Cheongju breakfast café: value picnic set & cooler bag, Eopcheonri382

A brunch café in Cheongju that's great for breakfast: Eopcheonri382 Chungbuk National University Branch

Eopcheonri382 Chungbuk National University Branch (읍천리382 충북대점) is a Cheongju brunch café near Chungbuk National University. It opens at 9 a.m. (10 a.m. on weekends), so it works well for breakfast. It's been a while since I sat down to write a blog post (●'◡'●) I went to Daejeon, then ended up visiting Cheongju to meet a friend's friend ☺ I was wondering what to eat for a light breakfast, and that's how I found this brunch café near the university, and I had a proper breakfast there.

• 📍 713-1 1sunhwan-ro, Seowon-gu, Cheongju, Chungbuk
• ⏰ 9:00 ~ 23:30 (last order 23:00)
• Sat / Sun - opens 10:00

I heard this Chungbuk National University café was named an outstanding franchise store by the head branch! Hearing that, it feels like it must be tastier than the other branches, doesn't it? 🤩

What's the inside of Eopcheonri382 like?

The inside is clean and pleasant, and the tables are spaced widely, so it was easy to chat. It's a quiet atmosphere, so I think it would also be good for studying at a café.

1L drinks, from Americano to non-coffee

Unlike other cafés, Eopcheonri382 also sells 1L drinks. Not just Americano but non-coffee drinks come in 1L too, which I loved. And best of all, the price is kind for 1L (❁´◡`❁)

Menu and value for money

This is the menu board. There are lots of drinks, plus poke, sandwiches and desserts, so it's a good place to visit if you're looking for a brunch café in Cheongju :) You can eat until you're full on about ₩10,000, so the value is decent too.

How do you order at Eopcheonri382?

You order at the kiosk. Use the kiosk for coupon or card payment, and order at the counter if you're paying in cash.

The kiosk has so many menu options that ordering alone took me 10 minutes, hahaha. You can get a drink and a sandwich in one go, so it couldn't be better :)

There's a self bar in one corner. It has forks and knives, water and wet wipes, so you don't have to ask the staff for each thing. (A place with a self bar is the best 😍)

What I ordered for breakfast and the prices

For breakfast at Eopcheonri382 I ordered the value picnic set, a bulgogi sandwich and misugaru (a roasted multigrain drink).

• Value picnic set - ₩20,800
• Bulgogi sandwich - ₩7,900
• Misugaru - ₩4,500

Value picnic set ① Chicken tortilla wrap

The chicken tortilla wrap I picked for the picnic set comes cut in half, so it's easy to eat. Soft tortilla, crunchy vegetables and tasty chicken make it delicious, and I think it's healthy too :)

Value picnic set ② Egg mayo sandwich

The other item I ordered with the picnic set was the egg mayo sandwich. It seems like they packed in a whole lot of eggs, haha.

You can choose between white bread and rye bread, and we just went with white bread! There's strawberry jam inside too, so it was sweet and delicious (*/ω＼*)

The set drinks: two coffees

The picnic set lets you pick 2 drinks and 2 items. I chose coffee to go with the sandwiches, and my companion said the coffee here was good and finished it in no time, haha. It was that nutty and tasty!

Rich misugaru (₩4,500)

I ordered a glass of misugaru too. I stole a sip, and the grain flavor was rich and the aroma was lovely. If you're looking for a café near Chungbuk National University, go to Eopcheonri382 right now :)

Bulgogi sandwich that tastes like a bulgogi burger (₩7,900)

Last, the bulgogi sandwich, which feels like even one piece would fill you up. It has sweet bulgogi, egg, tomato and lettuce, and it honestly tastes just like a bulgogi burger?? It's health food but tastes amazing, so I wanted it every morning.

Order the picnic set and you get a cooler bag even if you eat in

Here's the thing: if you order the value picnic set at Eopcheonri382, they give you a cooler bag even if you eat in the hall, hehe 😆 Pick a menu like the picnic set and the cooler bag comes with it, so it would be great to buy one to take along on a walk.

It was a healthy breakfast at Eopcheonri382. The menu is varied, so I'd recommend it if you're looking for a brunch café in Cheongju. It's near Chungbuk National University, so if you're looking for a café there, stop by and have a cup of tea :)
