Day 11am-3pm. Closed Monday.

The Buoy Cafe

Start your day gently with Buoy Cafe.
Our menu honors the comfort of Korean flavors with a modern touch—think roll cakes made with rice flour, drinks infused with ssuk, and just the right amount of sweetness. While we stay true to our gluten-free roots, some items may contain flour for texture—feel free to ask. Whether you’re here to work, catch up, or pause between errands, Buoy Cafe is your calm, warm spot in the city.
