I had a Double Tray Hands Brunch Set A by the Geumho River, and the rich cream pasta and refreshing salad worked well together, though the baguette was a little hard. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5-6 Hyodong-ro 6-gil, Dong-gu, Daegu, South Korea — 대구광역시 동구 효동로6길 5-6 핸즈커피 동촌유원지점 - **Hours noted at visit**: Daily 10:00 AM–11:00 PM; open year-round - **Floors**: 2nd-floor ordering lounge; 3rd-floor river-view seating; 4th-floor floor seating and rooftop - **Ordering**: Kiosk and counter ordering available - **Parking**: Dedicated parking lot in front of the building *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ## Can you have brunch overlooking the river at Dongchon Resort? I visited Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch (핸즈커피 동촌유원지점), near Dongchon Resort in Dong-gu, Daegu. It sits on higher ground overlooking the Geumho River and is close to the walking trail. The red-brick exterior and wood-toned antique interior came together nicely, and the café occupied the second through fourth floors. ## Where do you order, and how much was brunch? The ordering area was on the second floor. I arrived around 1:30 PM, and that floor was full of guests. There was a warm, wood-toned lounge, and I could order either at a kiosk or in person. ![Hands Coffee ordering area and lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-01-anrt9-900.webp) ![Second-floor atmosphere at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-02-1r63a-900.webp) ![Around the Hands Coffee ordering area](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-03-1d073-900.webp) ![Hands Coffee menu ordering information](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-04-gwh75-730.webp) ![Hands Coffee menu selection area](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-05-d31ad-900.webp) ![Second-floor ordering area at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-06-1h1ej-900.webp) ![Hands Coffee lounge and ordering area](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-07-v5hln-900.webp) ![Hands Coffee ordering information](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-08-17lq0-739.webp) ![Hands Coffee menu ordering scene](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-09-o17qo-817.webp) I ordered Double Tray Hands Brunch Set A and chose paccheri cream pasta and chicken granola salad. I noted the set price as ₩27,300 at the time, with a notice that choosing the paccheri cream pasta cost an additional ₩1,000. My notes do not make clear whether that extra charge was included in the ₩27,300. I noted that coffee was ₩5,000 per cup. The café offered a ₩300 discount for using a tumbler with an iced coffee, so I used my own tumbler. ![Hands Coffee brunch and tumbler coffee order](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-10-1kj7s-900.webp) ## Which floor has Geumho River views and family seating? The third floor felt the most open, with the Geumho River visible through its floor-to-ceiling windows. There were sofa seats and bar tables that looked good for working on a laptop alone or taking a break. It seemed fairly quiet at first, but soon filled with guests. ![Geumho River windows and third-floor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-11-jiqfv-900.webp) On the fourth floor, there was a floor-seating area where visitors remove their shoes, which looked suitable for families with children. There was also a rooftop, where the river breeze would be pleasant in good weather. In summer, though, I wanted to rest indoors with air conditioning. ![Fourth-floor rest area at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-12-1l3pp-900.webp) ![Fourth-floor floor seating and rooftop area](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-13-pi73c-900.webp) ![Fourth-floor and rooftop space at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-14-18nbm-900.webp) ## How did the paccheri cream pasta and salad taste? After looking around each floor, I went back down to the third floor. A window seat had just opened up, so I sat there and ate Double Tray Hands Brunch Set A. ![Double Tray brunch by the Hands Coffee window](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-7f12/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-15-1fktj-1200.webp) ![Brunch set ordered at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-16-h7999-900.webp) ![Brunch dishes on a Hands Coffee double tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-17-1q9l2-900.webp) ![Brunch set eaten at a window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-18-otahn-900.webp) ![Paccheri cream pasta chosen for brunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-19-13i8r-900.webp) *Paccheri cream pasta* ![Brunch with Hands Coffee paccheri pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-20-10n2a-861.webp) ![Brunch dishes tasted by the Hands Coffee window](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-21-1s4i4-900.webp) ![Double Tray brunch set table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-22-bc0bh-900.webp) I chose the paccheri because I was curious about the pasta shape. Its wide tubes had a memorable chew, and the thick, rich cream sauce had soaked all the way inside. As someone who likes cream pasta, I found it well suited to my taste. ![Salad eaten with Hands Coffee pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-23-wgvp2-900.webp) ![Chicken granola salad from Hands Coffee brunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-24-1e15u-900.webp) The chicken granola salad was topped with chicken and nutty, crisp granola. Its fresh vegetables and tangy dressing refreshed my palate between bites of the rich pasta. The chicken was good too, but the baguette served with it was a little hard. The coffee in my tumbler had a clean, nutty flavor. Drinking it after the cream pasta cleared away the lingering richness, so it paired well with brunch. ## Is there parking and an elevator, and how late is it open? There was a large dedicated parking lot in front of the building. I heard that it can become busy during weekend peak hours because it overlaps with dining times at the first-floor restaurant. There was also an elevator, which seemed helpful for moving between floors with a stroller or with parents. The hours I noted at the time of my visit were 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily, open year-round. With options ranging from river-view seats to floor seating, it felt like a pleasant place to stay for brunch with family or a partner. ## Where it is - Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch (핸즈커피 동촌유원지점) (핸즈커피 동촌유원지점) - 5-6 Hyodong-ro 6-gil, Dong-gu, Daegu, South Korea — 대구광역시 동구 효동로6길 5-6 핸즈커피 동촌유원지점 - 대구광역시 동구 효동로6길 5-6 핸즈커피 동촌유원지점 - 35.8821099, 128.6480086 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B8%EC%A6%88%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%20%EB%8F%99%EC%B4%8C%EC%9C%A0%EC%9B%90%EC%A7%80%EC%A0%90/@35.8821099,128.6480086,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@the-coffee-ring/handscoffee-dongchon-river-view-brunch-7f12/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
