They mainly serve brunch, with plenty of coffee and drinks too. There are three bean options, so you can pick based on your taste. We ordered drip coffee (Ethiopian), matcha lemonade, grilled mushroom toast, and avocado toast. ![Bean selection guide at the brunch café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-07-1bott-900.webp) ## Self-bar and seating on the 2nd floor Head up to the 2nd floor and you'll find water, plates, tissues all set up — plus blankets in case you get chilly! (The AC's been so cold lately that blankets matter a lot to me, haha.) Everything was neatly arranged. ![Water, plates, and tissues at the 2nd floor self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-08-xxsgx-900.webp) ![Blankets prepared at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-09-1pbva-900.webp) This is the 2nd floor. Great atmosphere, right? Besides the window-facing seats for two, there are also tables for groups. The spacing between seats is comfortable, and the tables are wide enough that you can order several dishes without feeling cramped. ![2nd floor seating at Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-10-10msc-900.webp) ## Matcha lemonade and Ethiopian drip coffee The drinks came out first. The iced drip coffee came with a little info card explaining which beans were used. ![Iced drip coffee served with a bean info card](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-11-192tm-900.webp) The matcha lemonade I ordered needs a good stir before drinking — the tangy-sweet lemonade underneath gets topped with a strong matcha flavor, and the combination was lovely. Especially the refreshing + bitter pairing worked really well. It's a great drink for cleansing your palate alongside a sandwich that could otherwise feel heavy. My mom picked the iced drip coffee, and the Ethiopian beans, with their balance of nuttiness and acidity, were roasted and ground just right — delicious. We each took a sip and went 'oh, this is good,' slurping it down together ☕️ ![Matcha lemonade and iced drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-12-1hb9q-1200.webp) ## Grilled mushroom toast, with a gorgeous edible flower look The sandwiches arrived too! Loaded generously with ingredients. And the visuals were so pretty. The edible flowers on top looked like blooms scattered in grass — perfect for photos 🤳 ![Two plates of toast topped with edible flowers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-13-vq2at-900.webp) First, the grilled mushroom sandwich. The mushrooms were golden-brown, richly grilled, and piled on generously without holding back. The mushrooms' chewiness plus the well-seasoned bread struck a perfect balance. There was also a special sauce spread on the bread, which added just the right umami kick. ![Grilled mushroom toast piled high with mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-14-1lp11-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the grilled mushroom toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-15-m2dr4-900.webp) And the toppings really don't hold back! Even by the last bite of bread, there was no shortage of toppings — we ate it all up happily. ![Plate of grilled mushroom toast with toppings still remaining](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-16-1n1ou-900.webp) ## Avocado toast: ripeness is everything The avocado sandwich! I love avocado, so I ordered this one with high expectations — and it exceeded them. First off, the avocado was fresh and perfectly ripened! And there was so much of it that I got to enjoy avocado to my heart's content. The creamy, smooth texture paired beautifully with the nutty grilled bread. A light squeeze of lemon juice added freshness, and you could also taste the umami from the special sauce. ![Avocado toast piled high with avocado](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-17-6ahhs-900.webp) ![Close-up of the avocado toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast/gwangalli-brunch-ethiopian-drip-flower-toast-18-9mgh5-900.webp) ## Wrap-up It was a satisfying, healthy meal, and the avocado especially was so perfectly ripe that I enjoyed every bite without any issues. You could tell the drinks were made with care and the food used fresh ingredients, and the cozy space was great for conversation.
