Pyeongtaek in a Nutshell

Now Open: Caffè Benne

source

I recently sat down at a new Caffe Bene with a friend, really chic inside. I think it’s my new favorite, primarily because of the post-bop jazz (think Junko Onishi) and the cream cheese gelato. It’s also rare to find a place that plays non-stop jazz, apart from one sake bar downtown. And, completely irrelevant, it has a copy of Murakami’s latest novel, 1Q84, on the bookshelf, reminding me that soon- early 2011 soon- I’ll finally be able to hold the English translation.

Here are the directions, along with a map.  http://www.caffebene.co.kr/main/

If this is too out of the way for you, here are a few more suggestions not to mention, Ti’amo (downtown) or Cafe & Barista (across from the Bul Jip sam’gup’sal restaurant, near the stadium).
