The menu is so varied and never lets the writer down, so they come often, and this time it was the Chungbuk National University Branch.

How varied is the menu at Eopcheonri382 Chungbuk National University Branch?

The menu runs from coffee to retro drinks, smoothies, ades, sandwiches, poke salad, toast, waffles and tortilla wraps. There is so much that choosing was genuinely hard.

After staring at the menu for a long while, here is what the writer finally picked.

• Ham cheese sandwich
• Chicken breast sandwich
• Poke salad
• Walnut cakes (hodu-gwaja, walnut-shaped cakes)

The writer also joined the review event and got a canned coffee too. Don't forget the review event, haha. Most of the order was takeout to eat slowly at the accommodation, but while the food was being prepared the writer was so hungry that they ate the ham cheese sandwich first.

Is the ham cheese sandwich filling enough to eat while you wait?

The ham cheese sandwich combined fresh ingredients with soft bread and was enough for a simple meal. The writer can't figure out why a sandwich eaten while waiting tastes so good.

Isn't the chicken breast sandwich dry?

The top recommendation from this visit is, without question, the chicken breast sandwich.

This is truly a "you have to try this" item, and the writer's favorite sandwich ❤️ People tend to assume chicken breast will be dry, but it wasn't at all. It was moist, went well with the fresh vegetables, and the only regret was that it got smaller with every bite..!

Personally, it is the most satisfying item on the Eopcheonri menu!

Is the poke salad a full meal?

The poke salad ordered alongside was satisfying too.

It was generously packed with fresh ingredients and was plenty for a meal. The writer thought it would suit days when you want something light but filling, or anyone looking for a healthy meal.

Walnut cakes for dessert

The walnut cakes ordered for dessert couldn't be skipped either.

Look at all that red bean paste inside!! They were good as a snack after the meal and went even better with coffee. With a meal, dessert and drink all covered on one menu, it's honestly like the Daiso of restaurants for college students, haha.

Is takeout okay in summer? Cooler bag packing

What the writer liked most about this takeout was the packing.

The Chungbuk National University Branch packed the takeout food carefully in a cooler bag. The writer was a little worried the food might spoil in summer, but thanks to the bag it stayed fresh all the way to the accommodation. It may be a small thing, but careful packing like this seems to raise satisfaction with the food even more.

The review-event canned coffee was handy on the move

The coffee from the review event was good too.

Eopcheonri382 serves drinks sealed in cans, so there's no worry about spills while traveling, and the coffee aroma stays intact, which was really convenient on the road. Eating it with the walnut cakes made me happy! ☺️ Even when drunk after reaching the accommodation, it tasted just as it did when handed over, which was a big plus.

Atmosphere and seating at Eopcheonri382 Chungbuk National University Branch

The atmosphere of the shop was nice too.
