9am brunch café in Pangyo, chicken vegetable stew: Eight Years

Do you all eat breakfast? For busy modern people, breakfast is hard to keep up with, and eating something greasy outside can feel like too much. If you love a healthy, delicious well-being brunch like I do, you really need to pay attention to today's post.

Today I want to introduce the Pangyo brunch spot I love most and visit constantly — my regular haunt, Eight Years Pangyo. It's one of the few brunch cafés in Pangyo that opens at 9am, so among early risers like me, it's already well known.

The earliest brunch in Pangyo: Eight Years opens at 9am

Eight Years Pangyo opens every day at 9am. It's genuinely hard to find a brunch spot near Pangyo that opens this early. Maybe that's why it's always packed, on weekday mornings and weekend mornings alike. The day I visited, it was already full and I waited about 20 minutes. But standing there breathing in the healthy smell of bread and coffee wafting out front, I decided the wait was worth it.

If I, a regular, had to sum up in one word why people line up here, it would be 'healthiness.' This isn't just food to fill your stomach — it's real well-being brunch that leaves you feeling lighter and even happier after eating.

Four dishes a regular orders at Eight Years Pangyo

I ordered four dishes today.

• Chicken vegetable stew
• Chicken brunch
• Avocado chicken ciabatta sandwich
• Gnocchi penne cream pasta

Seeing the table filled with food makes my mouth water all over again.

Chicken brunch plate

Next is the chicken brunch that regulars never skip. Chicken breast and fresh salad come together in perfect balance, giving you protein and fiber in one dish — a complete nutritional lineup.

Avocado chicken ciabatta sandwich

You can really tell they don't skimp on ingredients with the avocado chicken ciabatta sandwich. The softness of perfectly ripe avocado plus the chewy texture of ciabatta feels like a party going on in your mouth.

Gnocchi penne cream pasta

Last, the gnocchi penne cream pasta added some hearty substance, and I liked that the cream sauce wasn't too heavy. The chewiness of the gnocchi plus the texture of the penne made every bite enjoyable, right to the last one.
