DONAR

도나르 압구정점 Donareu Apgujeongjeom

Compiled from 29 blog posts read in fullSources →

Donar Apgujeong is a bakery and sandwich shop on the ground floor of the building next to Apgujeong Cathedral, a 3–5 minute walk from exit 4 of Apgujeong Station. It is a branch of Donar in Itaewon; two posts say it opened in June 2026. Focaccia, rye and salt rolls are baked in-house and sandwiches are assembled to order on that bread — from 12,800 won for the Earl Grey jambon-beurre to 21,000 won for the 72-hour-cured salmon open sandwich; a slice of focaccia is 2,800 won. Seating is scarce, so most people take away — 23 posts mention takeaway. Eat a sandwich in between 11:00 and 14:00 and a drink plus salad or soup comes with it. We read 30 posts dated 13 July to 23 October 2026; one was about a ramen shop in the same building, so we counted the 29 that actually visited.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

  1. There is a hand-washing sink in the shop itself — ten posts mention it. One liked not having to go to the toilet to wash up; another read it as a nod to people eating bread with their hands.
  2. Seating is tight. Eighteen posts say there is somewhere to sit: four give it as about ten seats, one as three tables, five as around four tables, two as four or five two-person tables. Seven call the shop small. Someone who works in the same building wrote that all ten seats fill at lunch.
  3. Sandwiches are not pre-made: bread is cut and filled after you order. Nine posts say so, and five note the open prep counter where you can watch. Several mention double wrapping and the sandwich name hand-written on each pack.
  4. For a bakery, it sells wine — 17 posts mention it, and two give house wine at 6,800 won a glass. Cheese, ham, jams and butter are sold separately too, and one post bought cheese to go with drinks.

Where it is

Map showing where DONAR is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

From the station

12 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

In a basementyes 0 · no 2 (of 29 posts read)

Nobody wrote whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or pushchair gets in — that means unknown, not absent. Two posts placed it on the ground floor of the building beside the cathedral.

No post says whether the toilet is inside the shop or separated by gender; one only mentioned that the sink saves a trip to it.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

  • Waiting barely comes up. A mid-September post found the shop quiet; another waited a little for a seat. That is too little to say whether there is a queue. One July post noted the food took a while.
  • Only four posts say who they came with: two with family (one with a child), one with a friend, one alone. Most seem to have dropped in alone for takeaway, but they didn't say.
  • Opening hours appear in 25 posts, all copied from the shop's listing: 23 give 10:30–20:30 daily with last order at 19:30, two give a 10:00 opening. Two say there is no regular day off. One post was told Wednesday is sandwiches-only with no loose bread for sale, and two say the lunch special runs Monday to Saturday only.
  • Prices shift over time. The Earl Grey jambon-beurre is 11,800 won in a 13 July post and 12,800 won from 28 July on. The hummus plate drops from 12,000 won (July–August) to 9,200 won (September), and the quinoa salad from 13,000 to 11,000 — we can't tell whether prices fell or the dishes changed. Of posts that judged price, three found it reasonable and one called the 21,000-won salmon sandwich pricey.
  • The menu turns with the seasons: summer specials such as plum gazpacho and a lavender-cucumber sandwich in July–August posts, pine-nut soup and ham-and-burrata from September, and garlic-confit chicken and a Cobb salad described as new in October.
  • Templated promotional posts are mixed in: four October posts share the same phrases in the same order, and seven from August–September repeat the same line about the interior's mood. One post discloses sponsorship, two say they paid their own way, and a July post written just after opening noticed the shop running a reviewer campaign. We did not rely on praise for the atmosphere.
  • Fourteen posts give the same phone number, 02-6409-8756. Only one copied a note that phone bookings are possible; nobody wrote that they booked.
