## In short

Ugly Tongue is a smoothie café on the first floor of J Block in Yeonsu, Incheon. After lunch, I tried the ₩16,000 Stress Down and Brain Activation smoothies; both were thick and filling, while Brain Activation was sweeter with a nutty, chewy texture. I found one full smoothie too substantial to treat as a light after-meal drink.

On Sep 4, 2026, the two of us stopped by Ugly Tongue (어글리텅), a café in Songdo, after lunch. We each had a Stress Down and a Brain Activation smoothie, listed at ₩16,000 apiece on the menu.

The smoothies combined fruit with nuts, powders, and other ingredients. Their blue and pink colors stood out, and both were dense and thick when I tried them. Though they cost the same, they differed in sweetness, nuttiness, and chewiness.

## Are there good seats for two?

There was an outdoor area in front of the entrance with camping chairs and a small table. Inside, the décor centered on gray and silver, with seating running opposite the long counter.

There were about four spots for two people. We sat together, drank our smoothies, and chatted. Three chairs lined a long table by the window, so a group of three could consider that spot.

## What is the smoothie texture, and how are they prepared?

The preparation area was open behind the counter, so I could watch the drinks being made. There were containers of ingredients and powders, and I saw ingredients being weighed in a container on a digital scale.

The official website states that the smoothies are made without ice. When I drank them, they did feel closer to a dense blended texture than a slush.

A banner at the entrance said that the café uses microplastic-free containers. Its official website explains that its iced cups are made of PLA.

## How do Stress Down and Brain Activation differ in flavor?

### How sweet and thick is Stress Down?

*A blue Stress Down smoothie held in hand, with the cup’s white logo*

Stress Down contains pineapple, maple syrup, avocado, Greek yogurt, oat milk, peanut butter, banana, and blue spirulina powder. It was not intensely sweet to me, and I especially remember its thick texture, noticeable even in one sip.

I held the blue smoothie against the blue sky, and the colors worked well together, so I took a photo too.

### What flavor and texture does Brain Activation have?

*Stress Down on the left and Brain Activation on the right, held side by side*

Brain Activation contains banana, strawberry, avocado, almonds, walnuts, oat milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, and lion’s mane mushroom powder.

This one was thick as well, but it tasted sweeter and nuttier than Stress Down. Pieces of walnut came through as I drank it, adding texture.

## How filling are they as an after-meal drink?

We visited after lunch, and after finishing one smoothie, I was so full that I could not eat dinner. For me, the portion and thick texture made it considerably filling for something I had thought of as a light after-meal drink.

Both smoothies contain maple syrup, so a less-sweet taste does not mean they are unsweetened. Stress Down contains Greek yogurt and peanut butter, while Brain Activation contains almonds and walnuts, so check before ordering if there are ingredients you avoid.

At ₩16,000 each, the two smoothies were generously portioned and thick, and I remember their different colors and ingredient combinations. If a friend came to Songdo, I would want to buy them one as a way to try an unusual smoothie together.
