Goyang bakery 1st-anniversary bread bag, cornet pie: Boulangerie Tan

Boulangerie Tan at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX: location and hours

Boulangerie Tan (블랑제리 탄) Hyundai Department Store KINTEX is on B1 of Hyundai Department Store KINTEX, 817 Hosu-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi, South Korea (543m from Exit 2 of Kintekseu Station). It's open Mon-Thu 10:30-20:00 and Fri-Sun 10:30-20:30, with parking, takeout, and separate men's and women's restrooms.

I visited this KINTEX bakery, where you can enjoy the real deal of salt bread: chewy, buttery and delicious.

How does parking work at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX?

Parking depends on how much you spend at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX, and if you're just grabbing bread to go, the 30-minute grace period is handy.

Is there still bread left at weekday lunchtime?

After parking, take the escalator up to B1, where the grocery section and food court are, and you'll spot the shop right away. It's rather small, but even among all the famous bakeries gathered here it's easily the most popular, and the customers never stop coming 🔥

At weekday lunchtime, when we visited, almost every kind of bread was out, but some corners were already starting to empty, so I bet many items sell out in the afternoon. If you want a specific bread, I recommend not coming too late!

Boulangerie Tan bread lineup: sandwiches, campagne, ciabatta and salt bread

The sandwiches run from the signature favorite, the carrot rapée chicken sandwich, to a jambon fromage sandwich, a sun-dried tomato sandwich, and a fig cream cheese sandwich.

For campagne (rustic country bread), there's a kabocha (Korean pumpkin) cream cheese campagne and a Gongju chestnut red bean campagne.

The ciabatta comes as onion basil chicken, plain, and olive cheese.

And the salt bread (a buttery rolled bread with a salted base): gourmet butter, garlic butter, pollock roe potato, honey mocha, red bean butter, and milk cream! A salt bread paradise with so many kinds 👍

Five cornet pie flavors and the gift box

Boulangerie Tan's cornet pies come in 5 flavors: vanilla, raspberry matcha, hazelnut choco, pistachio, and croquant caramel.

✔️ A box of 5 sweet, crispy cornet pies also makes a good gift.

What ingredients does Boulangerie Tan use?

Boulangerie Tan says it uses only Lescure Charentes-Poitou AOP butter, a house-cultivated natural levain starter, organic wheat, French wheat, natural butter, and dairy fresh cream, and follows a same-day production, same-day sale, same-day disposal rule. That makes this KINTEX bakery one you can trust ✨

I also captured the bread lineup of this Hyundai Department Store salt bread spot on video.

Coffee and seating at Boulangerie Tan KINTEX

The drink menu is simple, just americano, café latte and vanilla latte, but it's made with beans from the famous coffee spot Fritz (Old Dog blend) ☕️ You can switch to decaf and get a tumbler discount, so it works fine as a bakery café 👏👏

Right in front of the shop in the Hyundai Department Store basement there are café-style tables. I saw many people having a light brunch of coffee and bakery items, and it felt like a nice spot to sit and chat with a friend 😆

The 4 breads I took home from Boulangerie Tan

• Red bean butter salt bread
• Olive cheese ciabatta
• Kabocha cream cheese campagne
• Hazelnut choco cornet pie

Boulangerie Tan gives you a card explaining how to enjoy the bread and how to store it, and wraps each item individually with care. So thoughtful 👏👏

How does the kabocha cream cheese campagne taste?

The campagne is rustic but plain and nutty in flavor, and it's packed with kabocha cream cheese. It isn't very sweet, so it's easy to eat, and it brings out the natural taste of the ingredients. It's delicious and even healthy, totally my taste 👍 It would also make a hearty meal substitute on a busy morning.

Top dessert pick at Boulangerie Tan: the hazelnut choco cornet pie

The pie texture of the hazelnut choco cornet pie is art, so crispy it practically shatters. It's filled with nutty, sweet hazelnut flavor plus sweet chocolate, perfect for a coffee break when you want a sugar boost! If you asked me to recommend one dessert at this KINTEX bakery, the hazelnut choco cornet pie would be my number one 😍

I recommend Boulangerie Tan, the Hyundai Department Store bakery café in KINTEX that makes healthy bread with good-quality ingredients 💕
