The highlight of this day’s Uicheon run was visiting Uisagye (우이사계), a café in Chang-dong ✨ ## Uisagye after running along Uicheon - Location: 178 Uicheon-ro, Dobong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 도봉구 우이천로 178) - Hours: 10 AM–9 PM - Chimney bread is unavailable every Wednesday - There is no dedicated parking, so Chang 3-dong No. 1 Public Parking Lot, a 5-minute walk away, is recommended - Separate restrooms for men and women, high chairs, and children’s drinks are available - Pets are welcome, and decaf coffee can be ordered Neatly settled beside Uicheon, Uisagye was created by renovating a red house that is a whopping 50 years old 🙂 The warmth of its time-worn red brick meets a modern sensibility, making this chimney bread spot feel wonderfully atmospheric even just passing by and looking at it ✨ Specializing in coffee and chimney bread, with a view of Uicheon’s changing seasons all at once, this Chang-dong café is perfect for dropping in and resting comfortably whenever you’re out running or taking a walk 🤎 - Chimney bread ₩5,500 - Chimney gimbap ₩8,800 - Americano ₩4,500 - Uisupenner ₩6,000 - Matcha latte ₩5,800 ## Red-brick exterior and outdoor tables ![Uisagye exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-02-1a785-900.webp) ![Uisagye’s red-brick exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-03-kkjir-900.webp) The exterior was so pretty from the moment I spotted it in the distance while running that I wanted to finish my run right away ☺️.. ![Uisagye exterior seen while running](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-04-18qk3-900.webp) ![Area around the Uisagye entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-05-1wxyk-900.webp) ![Uisagye outdoor table area](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-06-15cat-900.webp) ![Uisagye outdoor tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-07-u90mc-900.webp) The outdoor tables I saw before going in immediately caught my eye—the atmosphere itself was just so lovely 👀 Sitting outside when the autumn breeze is gently blowing would be pure happiness, I think 🤎 ## Wood-toned spaces on the first and second floors ![Uisagye first-floor interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-08-1xk9i-900.webp) ![Uisagye interior with natural light](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-09-1wj1j-900.webp) Soft natural light streamed in by the windows, filling the whole space with a calm, subtle mood 💖 The warm wood-toned interior, with the grain left beautifully visible, made me feel much more relaxed and settled 😌 ![The red staircase at Uisagye](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-10-6m5tx-900.webp) The red staircase leading up to the second floor was a real focal point ♥️ ![Uisagye second-floor space](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-11-18gf9-900.webp) ![Second-floor view of Uicheon and Bukhansan](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-12-136yh-900.webp) Head upstairs and a woody, cozy atmosphere opens up. Uicheon flows past one set of windows, while the other gives you an expansive view of Baegundae Peak on Bukhansan—such a top-notch view 💘 ![Uisagye second-floor terrace](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-13-f2cg1-900.webp) The second-floor terrace also had the best atmosphere 💗 ![Objects in the Uisagye interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-14-10k4w-900.webp) ![Objects on Uisagye’s first and second floors](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-15-1n5kn-900.webp) There were lots of objects to look around at on both floors, which made exploring fun ☺️ ![Corner table by the second-floor window at Uisagye](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-16-1kec6-900.webp) After much deliberation(?), I chose the corner table by the second-floor window 🤎 ## Ordering chimney gimbap and a matcha latte ![Uisagye ordering area](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-17-1y16f-900.webp) ![Uisagye tray and mugs](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-18-dyz4f-900.webp) ![Uisagye chimney bread tool](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-19-1thgs-900.webp) From the tray and chimney-bread tool(?) to the mugs, what at Uisagye isn’t pretty, exactly ..? ![Uisagye chimney bread menu lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-20-a0v3p-900.webp) ![Uisagye desserts and children’s drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-21-lllmj-900.webp) They had a full lineup of different chimney breads and desserts, plus drinks for kids. Everything looked delicious, but I ordered chimney gimbap and a matcha latte! ### Chimney gimbap ₩8,800 / Matcha latte ₩5,800 ![Chimney gimbap and matcha latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-22-tsz9x-900.webp) ![Chimney gimbap with arugula, jambon ham, and Emmental cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-23-1bpli-900.webp) ![Matcha latte and chimney gimbap ordered after exercise](https://img.superchart.com/images/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha-24-1ge53-900.webp) I wanted a late breakfast, and I wondered if chimney bread alone might be a little lacking, so I chose the chimney gimbap—and what an excellent choice it was 🫢 Inside the crisp-outside, chewy-inside chimney bread were arugula, jambon ham, and Emmental cheese, so it absolutely worked as a meal 🤎 The outside of the bread had a slight sweetness too, making that sweet-and-salty combination just right 😍 It was plated so beautifully that both my eyes and my mouth were happy ..! One sip of the matcha latte I ordered alongside it brought a rich, pleasantly bitter taste with a touch of sweetness, and it did its part perfectly in replenishing my sugar after exercising 💚 I usually only drink coffee, but having a matcha latte for the first time in a while felt like a refreshing change of pace! Filling up while looking at that pretty view after a run made all my fatigue melt away ✨ If I run along Uicheon again next time, I definitely want to come back and try another kind of chimney bread! I totally recommend this pretty Chang-dong café to anyone looking for somewhere to stop after a walk or run along Uicheon. ## Where it is - Uisagye (우이사계) (우이사계) - 178 Uicheon-ro, Dobong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 도봉구 우이천로 178) - 서울특별시 도봉구 우이천로 178 - 37.6364883, 127.0379651 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9A%B0%EC%9D%B4%EC%82%AC%EA%B3%84/@37.6364883,127.0379651,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-coffee-pause/uji-sagye-chimney-gimbap-matcha/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
