I love bread, so I can never walk past a good bakery. This time I heard about a place near Wangsimni Station where you can try croissants and salt bread made with French butter, so off I went. Jakeun Ojilin (작은어질인) is the bakery brand of Café Ojilin, which I wrote about before, and it focuses on baking. A buttery pastry spot in Wangsimni: Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch, let's go!

## Location and hours of Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch

Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch is 30 seconds from Wangsimni Station Exit 6. It is open every day, Monday to Sunday, 08:00-19:00.

## How is Jakeun Ojilin different from Café Ojilin?

As the name suggests, Jakeun Ojilin is connected to Café Ojilin.

Café Ojilin is a space for enjoying coffee and desserts together, while Jakeun Ojilin is a bakery that specializes in making bread.

### Baked fresh every morning, made the same day

They say a pâtissier bakes the bread by hand every morning. I was impressed that they don't sell bread made the day before and stick to same-day production.

With bread, the crisp texture and butter flavor when it's freshly baked matter so much, right? It felt like a bakery that cares about freshness and quality.

## Where do you eat the bread from Jakeun Ojilin?

Jakeun Ojilin is a bakery-only shop, so there is no seating inside to eat the bread. If you want to eat right after buying, I recommend the nearby Café Ojilin. Bread bought at Jakeun Ojilin can reportedly be eaten at Café Ojilin, but you need to order drinks there separately.

The lineup at Jakeun Ojilin clearly differs from Café Ojilin. Café Ojilin had a really wide variety of madeleines and financiers. Jakeun Ojilin has madeleines and financiers in basic flavors, and the focus is on bakery items like croissants and salt bread. If you're looking for a bakery café in Wangsimni, keep the character of each space in mind when you visit.

### Visiting near closing: lots of bread sold out

I got there close to closing time, and sadly many breads were already sold out. If you want a wide choice of good bread, it's better to go a bit earlier. Luckily the signature croissant and salt bread were still available, so I could buy them!!

## What we ordered at Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch, and prices

What we ordered was...!!!

- Croissant - ₩3,900
- Classic salt bread - ₩3,000
- Pain suisse - ₩5,800

Jakeun Ojilin sells a variety of pastries, including croissants and salt bread. The signature croissant in particular is made with a lot of care starting from the ingredients. It's said to use French flour and Lescure AOP butter. Lescure AOP butter is AOP-certified butter made from milk from the Normandy region of France. AOP is France's protected designation of origin system, which regulates origin and traditional production methods. The butter is said to be known for a deep, rich flavor from natural fermentation, with no artificial aroma added.

## Jakeun Ojilin classic salt bread: still good when cold?

The first thing I tried was the ₩3,000 classic salt bread. I really love salt bread (a buttery roll with a salted base) and always order it at a new bakery. Jakeun Ojilin's salt bread was really good. I ate it right after buying, and it had already cooled down. Even so, the butter flavor was so strong. The butter aroma spread through my mouth with the first bite, and I was honestly surprised at how good it was. Crisp outside, moist inside thanks to the butter!! And when I tore it in half, it had that signature salt bread cave, clearly formed.

The hollow space made as the butter melts inside is one of the charms of salt bread, right? Jakeun Ojilin's had it so clearly that I liked it even more. Honestly, if it's this good cold, I wondered how good it must be fresh from the oven. Personally it was one of the most memorable breads I had that day. If you're hunting for great salt bread near Wangsimni Station, please try it.

## Lescure AOP butter croissant

Next was the signature ₩3,900 croissant. It's said to be made with French flour and Lescure AOP butter, so I was looking forward to that classic croissant butter flavor. The texture from the many layers of dough matters in a croissant, right? Jakeun Ojilin's croissant had the charm of a traditional croissant: crisp outside with the layers intact inside.

While eating, I kept thinking how good it would be lightly toasted in a Balmuda toaster. A croissant gets even more buttery and crisper when warmed a little, right? Next time I want to come earlier and try a freshly baked one.

## Pain suisse with vanilla bean custard and chocolate chips

Third was the ₩5,800 pain suisse. Pain suisse is a pastry with vanilla bean custard cream and chocolate chips. Jakeun Ojilin's version is described as moist cream combined with chocolate chips.

Personally I think pain suisse is appealing for the combo of crisp pastry and sweet cream, and Jakeun Ojilin nailed that combo. What I liked most was how the pastry shattered layer by layer with a crackle. One bite and the thin pastry layers break apart and mingle with the soft cream inside.

The sweetness of the vanilla bean custard plus chocolate chips made it nice to enjoy like a dessert. If the salt bread was about savoring pure butter flavor, the pain suisse was about crisp pastry together with sweet cream. If you like pastry with distinct layers, I think you'll be satisfied.

## Verdict: Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch is a bakery you need to visit early

Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch impressed me with its crisp pastry and rich butter flavor. I also liked that a pâtissier bakes by hand every morning and sticks to same-day production. The downside was that I came right before closing and many breads were sold out. Next time I want to come earlier, look at the full range of bakery items and try freshly baked bread. If you're looking for a bakery café near Wangsimni Station, I highly recommend Jakeun Ojilin Wangsimni Station branch.
