Matcha white chocolate scone at Slow But Barrel, a Daegu bakery café

Where is Slow But Barrel Daegu, and what is parking like?

Slow But Barrel Daegu (슬로우벗베럴 대구점) is at 113 Sinpyeong-ro, Dong-gu, Daegu, and is open daily from 10:30 to 22:00 (last order 21:30). The large parking lot holds about 80 cars.

I visited Slow But Barrel, which often comes up as a must-visit stop on Daegu bakery tours (빵지순례). It's a big bakery café known for a different mood in every season and every corner, so I was really looking forward to it~

It's near Yonggye Station on Line 1, so it's easy to reach by public transport, and the big plus is the parking for about 80 cars, so no parking worries at all!!!

Inside Slow But Barrel: atmosphere and seating

Slow But Barrel Daegu has roomy, comfortable seating, it's great for coming with kids, and there's a separate area for dogs. The first thing you feel when you walk in is the sense of space! Thanks to the stylish interior and relaxed seating layout, it never felt stuffy even with lots of people. A nice place to enjoy café time with your pet too~~

Because the space is so big, there was a wide choice of seats. From window seats to tables for easy conversation, it suits a visit with friends, and it also felt like a good place to spend time alone.

The Louvre of Daegu: the pyramid photo zone

The signature photo spot at Slow But Barrel Daegu is the pyramid structure. There are photo-worthy corners everywhere, so besides enjoying bread and drinks, it's fun just to look around. The whole space feels like an attraction in itself. Thanks to its unusual atmosphere, the pyramid is nicknamed the "Louvre of Daegu" and is famous as a place for photos.

In one corner there's water and bags for packing up leftover bread.

How does the matcha white chocolate scone taste?

The matcha white chocolate scone (₩5,900) at Slow But Barrel pairs matcha's gentle bitterness with the sweetness of white chocolate~~ The outside has that plain, nutty scone flavor, and the matcha aroma comes through softly as you chew. As a matcha lover, I really enjoyed it.

Peach brot kuchen

The peach brot kuchen (₩6,900) caught my eye from the looks alone! The fresh scent of peach between soft layers of bread made it light and refreshing rather than heavy. A moist texture and a gentle fruit flavor go together nicely.

Is the apricot smoothie very sweet?

From the first sip, the apricot smoothie (₩7,500) at Slow But Barrel tasted of real apricot freshness rather than artificial sweetness. It wasn't a strong, sweetener-like sweetness but a natural taste, as if ripe apricots had simply been blended! The fragrant apricot and its gentle sweetness really come through, so it was great on a hot day. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes the true flavor of fruit.

Americano

The Americano (₩5,500) tasted clean and easy to drink.

Who is Slow But Barrel Daegu for?

The spacious interior, stylish design and wide range of bakery items all satisfied me at this Daegu bakery-tour favorite. It's a large bakery café that works well with kids and with dogs, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a relaxed café time.
