After touring the cave, this visit paired a blueberry cream cheese cinnamon roll and a white roll with a 5,500 won americano, and MUG was packed with customers even at 1pm on a weekday. MUG is a good large café in Ulsan for a break after an Amethyst Cave World outing. ## Good to know - **Location**: 90 Hyangsandagae-ro, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan - **Travel time**: About 13 minutes by car from Amethyst Cave World - **Americano**: 5,500 won - **Café latte**: 6,000 won - **Vanilla latte**: 6,500 won - **Caramel macchiato**: 6,800 won - **Cold brew**: 6,500 won - **MUG lemon smoothie**: 7,500 won - **Strawberry yogurt smoothie**: 7,000 won - **Blueberry yogurt smoothie**: 7,000 won - **Seasonal menu**: Avocado smoothie, avocado coffee smoothie, pear smoothie, plum smoothie, passion fruit ade - **Parking**: Unpaved lot, very spacious - **Visit time**: Just after 1pm on a weekday; almost every seat inside was taken *as written by the visitor on Aug 7, 2026* ![Featured photo of MUG, a large Eonyang bakery café in Ulsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-01-1gma0-1200.webp) ## 13 minutes by car from Amethyst Cave to MUG After visiting Amethyst Cave, probably the most famous spot in Ulsan, I wanted a cool cup of coffee, so I went looking for a large café in Ulsan and found MUG. It's an Eonyang bakery café in Ulsan, and it's about a 13-minute drive from the cave. The parking lot is huge and the place itself is large, but it still draws a lot of people. It was a weekday, but maybe because it's vacation season, I was a little surprised at how busy it was — truly living up to being a large Ulsan café. This place is known for its cinnamon rolls, so I'd recommend trying one for sure. ![MUG's exterior under a clear sky](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-02-po2t8-966.webp) On a nice day, a leisurely coffee at a café — and as someone who has to have bread with it too, I ended up looking for an Eonyang bakery café in Ulsan. ![View of MUG's large unpaved parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-03-ptnss-966.webp) ## Parking lot, entrance, gallery, and a photo printer MUG's parking lot is unpaved but so spacious there's nothing to worry about. It was cloudy then clear that day — after parking, I strolled leisurely into MUG. The outdoor area looked lovely, but it was too hot to stay out there. Straight inside we go — right by the entrance there are gallery pieces on the walls, so it's a bit of a gallery café in Ulsan, and there's even a smartphone photo printer that seems worth using. ![MUG's interior packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-04-1b01m-m-966.webp) ## Weekday 1pm, the mood at the floor-to-ceiling window seats Wow, so many people, haha. Just after 1pm must be the perfect time to hit a café. The inside was quite spacious, but I could see it was packed with customers. The floor-to-ceiling windows make the window seats even more atmospheric. ![MUG's main hall with floor-to-ceiling window seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-05-k9wr1-966.webp) ![Inner tables facing the window seats at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-06-1em8q-966.webp) There are plenty of tables further inside too, all facing toward the window seats, so any seat looks good. MUG was crowded inside, but there were still seats available, so I grabbed a table and headed to the counter to order. ![MUG's order counter and drink menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-07-1l7zz-966.webp) ## MUG's drink menu and prices I could tell the drinks were delicious just from the photos — avocado smoothie, plum smoothie, pear smoothie, all sorts of unusual options. - Coffee — Americano ₩5,500, Café Latte ₩6,000, Vanilla Latte ₩6,500, Caramel Macchiato ₩6,800, Cold Brew ₩6,500 - Smoothies — MUG Lemon Smoothie ₩7,500, Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie ₩7,000, Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie ₩7,000 - Season menu — Avocado Smoothie, Avocado Coffee Smoothie, Pear Smoothie, Plum Smoothie, Passion Fruit Ade ![MUG's drink menu and price list](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-08-1lqjj-966.webp) ## The 1pm bakery display, what was left Even past 1pm, so much bread had already sold — must have had a big morning rush. Quite a few spots were empty, but there were still plenty of varieties, so I picked out what I wanted to try at this Eonyang bakery café in Ulsan. ![MUG's bakery display case in the afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-09-1v1ye-966.webp) ![Display case with various breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-10-5upd6-966.webp) Probably the most popular with kids is the salt bread. ![MUG's salt bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-11-1610a-966.webp) Of the three cinnamon roll flavors, I ordered blueberry. ![Display of three cinnamon roll flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-12-10f4s-966.webp) ![Blueberry cinnamon roll on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-13-1mllw-966.webp) Bagel, black sesame chestnut red bean bread ![MUG's bagels on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-14-1drns-966.webp) ![Black sesame chestnut red bean bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-15-1a0bb-966.webp) Ciabatta, cheese mochi ![MUG's ciabatta on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-16-1o2m6-966.webp) ![Cheese mochi bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-17-tswou-966.webp) Sweet pea red bean bread, cake ![Sweet pea red bean bread and cake on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-18-12tnk-966.webp) White roll, injeolmi (sweet rice cake) roll ![White roll and injeolmi roll on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-19-kntya-966.webp) ## White roll, blueberry cinnamon roll, and an americano Among the many kinds of bread, I picked two. The white roll, which really caught my eye visually, and the blueberry cinnamon roll! For coffee, I went with an americano, which pairs well with sweet bread. ![White roll and americano on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-20-1jpwv-966.webp) Since this place is known for cinnamon rolls, I figured I had to try one, and picked blueberry. The apple flavor seemed the most popular and was sold out, which was a bit disappointing, ㅠㅠ. ![Layered blueberry cream cheese cinnamon roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-21-yhlj2-966.webp) The cinnamon scent came through strongly between the layers of bread, making for a distinctive, appealing flavor. The cream cheese and blueberry pair really well, and it's the perfect bread to eat with coffee. > The combination of cream, blueberry, and cinnamon scent is the best. If you visit MUG, I recommend trying this bread for sure. ![MUG's high-ceilinged interior with an open view](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-22-6lf1k-966.webp) The high ceilings and open view are lovely. Once you order the bread, you can microwave it however you like. ![View of MUG's outdoor space](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-23-1hnbp-m-966.webp) ## Pumpkins hanging outside on the way out On the way out, pumpkins were hanging thick outside, so I looked around, but it was too hot to stand still for even a moment, so I hopped straight into the car, haha. There seemed to be small watermelons hanging too — fun for kids to see^^ ![Pumpkins hanging thick on a vine outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll-24-17qqb-966.webp) ## MUG as a stop on the Amethyst Cave route — how was it? MUG is a large Ulsan café where you can enjoy bakery goods and coffee, and being close to Amethyst Cave, it's a good place to stop by, rest comfortably, and enjoy tasty bread and coffee. When traveling, large cafés are always the best — plenty of bread and roomy seating^^. Had a great time at MUG, a good café for an Eonyang date. ## 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/@kitchen-steam-2/cafe-meok-ulsan-amethyst-cave-cinnamon-roll/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
