Suwon brunch café bacon egg mayo vs Laugen butter bagel: Orange Bagel

Orange Bagel is a large Suwon café known for its bagels. It's my personal favorite Suwon brunch spot — chewy, delicious bagels in all kinds of flavors, plus coffee and distinctive drinks 🥯

I was craving my go-to bacon egg mayo bagel so I stopped by after a while, and ended up unexpectedly discovering an incredible Laugen butter bagel.

Crispy outside, tender inside, sweet and salty at once — totally amazing.

What Orange Bagel looks like inside: three floors and seating

Orange Bagel, this big Suwon café, is a three-story building, so it's spacious with plenty of seats.

The space is divided into sections, so it's good for chatting,

and the overall café atmosphere is bright and airy, the kind of place that puts you in a good mood. There are lots of group tables too, so it's great for going with a crowd!!

There's also a big parking lot out front, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a drive-worthy spot in Gyeonggi or a pretty café on the outskirts of Seoul 👍🏻 It's also an easy walk from Gosaek Station on the Suin-Bundang Line. There's even a terrace on the 3rd floor, making this large Suwon café perfect for weather like this these days 🥰

Bacon egg mayo or Laugen butter bagel: which one won?

I ordered my usual bacon egg mayo along with the Laugen butter bagel I was trying for the first time ‼️ But my long-time favorite bacon egg mayo just got dethroned — as of today, it's Laugen butter bagel. So good.

The bacon egg mayo bagel is loaded with a nutty, smooth egg mayo spread paired with salty bacon. Good chew, well-balanced ingredients, and hearty enough to make a satisfying brunch ‼️ The portion is surprisingly generous too.

And then there's the Laugen butter bagel, my new favorite 🥯 At first, with the salt on top, I thought it might taste like a salt bread. But the outside was salty and crisp, while the inside was seriously, extremely soft!

It's moist and sweet, almost like it's been dipped in condensed milk, and combined with the butter it felt genuinely luxurious 👍🏻 If you like bread that's crispy outside, soft inside, and sweet, I highly recommend it!! It's a great café on the outskirts of Seoul for a drive, so give it a try on a day off~
