Dosan Park brunch café with aioli chicken sandwich: Mild High Club

Isn't the weather amazing these days? I pass by Apgujeong about twice a week, and I finally went with a friend to a place I'd been wanting to check out for a while. If you're looking for a hot spot in Apgujeong, this place has a trendy name to match.

Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch

Located near Dosan Park, this is the perfect place to enjoy brunch, pasta, and dessert. Naturally, it's also great for blind dates lol — there were a lot of blind-date couples there (fighting, guys lol). It's a place I'd strongly recommend if you're looking for an Apgujeong brunch spot, with everything from taste to atmosphere covered. Going there myself, I found a lot of hidden charms.

In this post, I'll give you the details on Mild High Club's location, atmosphere, and recommended menu items. If you like brunch or want a clean pasta meal, this place is worth following along for!

How to get to Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch, and where to park

Mild High Club Apgujeong Branch is about a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 5, so it's easy to get to. Being near Dosan Park, it's also a great spot for a walk after your meal. Apgujeong is famously hard to park in, but here, if you use a nearby paid parking lot and bring your parking ticket to the meal, you get a 5,000 won discount — worth noting.

It's set slightly back from the main road, so instead of a bustling vibe, it feels calm and relaxed. True to Apgujeong's reputation for cafés and brunch spots, there are plenty of luxurious-looking shops nearby too. It's easy to reach by public transit or on foot, making it a perfect meeting spot.

No parking on-site. Bring an outside parking ticket for a 5,000 won discount on food menu items.

Inside Mild High Club: wood tones with LPs and wine on display

The moment you walk in, the warm wood-tone interior and high ceilings catch your eye first. There's a big ceiling fan spinning up top, so it stays comfortable and cool even in summer. Natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows softly lights up the space, making it ideal for photos. Rather than feeling small and cozy, the interior overall is spacious and open, giving it that distinctive Apgujeong polish.

On one wall, LP records, a turntable, and various props are displayed, so it feels less like just a place to eat and more like a space to enjoy the atmosphere. There were also wine and cocktail bottles on display — the concept of transforming from a brunch café by day into a wine bar by night is really appealing.

QR ordering at Mild High Club: the two plates two friends shared

The ordering system here is super convenient — you just scan a QR code and order directly. Brunch dishes make up most of the menu, but pasta, sandwiches, and risotto also stood out as hearty full-meal options. After much deliberation, here's what I ordered:

• Butter garlic shrimp pasta
• Aioli chicken open sandwich

The signature menu alone was reliable enough that you couldn't go wrong. Another plus is being able to enjoy the place differently depending on the time — brunch during the day, wine in the evening. If you're visiting with several people, it's nice to order a variety of dishes to share. We were only two people, so we could only order two things, which was a bit of a shame haha.

Ta-da! Our order finally arrived. The dishes come out at a leisurely pace.

Butter garlic shrimp pasta at Mild High Club

The butter garlic shrimp pasta was exactly as it sounds — rich garlic aroma with plenty of thick, juicy shrimp. The thick sauce paired really well with the pasta. Squeezing a bit of lime on top added a refreshing tang that finished the dish perfectly.

Aioli chicken open sandwich on focaccia

The aioli chicken open sandwich looked so good it was perfect for photos lol. The combination of crispy oregano focaccia topped with juicy chicken thigh, arugula, and parmesan cheese was truly perfect. Exactly my style! It also came with a bit of jalapeño jam on the side, so you could add as much as you liked — a nice touch.

Book ahead — and if Mild High Club has a wait, walk to Dosan Park

Since it's such a popular spot, waits can get long without a reservation, so booking ahead is absolutely necessary. If the wait looks long, spending some relaxed time at Dosan Park nearby before coming back is a good option.

Why Mild High Club works as a weekend date spot in Apgujeong

Overall, this was a brunch spot with nothing to fault, from the food to the atmosphere. It's rare to find a restaurant in the heart of Apgujeong offering this level of taste and value, so it's clear why so many people already flock here. It's perfect as an upscale date spot as well as a casual meeting place with friends. From brunch to pasta to dessert, everything was on point here — I'd recommend it as your meeting spot this weekend!
