Am I the only one who gets more serious about picking dessert than picking clothes? ### How is the salt cream latte? Sweet and salty in one cup A soft, thick layer of cream sat atop the dark coffee, looking delicious from the very first glance. The salty cream and bitter coffee blended together for a flavor that wasn't just sweet — one that kept drawing me back for another sip! Tasting the cream first, then drinking it with the coffee, really brought out that sweet-and-salty charm. ![Salt cream latte topped with a thick layer of cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakerst-brown-gangnam-sunday-shopping-cafe/bakerst-brown-gangnam-sunday-shopping-cafe-17-tds33-900.webp) ### A clean, straightforward iced Americano A refreshing iced Americano paired well with the sweet Gangnam Sand. The coffee's bitterness cut through the dessert's sweetness, so a happy cycle began — a sip of coffee, a piece of Gangnam Sand, another sip of coffee. ![Iced Americano enjoyed with Gangnam Sand](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakerst-brown-gangnam-sunday-shopping-cafe/bakerst-brown-gangnam-sunday-shopping-cafe-18-zxbdq-900.webp) ### Gangnam Sand: half the fun is picking the flavors With chocolate, green tea, and fresh fruit flavors all in a colorful array on one plate, it felt like a mini dessert collection. Between the crunchy cookies, a thick layer of cream added fun texture, and with so many flavors to choose from, it was a joy to pick one at a time. ![Cross-section of Gangnam Sand with cream between cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakerst-brown-gangnam-sunday-shopping-cafe/bakerst-brown-gangnam-sunday-shopping-cafe-19-mqzl6-1200.webp) ## Why Bakerist Brown works as a Gangnam Station pastry stop after shopping It looked so pretty I couldn't help taking photos.
