At Dento the writer ordered the signature Five Bite-Size Open Sandwiches (₩1.2) and an iced drip coffee (₩0.4), then received an extra truffle ricotta sandwich through a Naver receipt review event, along with staff guidance to eat the sandwiches from left to right. With red tables and a self-serve bar anchoring a calm room, Dento suits a long chat with friends or a relaxed date. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 42-5 Bongsanmunhwa 2-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu (192 m from Banwoldang Station Exit 9) - **Hours**: 10:00–20:00 (last order 19:00) - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use nearby paid parking such as Banwoldang Metro Parking - **Five Bite-Size Open Sandwiches**: ₩1.2 - **Iced drip coffee**: ₩0.4 - **Latte**: ₩0.6 - **Other menu items**: Tomato soup, grilled shrimp sandwich, mini salad, bottled beer, house wine *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Main image of Dento, a brunch café in Banwoldang, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-01-13n16-1200.webp) Today's review is a new brunch spot near Banwoldang Station. Daegu's Bongsan-dong has so many pretty cafés, right? But this one had genuinely cute and delicious bite-size sandwiches unlike anywhere else — this is 'Dento'. ![Exterior view of Dento, a brunch café in a Bongsan-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-02-1oz8t-900.webp) The atmosphere was really nice too, so it's great for unwinding with a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and it would make a good date spot too. Let's get into the review. ![Exterior with Dento's signage lettering and illustration](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-03-16brb-900.webp) ## Where is Dento, and what are its hours? Dento is located at 42-5 Bongsanmunhwa 2-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea, 192m from Exit 9 of Banwoldang Station. Hours are 10:00–20:00, with last order at 19:00. ## Where to park near Dento in Bongsan-dong There's no dedicated parking lot. Since it's tucked into an alley, public transit is more convenient anyway. If you do drive, you'll need to use a nearby paid parking lot (like Banwoldang Metro Parking, for example). It's only about 190m from Banwoldang Station Exit 9, around a 3-minute walk, so I'd recommend taking public transit. I headed into this new Banwoldang brunch café, greeted by Dento's cute lettering and illustration out front. ## Dento's menu and prices: what we ordered ![Dento's brunch menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-04-16nnv-873.webp) *Menu board at Dento, a new brunch café in Bongsan-dong* I chose the signature Five Bite-Size Open Sandwiches (₩1.2) and an iced drip coffee (₩0.4). There's also tomato soup, a grilled shrimp sandwich, mini salad, and other options, plus a latte (₩0.6) for coffee. ## Inside Dento: red tables and a self-serve bar ![Interior view of Dento café](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-05-18qs5-900.webp) Walking into this new brunch café tucked in the Bongsan-dong alleys near Banwoldang Station, I was struck by how cozy yet stylish the interior felt. ![Seating at Dento with red tables and chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-06-ddrc6-900.webp) The bold red tables, pretty chairs, and lighting really stand out as the focal point. It had a vintage yet refined feel that I loved. ![A corner of Dento's interior with vintage lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-07-o2rp9-900.webp) ![Interior decor and lighting details at Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-08-4dwp6-900.webp) There's a big self-bar right in the center of the space, and it's styled with its own distinctive mood too. ![The large self-bar at the center of Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-09-1inff-900.webp) ✔️ A brunch café recommendation for a great atmosphere near Banwoldang ![Calm brunch seating area at Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-10-12lxj-900.webp) Seating isn't huge, but thanks to that it never feels crowded — it's a calm, relaxed spot to enjoy brunch. Further inside, you can catch a glimpse of a neatly organized open kitchen, which adds to the sense of trust. ![Open kitchen visible inside Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-11-1mibc-900.webp) ![Bottled beer and house wine displayed at Dento's self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-12-wljir-900.webp) Besides coffee, they also sell bottled beer and house wine. ![Dento's space decorated with plants and fresh flowers](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-13-1ykad-900.webp) Plants and fresh flowers scattered around make the space even prettier — it'd be a great spot to catch up with a friend or go on a sweet date. ✔️ A Bongsan-dong brunch café recommendation for a date ## Tasting Dento's Five Bite-Size Open Sandwiches ![Dento's Five Bite-Size Open Sandwiches with iced drip coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-14-1v7ja-900.webp) Ta-da!

It's small but packs a big flavor — a really satisfying sandwich, and it paired great with the coffee. ### Pan con tomate at Dento ![Pan con tomate bite-size open sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-19-1cqyw-900.webp) For reference, they told me the sandwiches taste even better if you eat them from left to right. ### Avocado and salmon, romesco roasted vegetables ![Romesco roasted vegetables bite-size open sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-20-19o99-900.webp) So I tried them one by one in order, and each had its own distinct charm — I loved that I got to enjoy such a variety of flavors. ### Shrimp rémoulade and the free truffle ricotta ![Truffle ricotta bite-size open sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-21-1x36a-900.webp) It felt like a sushi omakase — small and cute, but a satisfying lineup that made for a really enjoyable brunch experience. ![Dento brunch spread on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich/dento-bansweoldang-brunch-open-sandwich-22-1193r-900.webp) If you go, the atmosphere really is calm yet full of character — this is a Banwoldang brunch spot I'd happily visit again. ## Is Dento worth a visit?
