CAFEYOM is a small neighborhood cafe in an alley near Seorak Orthopedic Clinic in Sokcho. The owner is planning a space where young people can come and go freely and get help preparing for independence. For a first visit, try the brioche toast, which the owner says is the cafe’s most-ordered toast.

Pro tip: On Thursdays and Fridays, the cafe closes at 5 p.m. On other days, it stays open until midnight.

## Story

### How it started
Before running the cafe, the owner managed a book scholarship program at the Seorak Cultural Foundation. A coffee teacher encouraged the owner to start working at a cafe, and the owner later became a business owner. The cafe had already been set up when the owner joined, with plans to stay for only a few months. After more than two years of running it, the owner’s goals gradually became clearer.

### Philosophy
The owner hopes to help young people access coffee training or connect with related fields if they want to. At first, the plan was to wait for sales to grow before trying. Instead, the owner is now looking into support programs from Sokcho City and Gangwon Province, while still considering which programs might help.

### Signature
Yom Sandwich was the first dessert the owner created, named after the cafe. The owner describes it as a simple, sandwich-like item.

### Finding the place
CAFEYOM is on the first floor at 4207 Donghae-daero. The owner says the space is small enough to work alone, but also makes it easy to have plenty of conversations with customers.

### For international visitors
The owner says groups of foreign visitors often come for brunch on weekend mornings. Once, some visitors asked for directions to the terminal, and the owner drove them there. They returned to the cafe the next day.
