Even people who have no idea where Hongje-dong is will go “ahh” at the name Pobangteo. That’s the neighbourhood that got famous on TV. I heard a lovely bakery had opened there, so I went to take a look.
A place like this
Newly opened places these days really are faultless.
Bread
I just picked out a few things.
Bread
Maybe because I got there late the selection wasn’t huge, but the quality of each one is good.
Window
Inside
I reckon even Baek Jong-won would have nothing to complain about.

It’s quiet.

Sausage baguette
Galette
Anpan
Everything is tasty. If only it weren’t so far I’d go often, but the distance is the problem, I suppose.
