I enjoyed my last visit, so I came back. It struck me as a good place for a weekend drive with family, and this time I spent a weekend morning reading over bread and drinks. ![Exterior of MUG bakery café in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-01-u15u3-900.webp) ## Is parking easy, and when is it less crowded? The address is 90 Hyangsandagae-ro, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, South Korea (울산광역시 울주군 상북면 향산다개로 90). The original post lists the hours as 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, with last orders at 7:30 PM. The spacious parking area in front made parking easy. Weekend afternoons tend to get crowded, so I would suggest a weekday or weekend morning if you want a quieter stay. ![Spacious parking area in front of MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-02-1mnkn-900.webp) ## What is outside, and can you bring pets? Behind the café, there is an entrance, terrace seating, and a walking path. Pets are reportedly allowed in the outdoor area. I wanted to try the path, but it has been too hot every time I have visited, so I have yet to walk it. ![MUG's outdoor area and distinctive black exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-03-pbf33-900.webp) The black exterior caught my eye, too. MUG is said to represent remembrance and recovery after the 2013 wildfire, with charred wood used to remember the suffering it caused. I found it interesting that the name and building carried this story. ## What is inside the front entrance? I had thought the only entrance was at the back, but there was a front door as well. Entering that way, I found a small exhibition space and a machine for printing smartphone photos. ![Interior space leading to MUG's front entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-04-mdd40-900.webp) ![Small exhibition space at MUG's front entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-05-m4q1i-900.webp) ## How are the seats for reading or studying? The interior was spacious, with a clean, simple design. Most window seats were arranged for two or four people, and there were two large tables that looked suitable for groups. ![MUG's spacious interior with a clean, simple design](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-06-egmtn-900.webp) ![Tables and seating inside MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-07-1tnn7-900.webp) I liked that the tables were a comfortable height to use while seated. The Wi-Fi connected well, and there were power outlets throughout, so it seemed suitable for studying, too. The restrooms farther inside were also clean. ![Window seats at MUG overlooking green scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-08-18rke-900.webp) The windows looked out onto green summer scenery. I read here on a weekend morning, and sitting by the window during a quiet stretch was a pleasant way to take a break. ## What bread was available, and what did I choose? There was enough variety to make choosing fun. At the time of my visit, the signature cinnamon rolls came in four flavors: apple, blueberry cream cheese, lemon cream cheese, and tiramisu. This time, I chose tiramisu. ![Cinnamon roll varieties available at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-09-17cyr-1200.webp) ![Various bakery items available at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-10-hkl6c-900.webp) ![A choice of different breads at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-11-181z8-900.webp) ![Different bakery items sold at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-12-w39h0-900.webp) ![MUG's bakery area with a variety of breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-13-e72z5-900.webp) ![Bakery selection at MUG during my visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-14-efr24-900.webp) ## What were the signature drinks, and how were the lattes? There was a wide selection of drinks, too. MUG black latte, MUG lemon smoothie, and MUG lemon ade were listed as signature drinks. I was disappointed that the passion fruit ade, a sparkling fruit drink I had enjoyed last time, did not seem to be available on this visit. ![Menu showing drinks available to order at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-15-19jud-900.webp) After ordering bread and drinks, I sat by the window. There was also a microwave for warming up bread yourself. ![Bread and drinks by the window at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-16-1i32k-900.webp) ![MUG's Americano, black latte, and Hadong matcha latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-17-mxgof-900.webp) *Americano, MUG black latte, Hadong matcha latte* The MUG black latte contained condensed milk and tasted like a sweet latte. In the Hadong matcha latte, the matcha latte and cream worked well together. ## How were the tiramisu cinnamon roll and salt bread? I do not eat cinnamon rolls very often, but the cinnamon aroma and tiramisu flavor went well together. It made me want to try the other flavors, too. ![The tiramisu cinnamon roll I chose at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-18-1tj51-900.webp) *Tiramisu cinnamon roll* The sogeumppang (salt bread) was pleasantly crisp, with a buttery aroma. I love salt bread and have tried it at many places; for my taste, this was among my favorites. ![Sogeumppang and Real oksusuppang ordered at MUG](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading-19-1abyv-900.webp) *Sogeumppang (salt bread), Real oksusuppang (corn bread)* ## Where it is - MUG (카페 먹) (카페 먹) - 90 Hyangsandagae-ro, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, South Korea (울산광역시 울주군 상북면 향산다개로 90) - 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/@southern-cafe-notes/cafe-meok-sangbuk-bakery-reading/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
