Stores have also opened in Ikseon-dong and Seongsu-dong in Seoul.

Only one set of four salt breads is on the menu!!

They are baked 6 times a day at 9AM, 12:30PM, 2PM, 3:30PM, 5PM, and 6:30PM.

I saw it in Seongsu-dong too, but gave up because there was such a long line.
I didn't know they had it here, but I happened to find it while walking around Ikseon-dong.

It's a soft type of salted bread like a butter roll,
with a strong buttery taste,
and the bottom part of the bread was crispy and delicious

They put it in a stylish shopper with hemp string.
Payment is made at a dedicated automatic payment machine that also supports Japanese. Please note that only credit card payments are accepted.

★Dotori

Business hours: 9:00-23:00

"DOTORI GARDEN" is located about a 2-minute walk from Exit 3 of Anguk Station on Subway Line 3

It means "acorn" in Korean.

It is a cafe that was renovated from a large house, and the interior and accessories are very particular about them.

It has a nice atmosphere like the world of Ghibli.

After securing a seat, the first floor is divided into the bread section, yogurt section, and cash register, so you can order what you like from each section.

They also have cute acorn-shaped madeleines and popular salted bread.

The Greek yogurt is homemade and rich, with a good texture and is delicious!
The balance of the granola, almonds, sourness of the strawberries, and honey is perfect.

It's a popular shop, so be prepared to queue.

★Cafe Grandpa's Factory
9 Seongsui-ro 7ga-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea
Opening hours 11:00 - 22:00

About 5 minutes from Seongsu Station Exit 3.
It's right next to Inus Freesia Alley, which I introduced in my previous post.

The shop has 1st and 2nd floors as well as a courtyard, and there are plenty of photo spots.

Menus are written in Korean and English.

All the bread in the bread corner near the entrance looks delicious, and the salted bread is popular.

As it seems to be a cafe created by converting a factory,
the old exterior and interior give off a vintage atmosphere.

There are various spaces for seating, such as group seats, terrace space, and staircase chairs, so you can relax and unwind.
It was the best cafe.
