Weekday Yangsan brunch café with mom: mushroom toast, Famous Venny

On a crisp, lovely autumn weekday, I took my mom to one of the hot spots in Mulgeum, Yangsan, for a proper brunch. The place is said to capture the relaxed, healthy brunch culture of Australia, and it's the specialty coffee & brunch café Famous Venny (페이머스베니, written "Famous Benny" in the original) in Yangsan Oslo Park. Even on a weekday it was pretty packed, so let me walk you through an honest review of what we tasted together! 😊

What's the atmosphere like on a weekday lunch?

Famous Venny has a cozy, stylish wood-toned interior, and even around 12 on a weekday it was fairly busy with brunch customers. Stepping inside, the warm wood tones were easy on the eyes. The space is so tastefully and snugly put together that it was a perfect setting for sitting side by side with my mom, chatting away and relaxing.

What we ordered for two, and the prices

The two of us ordered Dukes bean drip coffee (hot, ₩6,000), egg-in-hell (₩15,000), grilled mushroom toast (₩16,000) and an acai bowl (₩9,000). The place takes its coffee seriously, so we got the drip coffee made with Dukes, an Australian specialty coffee bean, and we tucked into three generous brunch dishes.

☕ Dukes drip coffee (₩6,000, hot)

The Dukes drip coffee at Famous Venny was fragrant and full-bodied, with a clean finish. A perfectly balanced pairing for brunch!

🍳 Egg-in-hell (₩15,000)

The egg-in-hell (eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce) had a spicy sauce with real depth. The toast that comes with it was seriously good, and my mom couldn't stop praising it. Dunking the bread into plenty of sauce was pure bliss.

🍄 Grilled mushroom toast (₩16,000)

In the grilled mushroom toast, the flavor and texture of nicely grilled mushrooms matched crispy toast incredibly well. You can taste the natural freshness of the ingredients, and it felt like a textbook Australian-style brunch.

🍓 Acai bowl (₩9,000)

We ordered the acai bowl to freshen up our mouths after the meal. It came loaded with fresh banana and other ingredients, and it wasn't overly sweet, just healthy and tasty.

Not too sweet and clean, perfect to finish with.

That's what my mom said, and she really loved it. There wasn't a single disappointing dish, and the two of us cleaned every plate down to the bottom, so it was a truly satisfying meal.

How does the takeout discount after eating work?

If you eat at Famous Venny Yangsan Oslo Park Branch and then take a coffee to go, you get ₩2,000 off. On the way out I added an americano to go, and thanks to the discount it was in the ₩3,000 range, such good value, and I walked out happily with a clean iced americano in hand! Thanks to the 2 hours of Oslo Park parking, we could also stroll around leisurely without worrying about parking fees.

💖 Overall verdict

Just like Famous Venny's slogan, "A good morning makes a good day," the heartfelt Australian-style brunch and excellent coffee gave my mom and me a bright, happy daytime date.
