanes away, and two writers refer to a second and third branch. One of them ranks them by feel: the first for its mood, the second for its atmosphere, the third as the most fashionable. Go by the address rather than the name — all of them are close enough to walk between.
