Guwol-dong pizza spot, Brazilian roast, Colombian decaf: Withwich

Withwich is a place I went to for brunch and left fallen for the coffee.

On a weekend lunch, my husband and I visited Withwich, a well-known spot in Guwol-dong, Incheon. It has been picked for the Blue Ribbon two years running, in 2025 and 2026, so we headed out hoping for lots of pasta and wood-fired pizza!

I never expect much from brunch-place coffee, but here I changed my mind.

I'll explain why at the end :)

Where is Withwich, and what are the hours and parking?

Withwich is at 36 Seonsuchongongwon-ro, Unit 107, Namdong-gu, Incheon, on the ground floor of The Blue City building at the Guwol Seonsuchon rotary. It is open Mon–Sat 08:00–21:00 and Sunday 09:00–21:00. Last order is 20:30, and dine-in orders close at 20:00. For parking, use the building's underground car park and register at the counter.

With the brick facade, arched door and a PIZZA·PASTA·SALAD sign, you won't get lost even on a first visit. Park in the underground lot, register at the counter, and you're done 🙌

Blue Ribbon stickers sit side by side on the door, and the entrance pillar is packed with signatures from past visitors.

Is Withwich spacious inside, and is it good with kids?

Inside, Withwich is much bigger than I expected. Mediterranean-style murals, lemon trees and even seagulls painted on the ceiling make it fun to look around.

We sat by the big windows, with a view of a waterfall right outside, so the wait flew by.

There are high chairs, and serving and returning trays is self-service. Grab water, pickles, napkins, wet wipes and cutlery from the self-serve bar.

On one side is a coffee roasting room, and in the kitchen they were stretching pizza dough by hand. These two scenes turned out to be foreshadowing for today's review, haha

Withwich set for two: what's included and how much?

You order at the kiosk by the entrance. Pasta, wood-fired pizza, sandwiches and salads: the menu is wide even by Namdong, Incheon standards. We chose the popular Set 3, the Italian pasta and wood-fired pizza set for two! If you pick something above the base item, you only pay the difference.

How do Withwich's salad, carbonara and margherita taste?

All the food came out at once, and the table filled up in no time.

Ricotta house salad

Withwich's ricotta house salad tops vitamin greens, baby leaves and lettuce with one big scoop of ricotta, plus corn, cherry tomatoes and balsamic. Scoop a big forkful of ricotta with the greens: the soft, sweet cheese is neatly balanced by the tangy balsamic. The corn pops here and there and makes every bite a happy one, haha

Carbonara cream pasta

The carbonara looks saucy right from the first glance. It's not the thick, sticky style that's trendy now, but the old-school kind with plenty of cream sauce. Twirl the noodles and soak them in the sauce, and a rich nuttiness fills your mouth while salty bacon holds the seasoning right. The thick-sliced mushrooms get chewier the more you bite. It was exactly the carbonara I used to eat, a proper trip down memory lane 🥹

Margherita cheese wood-fired pizza

Withwich's margherita has the charred spots only a wood-fired oven leaves along the edge. The dough is chewy, and over the fresh tomato paste come savory cheese and basil in turn. Nothing sticks out, so you never get tired of it. Sprinkle on Parmesan from the self-serve bar and the salty flavor gets even deeper. Do try this combo 👍

Why is the coffee at Withwich better than at most brunch spots?

Now, today's twist ☕ The menu says the owner, a roaster, uses only beans he roasts in the shop himself, within one month of roasting. The Jin Americano uses Brazilian beans. From the first sip you get a strong bean flavor, a heavy body and a clear nuttiness that lingers.

The decaf is Colombian beans, with 99.9% of the caffeine removed by the Mountain Water process and carbon filters, they say. Unlike my expectation of something watery, it was fresh and rich with the body intact. I wondered if it was really decaf! I came for pasta and left remembering the coffee too, a great spot in Guwol-dong, Incheon.
