Quiet weekday brunch at a Gwangalli café: French toast, Famous Benny
In short
Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch is a two-floor brunch café in Minnak-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan, and a 2026 Blue Ribbon Survey selection. On a weekday afternoon visit, the 2nd-floor window seat came with matcha lemonade and French toast piled with banana, bacon, streusel crumble, nuts and blueberries, with maple syrup served on the side and a generous portion. For a calm brunch at Famous Benny, a weekday afternoon beats the weekend.

Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch: order downstairs, eat upstairs
Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch has few tables on the 1st floor, which is set up as the ordering and cooking area. For eating, head up to the 2nd floor and pick a seat. Walking in through the cool entrance~ famous Benny 🐇🐇🐇 up to the 2nd floor to pick a dining spot haha
Why weekday afternoons are quiet (last order 5 PM)
A gorgeous, bright space~ 💡💡 When I visited on a weekday afternoon, there weren't many people, so it was good for a calm, quiet meal. Weekday orders close at 5pm! Dine-in is until 6pm ~.~
On weekends it gets pretty crowded, so if you want a quiet visit, go on a weekday 🐇🐇🐇
There are also some nice food magazines on display 💫💫 and the space itself is just pretty 🕯🕯
There's a lovely window seat too~ my favorite spot at Famous Benny Brunch Café 💗
Also got to admire some nice artwork~
What to order at Famous Benny: matcha lemonade and French toast
⭐️menu pick⭐️
How does the matcha lemonade taste?
💛 First item / matcha lemonade. A beautifully colored signature drink from Famous Benny~ a matcha base with the tang of lemonade, the color is really striking and pretty ✨️ Matcha and lemon pair better than you'd think. Kind of like the green tea powder tames the lemon's sourness...
French toast toppings and portion size
🌕 Second item / French toast. French toast fully soaked in egg batter, topped with banana and bacon, plus streusel, nuts, blueberries, and jam, with maple syrup on the side in a small dish. Pretty and stylish-looking, with a fluffy taste. The portion was generous too, so I ate until full 🍓🍓
Brunch time with a little reading, lalala 🎶
The nuts and blueberries went really well with the French toast 🍂 felt like a healthy sort of taste too
So relaxing and so good. Fall, don't leave yet... 👨👦👦
It even feels a bit like an art piece. So pretty 🌷
A lovely spread~ the lemonade's tang paired really well with the French toast! 🍋🍋🫓🫓
A perfect spot for a weekday brunch~
