At Cafe Certo, the star of the show is undoubtedly the coffee, praised by locals and visitors for its remarkable flavor. As one customer, M Carter, noted, "It's still the best place to get excellent coffee in Taebaek." Brewed with care and precision, each cup promises an exquisite experience that awakens your senses and warms your heart. Pair your caffeine fix with their scrumptious homemade gelato, a treat that garnered rave reviews for its rich, creamy texture and delightful flavor—just what you need to cool down after a day of adventure.

리조트에 놀러갔다가 방문하였습니다. 주차공간은 카페 바로 옆 8~9대정도 댈수 있는 공간이 있었고 구정연휴기간 방문하였는데 주차공간이 부족하진 않았습니다. 메뉴가 굉장히 다양했고 가격도 저렴한 편이었습니다(수도권과 비교 하였을 때) 제가 도전한 메뉴는 제 입맛에는 잘 맞지 않았지만 젤라또도 맛나고 동료들이 시킨 메뉴 전부 괜찮았습니다^^
