The takeout order here was a whole shrimp wrap sandwich, a crispy chicken wrap sandwich, chicken tenders, a caramel macchiato, and a vanilla latte, and the shrimp wrap came packed with about five shrimp for real staying power. PARENTS Coffee & Salad is the place to add chicken tenders when a light salad alone isn't enough. ## Good to know - **Order**: Caramel macchiato, vanilla latte, whole shrimp wrap sandwich, crispy chicken wrap sandwich, chicken tenders - **Menu range**: Poke, pasta salad, wraps, burritos, coffee, fruit juice, smoothies, and a new warm salad - **Seating**: Plenty of tables for two and four; fine for solo meals or group get-togethers - **Order options**: Extra sauces and toppings available - **Location**: 1F, 13 Chungjangdae-ro 9beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* I've been eating nothing but heavy, greasy food lately and my stomach was feeling off, so I went to PARENTS Coffee to eat something healthier. The coffee and salads were so good that this is one of my favorite spots in Jung-gu, Busan, and I really wanted to introduce it to you 🤍 ![Main photo of takeout menu from PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-01-1lovi-1200.webp) ## Where is PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch? PARENTS Coffee is close to Jungang-dong, and since there are a lot of offices nearby, it seemed to get a lot of office workers haha. It's also not too far from Nampo-dong or Busan Station, so anyone watching their diet can stop by without much hassle — a great Jung-gu, Busan spot. ![Exterior of PARENTS Coffee in Jungang-dong, Jung-gu, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-02-e6a6v-900.webp) > 🏷️ PARENTS Coffee Jungang-dong Branch ![View near the entrance of PARENTS Coffee Jungang-dong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-03-de1p7-900.webp) ![First floor of the PARENTS Coffee building on Chungjangdae-ro 9beon-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-04-d4esk-900.webp) ## Inside PARENTS Coffee & Salad: is it good for eating alone? The interior has a strong red accent, but it still has that comfortable, cafe-like feel where you can just settle in ☆ There are tons of 2-seat and 4-seat tables inside, so it's perfect whether you're eating alone or looking for a spot for a group gathering ~! ![Interior table at PARENTS Coffee with red-accented decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-05-pp3gm-900.webp) It's quiet enough that you can eat comfortably by yourself without feeling self-conscious, so it's great for solo dining too. Overall the store was big, which I liked, and there seemed to be more takeout and delivery customers than people eating in the dining area ~!! ## PARENTS Coffee & Salad menu and prices PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch isn't just a place selling salads in Jung-gu, Busan — they also sell poke, pasta salad, wraps, burritos, and more, so there were plenty of options :) ![Menu board listing salads and poke at PARENTS Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-06-1h940-882.webp) ![Store menu board showing wrap and burrito options](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-07-k7x9h-900.webp) ![Menu board noting extra sauce and topping options](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-08-1fc25-836.webp) There were menu boards all around, which made it easy to pick, and you could add extra sauces or toppings, so I liked being able to order to my taste haha. ![Drink menu listing coffee, fruit juice, and smoothies](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-09-2ilho-898.webp) There were also lots of drinks like coffee, fruit juice, and smoothies, so it felt like a fine place to stop by just for a coffee, not necessarily a full meal haha. ![Sign announcing the new warm salad menu item](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-10-1bx2r-828.webp) They also just added a warm salad as a new menu item — it looked interesting so I took a photo, planning to try it next time! ## What I ordered at PARENTS Coffee & Salad, and how it tasted What I ended up ordering was ![Takeout wrap sandwiches and two cups of coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-11-vuj1w-900.webp) - ✔️ Caramel macchiato - ✔️ Vanilla latte - ✔️ Whole shrimp wrap sandwich - ✔️ Crispy chicken wrap sandwich - ✔️ Chicken tenders ![Full spread of wrap sandwiches, chicken tenders, and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-12-18uey-900.webp) A spread that would hold its own as a brunch ~~ It looks like a lot, but since it's all healthy food, it's a diet-friendly meal you can eat even at dinner without any guilt. I also ordered coffee to go with it, and since it was takeout, they thoughtfully wrapped the cups once more in plastic wrap for the packaging. ![Two coffee cups wrapped an extra time in plastic wrap for takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-13-g3go8-833.webp) ### Whole shrimp wrap sandwich: how much shrimp is inside? If you like shrimp, the whole shrimp wrap sandwich is a must-order..🫶🏻 It wasn't just 1-2 plump shrimp thrown in — there were about 5 in there, generously, so the texture was really substantial. The tortilla wrap itself was so chewy and springy, and it went really well with everything packed inside. ![Cross-section of the whole shrimp wrap sandwich showing the shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-14-25zle-851.webp) ![Whole shrimp wrap sandwich wrapped in tortilla](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-15-1fem5-844.webp) ![Bite-sized cross-section of the whole shrimp wrap sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-16-1q79t-900.webp) The bouncy texture of the shrimp popping up throughout was so good, and the fullness was incredible for something that's supposed to be a diet food! ![Close-up of the filling whole shrimp wrap sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-17-19792-844.webp) ### Crispy chicken wrap sandwich Even before taking a bite of the crispy chicken wrap sandwich, you could see the crispy chicken packed in generously. ![Fried chicken filling inside the crispy chicken wrap sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-18-12bbi-855.webp) ![Cross-section of the crispy chicken wrap sandwich packed with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-19-1dytd-791.webp) The crunchy chicken came with all sorts of vegetables packed in, and one bite and your taste buds just go pop 〰️ ![Bite taken out of the crispy chicken wrap sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-20-a481q-855.webp) ![Wrap sandwich filling shown with the dressing mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-21-1eugy-868.webp) The filling was so plump and hearty that every single bite let me experience several different textures and flavors at once. The dressing had a clean taste too, which perked up the whole thing and made it feel light to eat. ![Plate of chicken tenders served without sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-22-1mk46-860.webp) ### Chicken tenders (and the missing sauce) Chicken tenders usually come with a sauce, but I guess the staff member was busy because there was no sauce this time. But the fried coating itself was salty and crispy, so it was really delicious even without sauce! ![Close-up of crispy fried chicken tenders](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-23-a4lat-835.webp) Even after some time had passed, they were still crunchy and well-fried, with just the right amount of saltiness — perfect to pair with a light salad when that alone feels like it's not quite enough. ## Final verdict on PARENTS Coffee & Salad 💭 PARENTS Coffee is great to enjoy anytime, whether at home or at the office, from breakfast to lunch to dinner! There are so many tasty, healthy menu items that it's a Jung-gu, Busan spot I want to keep coming back to and try everything on the menu — if you're watching your diet, definitely pay a visit '◡' ![Finished takeout spread from PARENTS Coffee after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee-24-kvkfx-900.webp) ## Where it is - PARENTS Coffee & Salad Jungang-dong Branch (페어런츠 커피&샐러드 중앙동점) - 1F, 13 Chungjangdae-ro 9beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 중구 충장대로9번길 13 1층 페어런츠 커피 - 35.1065595, 129.0373912 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%98%EC%96%B4%EB%9F%B0%EC%B8%A0%20%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%26%EC%83%90%EB%9F%AC%EB%93%9C%20%EC%A4%91%EC%95%99%EB%8F%99%EC%A0%90/@35.1065595,129.0373912,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@nampo-market-bowl/busan-jung-gu-salad-wrap-chicken-tender-parents-coffee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
