Suwon bagel café: a second sesame jambon-beurre to go, Orange Bagel

What kind of bagel café is Orange Bagel in Suwon?

Orange Bagel (오렌지베이글) in Suwon is a bakery café that's a great stop when you're craving a good bagel. The range is wide: plain bagels with cream cheese, and styled bagels filled with things like salmon or jambon-beurre (ham and butter), haha.

I'm a bit of a bread lover and have done lots of bakery tours, and Orange Bagel is the place I've officially crowned a top bagel spot in Suwon, haha.

This time I wanted to try a bit of everything, so I ordered the crab shrimp bagel, the jambon-beurre bagel and the bacon egg mayo bagel. For drinks I picked an iced café latte and an Arizona, haha.

Orange Bagel Suwon's red-brick exterior and three floors

Orange Bagel is a red-brick building, so you can spot it right from the street. Even in the middle of the city it gives off a Brooklyn vibe, and the outside and inside are both so pretty, haha. It's perfect for a get-together or a date, haha.

You order your bagels on the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor has tables in all sorts of moods, so you can sit wherever you like, take pretty photos and eat your bagel, haha.

The 3rd floor is a rooftop, but I stayed on the 2nd floor, quietly enjoying the café atmosphere while tearing into my bagel like a champ, hahaha.

Orange Bagel Suwon menu and fall chestnut items

For fall, Orange Bagel currently has seasonal items like a chestnut cream bagel and a chestnut cream latte,

from the crab shrimp bagel with seafood, to the jambon-beurre bagel with its charming ham-and-butter combo, to the hearty bacon egg mayo bagel!

Just reading the names made everything sound so delicious that I struggled to decide which to eat first, haha.

What does Orange Bagel's crab shrimp bagel taste like?

Orange Bagel's crab shrimp bagel reminded me of the crab burger from a certain Korean fast-food chain, haha. Made with crab and shrimp, it's one for people who like that seafood flavor.

It tastes different from your usual ham or cheese bagel. Kind of like a shrimp burger, but with a bagel as the bun?

If you like crab or shrimp sandwiches, I'd recommend it, haha. I usually pick the familiar flavors when choosing a bagel, so this felt fresh, haha.

Sesame jambon-beurre bagel: so good I ordered extra to go

Second up: the jambon-beurre bagel! Orange Bagel's version has ham and butter inside and a ton of sesame seeds on top, haha. Maybe that's why the nutty sesame and the salty jambon-beurre go together so well, hahaha.

The bagel I said I tore into like a champ? That was this one, hahaha. Honestly, the blog owner's super-duper-highly recommended pick! It's really delicious, haha.

It was so good, haha, that I'm the one person who ordered an extra and took it home, hahaha. If you like plain bread with ham and butter, or you love jambon-beurre like me, I highly recommend it, haha.

Bacon egg mayo bagel: my boyfriend's pick

Third was the bacon egg mayo bagel. The nutty egg mayo and the bacon flavor go so well together, haha. It's also cheap, so I didn't expect much, but it became my boyfriend's recommended menu item, haha.

It's like a morning roll brushed with sugar and baked, stuffed with plenty of tasty bacon and egg. The outer bagel really tastes sugar-coated, and it's great for brunch, haha.

Ordering all three bagels meant each tasted different, so it's easy to pick according to your taste, haha.

Latte and Arizona lemon tea with bagels

The drink I ordered with my bagel was a latte. I like lattes and order them often, and Orange Bagel's latte has a strong coffee aroma and flavor, so it was good, haha. Coffee with a bagel is really delicious, haha.

A latte made with milk lets you enjoy the coffee flavor and soft milk together, which makes it a good match for bread.

My boyfriend ordered an Arizona! He said he drank it a lot when he was studying abroad, so he sipped it all nostalgic, hahaha.

Oh, the Arizona is lemon black tea, haha. You get a gentle black tea aroma plus fresh lemon, and when the bagel got a little heavy, a sip left my mouth feeling clean, haha.

What should you order at Orange Bagel in Suwon?

In total we ordered five things at Orange Bagel: the crab shrimp bagel, jambon-beurre bagel, bacon egg mayo bagel, latte and Arizona, haha. The blog owner's recommendations are the jambon-beurre bagel and the bacon egg mayo bagel, haha.

They also apparently have limited fall items like a chestnut latte and chestnut bagel, so if you love bagels, give Orange Bagel a visit, haha.
