Brunch at Dento was bite-size open sandwiches, tomato soup and an iced drip coffee, and the menu even lists an Aperol Spritz. Dento has no parking lot of its own, so cars squeeze into the alley beside the café or nearby streets, but it is an easy pick if you are around Bongdeok-dong and want a café with something light to eat. ## Good to know - **Address**: 42-5 Bongsanmunhwa2-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Daegu (Bongsan-dong 136-50) - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–20:00, last order 19:00 - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; park in the alley beside the café - **What I ordered**: Bite-size open sandwiches, tomato soup, iced drip coffee - **Sandwich lineup**: Pan con tomate / avocado salmon / romesco roasted vegetables / shrimp rémoulade / truffle ricotta *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* I had errands in Bongdeok-dong and stumbled onto this good-vibe café called Dento, so I stopped in for brunch. ## Where Dento is and when it opens Café Dento is at 42-5 Bongsanmunhwa2-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea (Bongsan-dong 136-50), open daily from 10:00 to 20:00 with last order at 19:00.

There's an alley beside the café where you can park, but when I arrived around lunchtime other cars had already taken it, so I found a spot nearby on my own. ![The alley beside Dento café](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-05-77cb2-900.webp) ![Dento's interior in vintage orange tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-06-173xj-900.webp) ![Old-town-style seating inside Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-07-xoucf-900.webp) ![Décor and lighting inside Dento café](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-08-ab6z6-900.webp) ![Wall and table setup at Dento café](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-09-1eudw-900.webp) ![Dento's European alley brick-toned space](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-10-176gw-900.webp) The dark vintage orange tones throughout give off a European alley brick-wall feel, making the whole place feel like a vintage old-town café. ![Brunch table setting at Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-11-1y5nf-900.webp) ## Five bite-size open sandwiches that don't mess up your hands Dento's bite-size open sandwiches, from right to left, are pan con tomate / avocado salmon / romesco roasted vegetables / shrimp rémoulade / truffle ricotta. Regular sandwiches can be big and messy on your hands and mouth, but these finger-food-style bites were clean to eat, and having five different types meant I could enjoy a range of flavors. ![Plate of Dento's five bite-size open sandwiches](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-12-1bij1-1200.webp) They explained it like a course meal — eat from right to left, where the flavors and aromas get progressively stronger. Each one tasted and smelled distinct, so it was fun to savor each ingredient separately. ![Bite-size sandwiches arranged in course order](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-13-1yvek-900.webp) ![Avocado salmon and shrimp rémoulade bite-size sandwiches](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-14-urabm-900.webp) My personal pick was the truffle ricotta sandwich, eaten last. The truffle aroma was so good I felt like I could've eaten five of them 👍 ![Close-up of the truffle ricotta bite-size sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-15-4f4y5-900.webp) ![A bowl of Dento's tomato soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-16-zb9x4-900.webp) ## How Dento's tomato soup tastes: mild, not sharp Dento's tomato soup was warm, smooth, and comforting. It had that fresh tomato tang without being too strong, so it worked well as a starter and paired nicely with the sandwiches. If you like bread or sandwiches with soup, this combo would be very satisfying. ![Brunch spread of bite-size sandwiches and tomato soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-17-v89vi-760.webp) Eating the bite-size sandwiches together with the tomato soup and iced drip coffee felt like a proper light brunch. If you're around Bongdeok-dong looking for a café with more than just coffee — one that also has something light to eat — I'd recommend it! ![A cup of Dento's iced drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol-18-1ep1x-900.webp) ## Iced drip coffee and what I'd order next time Dento's iced drip coffee was cleanly brewed, pairing well with the food, and felt suited to those who want a light taste of the beans rather than something intense. I liked the calm, cozy atmosphere so much that next time I'd like to try a different coffee along with another brunch item. ## Where it is - Dento (덴토) - 42-5 Bongsanmunhwa2-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 봉산문화2길 42-5 1층 - 35.8638986, 128.5973758 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%B4%ED%86%A0/@35.8638986,128.5973758,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bukseong-window-brew/dento-daegu-bongsan-brunch-parking-aperol/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
