## In short

Sun Terrace (순테라스, the Hapjeong branch of Mingyu Appane Bagel) is a wood-fired bagel café on Dokmak-ro 8-gil in Mapo-gu, Seoul, between Hapjeong and Sangsu stations. The plain bagel topped with cheese cream and fig cream cheese, plus the mocha bagel, almond choco bagel, ham cheese sandwich and cream flat white, all had a crisp crust and a soft crumb that pulled apart like fresh milk bread. Sun Terrace is roomy and easy to sit in, so it works well for a Hapjeong brunch meetup or a date.

## Where is Sun Terrace, and how do you walk there from Hapjeong or Sangsu station?

Suntherrace (Minkyu Appane Bagel Hapjeong branch) sits on the 1st floor of 15 Dokmak-ro 8-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, right between Hapjeong and Sangsu stations. It's directly across from Hapjeong's most famous ramen shop, so it's really easy to find! The route also works perfectly as a takeaway or dessert stop after a meal.

Wandering the Hapjeong back streets, the warm, atmospheric wood-tone exterior catches your eye. From the entrance, the smell of freshly baked bread drifts out and stops you in your tracks.

Cafés around Hapjeong and Hongdae often feel cramped, but Suntherrace has a really spacious, comfortable interior where you can relax over brunch or chat with a friend without feeling squeezed! Thanks to all that room, I'd recommend it for breakfast, a light lunch, or a weekend brunch spot.

## What makes Sun Terrace's wood-fired bagels, baked every morning, different?

The biggest selling point of Minkyu Appane Bagel is that the bagels are wood-fired and baked in-store every single morning!

These days there are tons of bagel specialty shops, but ones that actually bake in a wood-fired oven are rare, right? The high heat of the wood oven crisps the outside while keeping the inside moist, giving a texture worlds apart from your average dry, chewy bagel.

Here's the texture point I want to stress most! These bagels are crisp on the outside and soft-chewy on the inside, like a well-made premium loaf of bread. Tear one apart by hand and it pulls softly along the grain — a gorgeous sight. (Definitely take a photo or video of tearing it apart!)

## Sun Terrace bagel menu: what's on the display counter

Walking into the store, the bagel lineup laid out neatly on trays catches your eye right away. Just browsing the display is a treat for the eyes, and with so many options, picking your favorite is half the fun.

First, the plain bagel stays true to basics, letting you taste the wood-fired bagel's own clean, nutty flavor — it's a bestseller for good reason. There's also the olive bagel, studded with salty, fragrant olives for a savory bite, and the blueberry bagel, sweet-tart and a dream pairing with cream cheese.

There's also an onion bagel with rich onion flavor, a basil tomato bagel with a fresh punch, an almond choco bagel where nutty almond slices meet sweet chocolate, and a mocha bagel with deep coffee aroma.

Beyond bagels alone, there's an impressive fresh sandwich lineup that makes a solid meal — starting with a jambon-beurre sandwich packed with quality ham and butter, a rocket ham cheese sandwich that tastes fresh, and an egg mayo apple ham cheese sandwich that balances savory and sweet. The range for brunch or breakfast is really wide.

## Honest review: plain bagel with fig cream cheese at Sun Terrace

What I picked at Suntherrace was the plain bagel, cheese cream, mocha bagel, almond bagel, and ham cheese sandwich — the best combo I landed on after much deliberation among the many options.

First I tried the most basic of basics, the plain bagel. I tore it in half by hand — crisp outside, and inside it pulled apart moist and springy like sliced bread. Spreading on plenty of soft cheese cream, my mouth filled with savory flavor. Then I tried the fig cream cheese, with its sweet flecks of fig popping between bites, adding extra depth — I genuinely blurted out 'best bagel of my life.'

If you love sweet dessert breads, don't skip the almond choco bagel either — golden and nutty on the outside, with almond and chocolate melted into the inside for a striking sweetness. Paired with a cup of coffee, it was pure stress relief.

If you love sweet dessert breads, don't skip the mocha bagel either — golden and nutty outside, with deep mocha flavor melted through for a sweetness that spreads. Completely delicious!!!

As a meal substitute, the ham cheese sandwich was packed between a crisp-chewy, freshly wood-fired bagel with salty, quality ham and rich cheese flavor — savory and filling. Thanks to the bagel's soft, chewy texture, I could eat it comfortably without scraping the roof of my mouth — very satisfying.

## Best drinks with a bagel: Sun Terrace's cream flat white and snowflake bingsu

Good bagels need good coffee! I paired mine with Suntherrace's signature cream flat white — the soft, dense cream and bitter, nutty espresso were a fantastic match with the wood-fired bagels and sandwiches.

Besides coffee, they've also added a new lineup of refreshing fruit bingsu (shaved ice dessert), so it seems like a great option for a summer visit or dessert time too.

With its spacious, comfortable interior, I'd strongly recommend this to anyone near Hapjeong or Sangsu looking for a relaxed brunch meetup or date spot.
