Dong Daegu café brunch with cream pasta: Hands Coffee

I visited Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch (핸즈커피 동촌유원지점) for brunch at Dongchon Resort. In its spacious four-story space, I enjoyed pasta, jambon-beurre, and coffee while looking out at the view.

Where is it, and how was parking?

The café is at 5-6 Hyodong-ro 6-gil in Dong-gu, Daegu. It is listed as 778 m from Exit 2 of Dongchon Station, and parking was easy when I visited. The hours listed in the original post are 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily, open year-round.

Is it a good space for a group?

When I first arrived, the café's four-story scale immediately stood out.

The floor guide in the elevator showed that ordering is on the second floor, while seating and restrooms are on the third and fourth floors. There is also a rooftop on the fourth floor, making the layout feel spacious.

The décor had a classic feel, and the large seats made it easy to sit comfortably. With its roomy interior and group seating, it looked well suited to gathering with several people.

What comes with Brunch Set B?

The menu included creamy mushroom pasta, paccheri cream pasta, soft jambon-beurre, jalapeño jambon-beurre, and chicken granola salad.

I ordered Set B from the Double Tray Hands Brunch sets, which were introduced as available only at this café during my visit. It came with a choice between creamy mushroom pasta and paccheri cream pasta, along with a soft jambon-beurre. We chose the mushroom cream pasta.

The brunch was served on a double tray. It was attractively arranged, so I took photos before eating. Old-fashioned red bean patbingsu (shaved ice dessert) and old-fashioned matcha bingsu were also on the dessert menu, but I did not try them this time.

How were the jambon-beurre and mushroom cream pasta?

The jambon-beurre had a rich ham-and-butter flavor while remaining mild rather than salty. The bread was crisp outside and moist inside, which gave it a pleasant texture.

The mushroom cream pasta had a smooth, savory sauce. It had a subtle mushroom aroma and, for my taste, was not too rich, so it was easy to finish.

The coffee we had alongside it was strongly aromatic and clean-tasting. Looking out over Dongchon Resort, I was able to enjoy the brunch and coffee at a relaxed pace.

What kind of gathering does it suit?

The ample seating and convenient parking stayed with me, so it felt like a good place for several people to gather over brunch. It would also suit a meal and coffee while taking in the Dongchon Resort view.
