Order on the 1st floor, sit on the 2nd floor
Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch is split into a 1st and 2nd floor — you can actually head straight up to the 2nd floor too, haha!
There's seating on the 1st floor too, and you order there — then feel free to head up to the 2nd floor to enjoy it.
Last time I visited during brunch hours there was a wait, but I came a bit later today and it was quiet.
The wood-toned interior feels upscale yet warm, giving this Gwangalli café a lovely, atmospheric vibe 💕
Water dispenser, side plates, tissues, wet wipes — all set up and ready.
What we ordered at Famous Benny and what it cost
At Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch we ordered three drinks, two brunch plates, and one side. Iced Americano ₩5,500, vanilla latte switched to decaf ₩7,500, blueberry ade ₩6,500, The Famous Benny (salmon) ₩18,000, rocket cheese toast ₩9,000, scrambled eggs ₩3,000 ✅️
They brought the coffee and drinks over themselves. Famous Benny has this system where you wait after ordering and they bring everything to you and clear it themselves — a little unusual but genuinely convenient! Cafés like this are precious, honestly there are barely any left, haha.
Iced Americano with Melbourne-roasted beans, ₩5,500
The iced Americano I ordered uses beans roasted in Melbourne, apparently! Ooh~ Bittersweet and nutty, it paired really well with brunch.
A blend with rich body and a good balance of sweetness. Bold flavor and sweetness that blend well with milk in white lattes, and it also works well as a black coffee with weighty, vivid flavor that lingers smoothly. A soft, easygoing blend you can enjoy any time.
Vanilla latte switched to decaf, ₩7,500
Mom didn't want trouble sleeping so we switched to decaf beans! Sweetness, hazelnut and candy notes, and smooth all through the mouth. It was really soft, with a subtle vanilla scent, just the right sweetness, and a delicious nutty milkiness.
The decaf lot green beans are dry milled and shipped to the US before being transported to Swiss Water's state-of-the-art decaffeination facility in Vancouver, Canada. There, the Swiss Water team uses their proprietary Swiss Water Process to cleanly decaffeinate the green beans without any chemicals or solvents, preserving the coffee's traceability and organic integrity.
Blueberry ade, ₩6,500
A sweet, refreshing blueberry ade. Fully carbonated, fizzy and popping. The burgundy color also gives off serious autumn vibes hahahaha. There were so many blueberries you could actually bite into — so tasty!
What does The Famous Benny salmon taste like?
This is by far the tastiest, The Famous Benny's signature dish 🥐 Crisp outside, tender inside, with the texture holding up nicely and a great buttery flavor.
The salmon's soft, clean flavor made for a brunch with a different kind of appeal, and its signature nuttiness was delicious.
Well-ripened avocado 🥑 Soft, creamy texture. Its clean, subtle nuttiness paired well with the rest of the brunch dishes ✔️
The soft-boiled egg bursts out for double the nuttiness — genuinely great with an iced Americano 💕
Rocket cheese toast with added scrambled eggs
We added a rocket cheese toast for ₩9,000 and scrambled eggs for ₩3,000.
A brunch dish with crisply grilled, clean-tasting toast, savory cheese, and a generous pile of fresh rocket. It went really well with the latte. The nuts you'd occasionally bite into were a nice touch. A dish that thinks about health too, so it was easy to enjoy without any guilt 🍃
The scrambled eggs we added on were sweet and soft — delicious even on their own, and great eaten with the bread too. I'm thinking of trying to make these at home haha.
Is Famous Benny Gwangalli worth a visit?
From the brunch dishes to the coffee and drinks, every detail felt thoughtfully made at this Gwangalli café, Famous Benny 🩷 A brunch café that nails the atmosphere, the menu lineup, and the taste all at once — a relaxed café that's hard to find in Gwangalli. Left feeling well and truly recharged 🍃
