Eating solo at lunchtime, the writer ordered the spicy pork neck poke salad (₩13,000), crispy chicken wrap sandwich (₩7,900), and an almond latte (₩3,800) — generous pork portion, and the wrap stayed interesting thanks to a sweet potato mousse layer. With solo-friendly two-tops up to group tables, it's an easy lunch pick for office workers. ## Good to know - **Location**: 13 Chungjangdae-ro 9beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan (2-min walk from Jungang Station Exit 14) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 09:00–20:00, break time 14:00–16:00 - **Closed**: Saturdays and Sundays - **Parking**: Not available - **Ordered**: Spicy pork neck poke salad ₩13,000 / Crispy chicken wrap sandwich ₩7,900 / Iced almond latte ₩3,800 - **Seating**: 2-person tables, 3–4 person tables, group tables - **Perks**: Naver receipt review event (butter rice cake or strawberry mochi), 10% off first Naver order *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* I had an appointment near Jungang Station, so I stopped by PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch for a solo salad lunch *⸌☻ັ⸍* There are a lot of offices near Jungang Station, so it seems to already be word-of-mouth famous as a lunch spot where busy office workers can eat something healthy and simple — customers kept coming in even after lunchtime. 🥗Salads, poke, wrap sandwiches or burritos, breads, plus drinks and coffee — I love how many options there are! ## Hours, location, parking - ⏰ Hours: Mon–Fri 09:00–20:00 (break time 14:00–16:00), closed every Saturday and Sunday - 📍 Address: 13 Chungjangdae-ro 9beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan - 🅿️ No parking available - 📍 A 2-minute walk from Jungang Station Exit 14, so it's really accessible! ## Outside the shop ![Exterior view of PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-01-emym8-900.webp) I visited right at lunchtime and worried it might be packed, but the place turned out to be pretty spacious~ ## Interior and seating ![Interior of PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-02-ds9fw-900.webp) ![Spacious interior and ordering area](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-03-16ql5-900.webp) There were also a lot of chairs and space for takeout customers to wait comfortably. ![Seating and waiting space for takeout customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-04-k25ok-900.webp) There are two-person tables for solo dining, ![Two-person table seating, good for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-05-5lcji-900.webp) ![3–4 person tables and group table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-06-1irny-900.webp) and of course 3-4 person tables and 👨👩👧👧 group tables too. ## Menu lineup ![Menu board listing salads and poke bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-07-tfewc-900.webp) ![Menu board with wrap sandwiches and burritos](https://img.superchart.com/images/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch/parents-coffee-salad-jungang-solo-lunch-08-2g96k-900.webp) If you're not sure what to get, the menu board has photos to help you decide!
