Fritz Coffee Company, Jangchung
프릳츠 장충점
Nearest station: Dongguk Univ. Station (동대입구역) Exit 2
A bakery-cafe about a minute's walk from Dongguk Univ. Station Exit 2. It is split across three buildings, a hanok and newer blocks, and reviews describe it as roomy with several groups meeting there during the day on weekdays. It opens at 08:00 every day, and four blog posts say it is easy to bring a stroller in (two of them mention a ramp at the entrance). A May 2026 post says a morning menu (grilled sandwiches, croque monsieur and the like) runs 08:00–11:00, with other food from 11:30.

Tips
- Kakao Map and three October 2026 blog posts agree on 08:00–22:00 daily. Posts from 2025 and April 2026 give a 20:00 close, so the hours appear to have changed this year. Check a map app for the day before you go.
- Four posts say it is easy to get a stroller in: two mention a ramp at the entrance and one says the buildings have no steps. One notes the ground is uneven in places. There is no parking of its own; posts mention the Jangchung public car park (7 minutes on foot, ₩1,200 per 30 minutes) and the Dongguk University car park (₩3,000 per hour).
Yaksu · Places
Ganaan Ppyeo Haejangtang
가나안뼈해장탕A pork-bone hangover soup shop at 131 Dasan-ro. It opens in the small hours every day (03:00 or 04:00 depending on the source) and closes around 22:00, so breakfast here is a safe bet. A single bowl of ppyeo-haejangtang is ₩10,000; groups can share gamjatang, a pork-bone and potato stew (₩29,000 / ₩38,000 / ₩47,000 for S / M / L). Reviews mention a large hall and fast service. One blog says it has been open since 1983.
Geumdwaeji Sikdang (Gold Pig)
금돼지식당Michelin Bib Gourmand samgyeopsal (pork BBQ) restaurant, a three-minute walk from Yaksu Station Exit 8. It does not take advance bookings — only the same-day on-site waitlist — so there is no way to lock this in from abroad. Arrival time and how you register for the queue are the whole game.
Gimbap Cheonguk, Sindang 2-dong
김밥천국 신당2동점A branch of the Gimbap Cheonguk snack-food chain at 29 Dongho-ro 11-gil. It opens at 05:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, so it suits a very early breakfast. It closes at 13:00 on Saturday and is closed on Sunday. Anchovy and chili-pepper gimbap is ₩5,000 (blog, May 2026); other prices are not confirmed.
Hadongjin
하동진A gukbap (soup with rice) restaurant at 253-1 Dasan-ro. It is open 24 hours on weekdays, so breakfast timing is not an issue then. Weekend hours differ between sources, so check before a Saturday or Sunday morning visit. Mixed pork gukbap is ₩10,000 (blog, September 2026); dumplings are ₩6,000 and a medium plate of boiled pork slices ₩28,000 (Kakao Map menu, updated August 2026); braised oxtail is ₩64,000.
