A.Nook Cafe

I love A.nook Cafe. It’s one of the first cafes I discovered when I moved to Daegu. It is situated near the picturesque Apsan Mountain. This extremely popular cafe boasts a multi-tiered rooftop offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The bustling atmosphere of their weekend brunch cafe perfectly complements the mesmerizing scenery. However, this is not a lunch cafe. Go here when you have a lot of time to linger over your food and the view. Instagram Link

Verdant Cafe

In the meantime, let’s head to Gachang and the stunning Verdant Cafe. The cafe is a renovated warehouse that effortlessly combines coziness and delightful avocado-based offerings. Nestled in Gachang, Verdant Cafe is recognized as one of the best cafes in Daegu for its delicious avocado-based dishes and rustic charm. However, the exposed brick walls and ventilation add a touch of rustic charm to the large, open cafe. Indulge in their scrumptious avocado-based coffee and sandwiches for a truly gratifying experience. Instagram Link

So as we continue our cafe exploration, we find ourselves near Camp Walker at Libra Cafe. It’s a pretty astronomy-themed coffee and bakery.

MRNW (Mirae Farm)

MRNW (Mirae Farm) is a stunning architectural cafe and cultural art space located at 300-22 Hoguk-ro, Buk-gu, Daegu (495-9 Seobyeon-dong). Known for its circular design, three-story layout, and garden with a raised walkway, it offers a unique blend of brunch, desserts, and art exhibitions. Visitors can enjoy brunch daily from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at The Stalk, its first-floor restaurant, along with a selection of coffees and baked goods. While the desserts, such as the strawberry tart and caramel mushroom, were delicious, the cafe’s poor ventilation and limited seating made the experience less than ideal. Contact MRNW at 0507-1318-3893 or visit their Instagram here.

TITF

Yesterday, after riding the cable car up Palgonsan Mountain, I stopped by TITF Bakery Cafe. While the area was busy with hikers and brunch-goers, TITF’s parking lot was surprisingly empty—likely because Korean food wasn’t on the menu, a popular choice at 11:30 AM. TITF is a massive, three-floor gallery cafe and bakery with pop art for sale, much of it featuring American icons like Mickey Mouse, Ford, and hip-hop culture.

The all-white rooftop stands out with its colorful floral mural and realistic fruit sculptures. Inside, the first floor offers a variety of snacks, sandwiches, and Korean tea samples. However, my favorite spot was on the second floor, which features a variety of seating options, including a large cushion with a lit table in the middle. I settled near the window with my snack, kicked off my shoes, and watched Uncharted on my laptop. Two hours later, the cafe was packed, and it finally felt like a bustling gallery in Korea. If you prefer a quiet experience, visit early, around 11:00 AM, when it opens. It closes at 11:00 PM, with the last order at 10:30 PM.

The Blend Coffee and Wine Bar

Finally, our last destination on the Daegu Cafes Tour brings us to The Blend Coffee and Wine Bar, in my Suseong neighborhood. Subsequently, this cozy cafe is known to have delicious food and the warm hospitality of its owners, Belle and Orlando. As a result, It’s one of my favorite spot to unwind and savor the rich flavors of their coffee and wine selection. Facebook Link

** Unfortunately, Belle and Orlando sold the cafe and are moving back the US. So the cafe in under new management. Thus, I don’t have any new information.

La Pâte Brunch Cafe

La Pâte is an adorable brunch cafe near Beomeo Junction, located directly across the street from It Was G.O.A.T. The brunch dishes and coffee are both delicious and unique, with pastries also available. I enjoyed the tofu shakshuka, while my friends tried the Alfredo chicken and turkey sandwich, and we all left happy and full. The cafe offers outdoor dining areas on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the staff is friendly and English-speaking. For introverts, there’s even a touch screen for ordering. Highly recommended!
