Anyang brunch café for parents: French toast at Notten

This time, I visited Notten in Dongpyeon Village with my parents, without the baby.

For anyone looking for a good brunch café in Dongpyeon Village, this was a place I could confidently recommend for taking your parents, too. I went to see for myself why it is known as such a great brunch spot.

What is the atmosphere like at Notten in Dongpyeon Village?

I visited on Friday morning, and it was quiet and relaxed.

Parking can be difficult in Dongpyeon Village, but about six cars can park around this café, so I did not have to worry about coming by car.

The interior had an overall clean feel, and I liked how neat and uncluttered it was.

The tables were nicely spaced, too, so we could sit comfortably without worrying about the people beside us. It was such a comfortable space for bringing my parents that I was glad I chose this place.

You can help yourself to the tableware, and the food is brought to your table.

High chairs were available, so it looked convenient for visiting with a child as well. You place your order at the front.

The brunch menu we ordered at Notten

• Wheat bread plate ₩16,000
• French toast ₩12,000
• Bacon steak ₩19,000
• Avocado shrimp salad ₩14,000
• Americano ₩5,000
• Café latte ₩6,000

That day, we ordered three dishes: the wheat bread plate, seasonal campagne French toast, and avocado shrimp salad. Since I was with my parents, I chose three substantial dishes. Overall, the menu felt thoughtfully put together with wholesome ingredients.

Wheat bread plate

It came with a house-made morning bun, 100% rye bread, aged Gouda, Havarti, house-made jam and butter, and eggs. With such a varied selection, it was a brunch dish you could enjoy in a wholesome way.

Even my dad, who is in his seventies, enjoyed it deliciously with the house-made jam and butter spread on the bread, topped with cheese.

The antibiotic-free eggs arrived cooked to a perfectly pretty soft yolk. I liked it even more because the jam and butter were house-made and new to me.

Seeing that it suited my parents’ tastes, I could tell that the brunch here was not overly seasoned.

Seasonal campagne French toast

Two thick pieces arrived. The outside was crisp and sweet to bite into, while the inside was fluffy and soft. There were pieces of sweet kabocha squash throughout, making it feel even more wholesome. If you visit, I definitely recommend ordering this one.

Avocado shrimp salad

It had generously sized garlic shrimp and avocado along with greens. It was a refreshing salad to eat with the bread.

Paired with a hot Americano, it was just the right meal to enjoy with my parents on a beautiful day.

All three dishes were mild, so I felt comfortably full without feeling heavy afterward.

Notten in the morning, with lovely window light

The window seats had plenty of light, making them great for taking photos.

Because it was morning, the quiet café and natural light came together for a relaxing atmosphere. Notten in Dongpyeon Village was also a lovely place to chat with my parents and take photos together.
