The parking lot was large, so I thought it would be a good place to meet by car. ![Large parking area at Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-03-1xise-900.webp) The interior had a vintage atmosphere. The second floor held the payment area and café, while the third and fourth floors also had seating, so it felt spacious overall. ![Café interior at Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-04-zbgjn-900.webp) ## What brunch and simple desserts are available? There was a wide range of brunch options, including a brunch set sold only at the Dongchon Resort Branch. The set seemed reasonably priced. At the time of my visit, it was available until 3 p.m. ![Brunch menu guide at Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-05-1knuj-900.webp) ![Brunch set guide at Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-06-tw0rd-900.webp) ![Brunch set sales notice at Dongchon Resort Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-07-rvkb5-900.webp) I saw the waffles in the display case and ordered the Häagen-Dazs ice cream waffle. ![Waffle and dessert display at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-08-19j0y-900.webp) ![Desserts displayed in the Hands Coffee showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-09-5px4d-900.webp) They also had cookies with roasted almonds and dark chocolate. They were sold individually or in packs of five, which seemed like a good option for a simple dessert. ![Desserts sold at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-10-104l8-900.webp) ![Cookie and dessert guide inside Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-11-1a7kt-900.webp) ![Almond and dark chocolate cookies at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-12-1wnn1-900.webp) Freshly baked ciabatta with balsamic oil was ₩5,000. The ciabatta looked thick, so it seemed like good value. ![Ciabatta and balsamic oil guide at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-13-19c8a-900.webp) There were also old-fashioned bingsu (shaved ice dessert) with a milk base and green tea bingsu topped with Häagen-Dazs ice cream. The bingsu prices also felt manageable. ![Old-fashioned and green tea bingsu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-14-1j0jf-900.webp) I had received the cold brew as a gift and tried it before, and I remember both its aroma and flavor being good. ![Cold brew introduced at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-15-13hn7-900.webp) ## What are the view and seating atmosphere like? There were many comfortable seats, so it looked suitable for studying. Areas throughout the café were set up like photo spots, which I thought would be nice for taking pictures with children. The overall atmosphere reminded me of a hotel lounge. ![Indoor seating at Hands Coffee Dongchon Resort Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-16-gm7yh-900.webp) The view of the Dongchon Resort bridge was striking. There was also a bar table that looked good for two people sitting side by side, and the fourth floor was decorated like a rooftop, making it suitable for photos. ![Fourth-floor space styled like a rooftop](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-17-4n7xy-900.webp) ## What did the Häagen-Dazs ice cream waffle taste like? We ordered a Häagen-Dazs ice cream waffle, a hot long black, a whipped-cream cappuccino, and Basque cheesecake. Since the waffle took about 10 minutes to bake, I asked for the drinks to come out with it. ![Waffle, coffee, and dessert ordered at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-18-a8ljn-900.webp) The glutinous-rice waffle came with two Häagen-Dazs ice cream flavors and whipped cream. The waffle was crisp yet chewy, and the ice cream felt pleasantly dense. ![Waffle with Häagen-Dazs ice cream and whipped cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-19-13e0g-900.webp) Vanilla was the default ice cream flavor, and I could choose one of green tea, strawberry, or chocolate as an additional flavor. I chose green tea, and it had a rich taste. The waffle's crisp texture worked well whether dipped in cream or topped with ice cream. ![Glutinous-rice waffle with vanilla and green tea ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-20-ejhl3-900.webp) ## How did the coffee pair with the cheesecake? The long black was full-bodied, with a lingering aroma. It tasted a little deeper and more bitter to me than an Americano. ![Hot long black ordered at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-21-18kre-900.webp) The whipped-cream cappuccino combined hot espresso with cold whipped cream. The smooth coffee, sweet cream, and cinnamon came together nicely, and it suited my taste because I like coffee topped with cream. ![Whipped-cream cappuccino ordered at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-22-js40w-900.webp) The Basque cheesecake was moist and dense. I especially liked it paired with the slightly bitter long black. ![Moist, dense Basque cheesecake at Hands Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-23-1usba-900.webp) ![Hands Coffee Basque cheesecake enjoyed with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-24-4971h-900.webp) ## 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 - 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/@where-coffee-waits/handscoffee-dongchon-waffle-cafe-77b0/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
