A Café That Looks Like A Gigantic Vintage Camera
Dreaming Camera (Café Dreamy Camera, Korean: 꿈꾸는 사진기) is the family-run coffeehouse located in Yangpyeong County, east of Seoul. It was built by a former air-force helicopter pilot with a passion for photography. This unusually big camera coffee shop has been his dream for several years and it finally came true when he built it right next door to the family house.
Two stories high with panoramic and round windows, this surreal place definitely stands out. Besides having some coffee, many people would enjoy meeting the family of owners, living their dream.

UnusualPlaces Field Notes
- Location
- Dreamy Camera Cafe (Kkumkkuneun Sajingi), 35 Hansol-gil, Jungwon-ri, Yongmun-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
- Coordinates
- 37.53665, 127.621466
- Access
- Dreamy Camera Cafe is at 35 Hansol-gil, Jungwon-ri, Yangpyeong-gun. A visitor review describes the subway trip from Seoul as about 1.5–2 hours; actual journey time depends on your starting point and connections, so check the route before going.
- Admission
- No separate entrance charge is listed. DiningCode currently lists the café’s “bucket list” dream-writing activity as free and espresso at ₩4,000; food and drink are purchased separately, and menu prices can change.
- Time needed
- There is no official visit-time estimate. A 2016 itinerary allots about two hours at the cafe, and a TripAdvisor visitor reported staying nearly 1.5 hours. Plan roughly 1–2 hours if you want time for a drink, photos and the view; this is a visitor-based planning estimate, not a required stay.
- Best season
- No preferred season is published. The cafe is mainly an indoor visit, so choose a season that suits your Yangpyeong travel plans and check current transport and opening hours; this is not a claim that any season is officially recommended.
- Opening hours
- Current local listings (Triple and Waze) show Tuesday–Saturday, 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.; a 2024 Stars and Stripes report gives the same schedule. Tripadvisor currently displays conflicting longer daily hours. No official current schedule was found, so call +82 31-771-3264 before a special trip; do not rely on the conflicting longer hours.
