What are the seats and atmosphere like at Orange Bagel?

First-floor seating

On the 1st floor, the seats are tucked behind the counter and the bread display. The space felt calm yet a bit exotic.

It's a big café, so there were really a lot of seats, and it's a comfortable place to linger.

Second-floor seating and group tables

Since this is such a huge bakery in Suwon, the 2nd floor has all kinds of spaces too. There are large tables here and there, so it's great for group gatherings.

It's good for a family get-together with kids, and for chatting and taking photos with friends!!

Seats with power outlets for laptop work

There are outlets all over Orange Bagel, so it's a great place to stay a long time working on a laptop, which suited me perfectly!!! I went on a weekday at lunchtime and it was really crowded. Even so, there were plenty of seats here and there, which I liked.

Seats under the glass ceiling

For me, the prettiest spot at Orange Bagel is the indoor seating with a glass ceiling!! On a clear day the blue sky is beautiful, and on a rainy day I bet the sound of the rain is lovely too!! There were also Halloween decorations here and there.

What did I have for brunch at Orange Bagel?

I came to Orange Bagel for a lunch brunch, so I picked sandwiches: a salmon bagel and a crab shrimp bagel. Aren't the sandwiches gorgeous!!

The taste, the looks and how filling they were were all really good.

Salmon bagel

The salmon bagel at Orange Bagel comes on bread studded with sesame seeds, packed with cream cheese, lettuce, onion, capers and lots of salmon!! There's honestly way more salmon than I expected.

And since it's smoked salmon, it had a great savory depth. It's a clean, light brunch.

Crab and shrimp bagel

The crab shrimp bagel at Orange Bagel has finely chopped crab, shrimp, vegetables and more, and the filling was nutty, salty and rich in umami. Personally, I found the crab shrimp bagel more familiar and tastier than the salmon bagel.

A mild plain bagel plus the savory filling and the richness of the cheese made it delicious!!!

Iced café latte

The iced café latte at Orange Bagel tastes clean and nutty. I usually go for an Americano, but I wanted something more filling to go with the bread, so I had a latte.

It was a coffee that went well with brunch.
