Chilly-day brunch in Pangyo: shrimp plate & lemon tea, Eight Years

What is Eight Years Pangyo?

Eight Years Pangyo is a brunch spot on the Baekhyeon-dong café street. On a day when I was craving brunch made with fresh ingredients, I went to Eight Years Pangyo, famous as a Pangyo brunch favorite on the Pangyo café street! Haha

It already has a word-of-mouth reputation among Pangyo locals, so if you're looking for brunch in Pangyo or Bundang, it's probably a familiar name! Honestly, I've been a few times before~ hahaha

Where is Eight Years Pangyo, and where to park?

Eight Years Pangyo is on the Baekhyeon-dong café street! The restaurant's own parking lot is small, so use the public parking lot, which gives you 1 hour of free parking~!

Indoor seating and the terrace at Eight Years Pangyo

The inside of Eight Years Pangyo was spacious and comfortable, with seating from tables for two up to big group tables!! On weekday lunchtime it was almost full, maybe because lots of office workers nearby come by~ haha

The real charm of Eight Years Pangyo is the terrace~ haha The flowers were blooming so prettily that it would be wonderful for brunch on a nice day!>< The day I visited was a bit chilly, sob, so I sat indoors, but next time I really want to try the terrace haha

Eight Years Pangyo menu and what we ordered

They say Eight Years Pangyo uses fresh ingredients brought straight from Garak Market, bread made in collaboration with a professional bakery, and coffee beans branded by a former roasting champion~ haha

The menu has so many options that I agonized, then ordered the shrimp brunch plate, chicken vegetable stew and avocado chicken ciabatta sandwich, with an Americano and lemon tea on a set discount! Haha Even though it was busy, the food came out faster than I expected!!!

The Americano was nutty and clean-tasting, and the lemon tea was so zesty it felt like a proper vitamin boost~ hahaha

Chicken vegetable stew with baguette

The chicken vegetable stew was quite big, so sharing it between two of us was just right. The soup had a slight samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) taste?! And with lots of vegetables and chicken breast in it, it felt like health food, which I loved! Hahaha

Shrimp brunch plate, ₩15,500

The shrimp brunch plate is ₩15,500 and comes loaded with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, bread, shrimp, grilled vegetables, pineapple and salad, so one plate alone was plenty filling! Hahaha

It's also fun to pile the ingredients on the bread and make your own sandwich! Haha

Avocado chicken ciabatta sandwich, cut into 4 pieces

And then the avocado chicken ciabatta sandwich arrived!! It comes with a fresh salad, so it's even more filling and a menu item that looks after your health too! :)

You can choose to have the avocado chicken ciabatta cut in 2 or 4 pieces, and I asked for 4, which made it easier to eat~ hahaha

It was generously packed with cheese, apple, tomato, chicken breast and avocado, and the fresh ingredients blended together so well that the whole sandwich was nicely balanced! If you're looking for a great sandwich spot in Pangyo, you have to visit~ hahaha

Is Eight Years Pangyo worth it for brunch?

I ate right down to the last bite at Eight Years Pangyo, and I was full but not bloated at all, which made me even happier!!! If you're looking for a café with a nice atmosphere, definitely stop by!!
