Reservation
A September 2026 blog post says CatchTable booking works, but a July 2026 travel blog says there is no advance booking through third-party sites, so sources disagree. Reviews suggest arriving at opening (08:00) on weekends to avoid the queue.

Tips
- Kakao Map, two September 2026 blog posts and a July 2026 travel blog agree on 09:00 weekdays and 08:00 weekends. One September 2026 post gives 09:00 for Saturday as well, so if you are aiming for 08:00 on a Saturday, double-check a map app.
Itaewon · Places
Paris Baguette, Itaewon
파리바게뜨 이태원점A Paris Baguette (bakery chain) on the ground floor of 186 Itaewon-ro, about 40 m from Itaewon Station Exit 3. It is open 07:00–22:00 every day (Kakao Map and Naver agree). That is early for a bakery near Itaewon Station. Think of it as a place to buy bread or a sandwich to take with you; none of the sources checked says clearly whether there is seating. Prices are not shown on Kakao Map or Naver.
Passion 5 Hannam
패션5 한남점A bakery cafe at 272 Itaewon-ro, open 07:30–22:00 every day, all year (Kakao Map and several 2026 blog posts agree). That makes it an early-morning bakery option on any day of the week. It is two to three minutes on foot from Exit 3 of Hangangjin Station, one stop east of Itaewon.
Spoonery
스푸너리A brunch cafe on the 4th floor of a building right by Itaewon Station Exit 4, across from the Hamilton Hotel. The opening time is uncertain: Naver and three 2026 blogs give 09:00 every day, while Kakao Map says 08:00. Kakao Map's menu lists a full breakfast at ₩28,000 and bacon eggs Benedict at ₩24,000. Two blogs note many foreign customers.
Tartine Bakery Itaewon
타르틴베이커리 이태원점A bakery cafe on the ground floor of 214 Itaewon-ro. It is a late-morning option, not an early one: open 09:30–21:30 daily (last order 21:00), with bread out from 10:00 and brunch plates served 10:00–16:00 (per Kakao Map and 2026 blog posts). Kakao Map's menu lists the Tartine brunch platter at ₩21,800.
