Gosan Station bakery café, Daegu: Dubai & almond financiers at Aroke

Today I'm introducing a café with a lovely atmosphere in the Sigi area of Daegu. Drumroll~~ it's Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch (아로케 대구시지점), a place that puts me in a good mood every time I come.

Where is Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch, and what about parking?

Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch is at 3058 Dalgubeol-daero, Suseong-gu, Daegu (1st floor), in the Sigi area and close to Gosan Station on Daegu Subway Line 2. It's open 10:00–22:00. It had been a while since my last visit.

There are a few parking spaces in front of the shop, so if the timing works out you can park. For the record, I went at a quiet weekday hour and parked easily.

Aroke also sells brunch, so next time I want to time my visit right and try the delicious sandwiches too, haha

Interior and seating at Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch

Inside, Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch is a space with a Korean feel, where vermilion accent colors blend with wood tones. As always, I love the stylish mood. It feels warm and sophisticated at the same time.

It's different from the usual trendy cafés these days. The Korean palette is handled in a modern way, so it's a great place for photos. The name AROKE itself comes from ROK (Republic Of Korea), I found out. The Korean identity comes through naturally, right?~^^

The seating and spaces are divided up in different ways, so you can sit depending on your mood or taste that day. This time I sat in the spot with the cherry blossoms, and the café felt different from when I sat on the sofa before. With comfy sofa seats and outlet seats, it's a space you can come to with anyone.

They say Korean style is hitting it big worldwide these days, and I really think that's true. It doesn't feel tacky at all, but classic and elegant.

What kinds of bread does Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch have?

Near the counter at Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch, there are sandwiches and cakes too.

True to a bakery café, Aroke has lots of bread made fresh that day, but quantities are limited, so some items may be sold out. Sadly, the butter tteok (rice cake) had already been discontinued, T_T

There are lots of breads that go well with drinks: red bean buns, mammoth bread, ciabatta, Crochip, cheesecake, croissants, pain au chocolat, salt bread, kouign-amann, financiers, bagels and more.

The sweet, crunchy Crochip made from croissant looks delicious too, and there's even Dubai-style bakery items~~ So much variety, right?! haha

Blankets, napkins and water are self-service, so help yourself.

Drink menu and bean choices at Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch

The drinks at Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch range widely: americano, café latte, vanilla latte, cold brew, matcha latte, sweet potato latte, ades, yogurt drinks and tea. I like that with the house-roasted coffee you can choose tangy, nutty or decaf beans. There are also drinks reinterpreting Korean tradition, which makes it a special place.

It's spring, so new menu items are out too: lavender lemonade, Lavender Rich Blossom and lavender cold brew latte.

If you join the receipt review event you can get a freebie, so ask the staff~~

How were the café latte, chocolate kouign-amann and financiers?

What I ordered at Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch was a café latte, an iced americano, a chocolate kouign-amann, an almond chocolate financier and a Dubai financier. Everything I picked this time was satisfying♡

Café latte with nutty beans

For the café latte I chose the nutty beans, and the rich, smooth flavor is charming. The latte art is pretty too, and I think it tastes better than coffee with syrup added, haha

Chocolate kouign-amann

The chocolate kouign-amann is so pretty to look at, and it's crisp outside and full of deep chocolate flavor, which was just right for my husband, who loves desserts.

Almond chocolate financier and Dubai financier

The financiers at Aroke Daegu Sigi Branch come in a variety of kinds and are high quality too: crisp outside, moist inside, with solid fundamentals. Officially certified as a financier hotspot!!

Iced americano

For the iced americano I also chose the nutty beans. It's clean with a slight acidity, so it refreshes your mouth and is perfect with desserts. A perfect match with chocolate desserts♡
