Gongdeok café with bar-table seats for solo visits: Fluffy Bake Shop

How to reach Fluffy Bake Shop from Gongdeok Station

It's about a 2–3 minute walk (roughly 148m) from Exit 2 of Gongdeok Station, so the accessibility is really great! Come out of Exit 2, walk straight to the right, and once you cross the crosswalk you'll see the 'Gongdeok Roastery' building on the corner.

Facing that building, walk about 50m further to the right and you'll easily spot the shop with the white sign and cute madeleine logo welcoming you 🤍🪽

Wood-tone bar table: easy for a solo coffee

Stepping inside, the cozy, warm wood-tone interior instantly puts you at ease.

Inside there are bar-table seats looking out onto the street where you can simply enjoy coffee and dessert, so it's totally comfortable for a solo café visit. Looks like a nice spot for a Gongdeok date too~!

Cute illustration posters hung all over the walls give the shop a charming touch.

What especially impressed me was that it's designated as a 'Neighborhood Sharing Shop' with the Mapo-gu Welfare Foundation food bank, meaning it takes part in donating to neighbors in need. Just eating dessert at this Gongdeok spot made me feel like I was joining in something good, which warmed my heart even more. 😆

What makes Fluffy Bake Shop's baked goods stand out

The secret behind why this place has been loved as a Mapo/Gongdeok favorite for so long is the top-tier ingredient quality.

Fluffy Bake Shop carefully selects the finest Lescure Charentes-Poitou AOP butter from select regions of France.

The rich, deep nuttiness of the high-quality butter pleasantly lingers throughout each dessert ☺ Some wall seats also have outlets, which was handy for light laptop work or charging my phone!

The smiley-face madeleines are especially cute, ㅠㅋㅋ and the heart-shaped raspberry madeleine is right up my alley 💗

There's apparently a gamtae (dried seaweed laver) financier — a financier and gamtae combo, I'm curious just thinking about it haha, I'll have to try it next time.

The carrot madeleine visual is so cute 😻 Overall the madeleines are pretty substantial and big!! You'd get full eating just a few haha.

What I ordered: salt bread and three madeleines

Ta-da, here's what I ordered ❤️

They packaged it up so neatly and prettily.

• Salt bread
• Espresso pecan madeleine
• Hallabong madeleine
• Nutella madeleine

I originally wanted to try the egg tart, but as of 3pm on the weekend it was sold out ㅠㅠ The tarts are popular so be sure to go early.

Crisp, buttery salt bread

The salt bread I was looking forward to most 🤍 The outside is baked golden and crisp, and the savory butter flavor is amazing haha.

It looks delicious with pearl salt dotted all over it. One bite and you get the deep butter aroma and nuttiness distinctive of Lescure AOP butter.

The savoriness of the butter and the saltiness create a textbook sweet-and-salty combo!

Espresso pecan madeleine with bittersweet coffee cream

Next is the espresso pecan madeleine. Whole roasted pecan pieces are piled on top, so it looks upscale just from the visual!!

Inside is a fragrant coffee cream, and its bitterness went really well with the dessert. Between the soft, fluffy texture of the madeleine, the crunchy, nutty pecan pieces add a fun bite 🥰 Thanks to the heavy, bittersweet sweetness, it paired nicely with a warm café latte or americano 😚

Bright hallabong and rich Nutella madeleines

The hallabong madeleine has such a refreshing look haha, the soft orange color alone makes me feel good, and the little stem detail is cute too 🍊

The moment you bite in, a bright, fruity aroma of hallabong jam fills your mouth. The citrus note of the sweet-tart hallabong cleanly cuts through what could otherwise be a heavy butter flavor. Strongly recommend for anyone who likes fruit-based desserts 💛

The Nutella one's chocolate visual is insane..🍫 It looks plain on the outside, but inside is intense Nutella chocolate jam! Just one bite and you're fully sugar-charged 🥰 There's even a marshmallow on top, so it's perfect for anyone who loves sweets.
