The writer ordered a white roll, a tiramisu cinnamon roll, the signature MUG Black Latte and an iced americano. The bread, made with Lescure butter, was good enough to order one more, and the café's event draw won the writer a black keyring. MUG is a good stop on a drive through Eonyang when you want to rest surrounded by mountains rather than an ocean view. ## Good to know - **Address**: 90 Hyangsandagae-ro, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan - **Pets**: Allowed (outdoor area) - **Parking**: Large dedicated parking lot - **Seating**: Indoor space and outdoor tables - **Items ordered**: White roll, tiramisu cinnamon roll, MUG Black Latte, iced americano - **Butter**: Made with Lescure butter *as written by the visitor on Oct 14, 2026* If you're looking for a drive out of Ulsan, or a place with good bread and coffee, listen up! Today's spot is MUG (먹), in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan. I heard it's up in the mountains, but the roads are good and it was easy to find. I've always insisted on ocean views, but sitting surrounded by mountains turned out to be calming too. ## Where is MUG, and how is the parking? MUG is at 90 Hyangsandagae-ro, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, and it's a pet-friendly café. ![MUG café in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju, Ulsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-01-yhd74-1200.webp) ![MUG's large dedicated parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-02-679u7-966.webp) *MUG parking lot* I was shocked at how huge the parking lot was when we arrived! Even big cafés sometimes have tiny lots and parking can be a struggle, but MUG's is so spacious there's nothing to worry about. Being up in the mountains, the ground is high and the view was great, with summer cypress (daepsari) plants dotted around here and there :) ## Why is the MUG building black? ![Black exterior of MUG built from charred wood](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-03-1t1et-966.webp) *MUG, Ulsan* The exterior is the color of 'meok' (먹, ink), which fits the café's name perfectly. You rarely see a building this color, so it felt unique. It turns out that in 2013 the landscaping trees here were lost in a wildfire, a painful history. The building's exterior was made from the burnt trees left behind, as charred wood. Knowing it was reborn as a new space after the pain of the fire makes the place feel even more meaningful. There's calm water in front of the building too, which adds to the relaxed, quiet mood. Watching the building reflected on the water felt like looking at a painting. Just inside the entrance there's a Halloween-decorated photo area~ It would be even better with kids since there's a photo zone :) ## MUG's interior and seating ![Interior of MUG, a bakery café in Eonyang, Ulsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-04-1ctst-966.webp) *Bakery café in Eonyang, Ulsan* MUG has both indoor space and outdoor seating. I looked around the indoor area first while ordering. ![High-ceilinged indoor seating at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-05-5fgx1-966.webp) *Eonyang café, Ulsan* ![MUG interior with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-06-dw2iz-966.webp) *Eonyang café, Ulsan* ![Inside MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-07-10nq4-966.webp) ![Indoor seating area at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-08-56y8h-966.webp) Like any big café, the inside of MUG is really spacious. The ceilings are high and the floor-to-ceiling windows open it up, so it feels airy wherever you sit, and you can see the mountains, which calms the mind. ## MUG's bakery: bread made with Rescure butter Right when you enter MUG, the counter and bakery are on the left! There's a big variety of bread, and everything looked delicious ^^ ![Bread on the bakery shelves at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-09-xmap8-966.webp) ![Bakery display next to the counter at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-10-dkuio-966.webp) ![Many kinds of bread displayed at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-11-13y45-966.webp) ![Bakery menu display at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-12-1gnh0-966.webp) ![Bread in the bakery corner at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-13-f20f9-966.webp) ![Displayed breads at MUG's bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-14-xiico-966.webp) ![Variety of baked goods at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-15-cwewy-m-966.webp) ![Bakery items at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-16-10iy4-966.webp) I already like Rescure butter, so I was extra happy to hear MUG uses it~ The bread was really good too, so I planned to eat one but ordered two and ate more~ It's a true bakery hotspot!! haha Drinks are reasonably priced even though it's a big café, which I liked. I ordered an americano and the signature . ![MUG lucky draw event and keyring prize](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-17-w14o7-966.webp) There was an event going on, so give the lucky draw a try~ I won that black keyring and it's so cute ^^haha ## White roll, tiramisu cinnamon roll and Meok black latte: the taste ![White roll, cinnamon roll, Meok black latte and americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-18-1q2lx-966.webp) - White roll - Tiramisu cinnamon roll - Meok black latte - Iced americano ![Bread and drinks ordered at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-19-6tktc-966.webp) MUG's bread was soft and delicious, and not too sweet, which I liked~ It went well with coffee, as expected. The americano was nutty rather than acidic, easy to drink, and what I was most looking forward to was the black latte. The top of the Meok black latte is black, so I went 'huh?' for a second, but the staff told me to stir it well, so I did. It was sweeter than I expected, perfect for me since I was craving something sweet. Sipping a cold drink, looking at the mountains and eating good bread was healing in itself. ## MUG's outdoor tables, walking trail and dog-friendly area After sitting indoors, I went outside since there's a walking trail. ![Outdoor tables and walking trail at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-20-18eog-966.webp) There are tables outside at MUG too, and the weather was nice enough for a cup of coffee out there. Since pets are allowed, a dog was happily playing outside~ I thought, what a lucky pup haha😊 ![Dog-friendly outdoor area at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-21-9gbr6-966.webp) ![Outdoor garden view at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-22-1f8xp-966.webp) There's also a big pond at the back~ ![Pond and walking trail behind MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-23-1q8cl-966.webp) ![MUG walking trail leading to the parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery-24-1uc6d-966.webp) It's not big, but the trail is great for a short stroll after your coffee. Going down it brings you out by the parking lot, so it's a perfect little loop! If you're driving out toward Eonyang, Ulsan and want a little healing and a cup of coffee, I recommend the Eonyang bakery café :) ## Where it is - MUG (카페 먹) - 90 Hyangsandagae-ro, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, South Korea - 울산광역시 울주군 상북면 향산다개로 90 - 35.5850445, 129.1092243 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%20%EB%A8%B9/@35.5850445,129.1092243,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeju-path-marks/ulsan-eonyang-mug-cafe-mountain-view-bakery/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
