# Gongdeok café weekend financiers before sellout: Fluffy Bake Shop - By Chaerin (https://superchart.com/en/@golmok-coffee-walk/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after being provided a store visit by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@golmok-coffee-walk/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@golmok-coffee-walk/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/index.md) ## In short Fluffy Bake Shop is a baked-goods dessert café near Gongdeok Station in Mapo, Seoul. Visiting at 3:30pm on a Saturday, the salt bread and madeleines were already sold out, but six financier flavors — vanilla, chocolate, gamtae (sea tangle), Nunettine, apple churros, and melon — were still left and packed into a 6-piece box. The melon financier was a life-changing dessert, so the verdict is simple: go early on weekends before the case empties out. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F 106, Sanga Bldg 2-dong, 8 Baekbeom-ro 31-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (148m from Gongdeok Station Exit 2) - **Hours**: Mon-Fri 08:00-18:30 / Sat-Sun 11:00-16:30 - **Parking**: 1 hour free at the SK Leaders View Complex 2 underground parking lot - **Amenities**: Takeout, WiFi, delivery, easy payment - **Packaging**: Basic paper bag / boxed for extra fee (4-piece lunchbox-style box, dedicated 6- and 12-piece boxes) *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I was near Gongdeok Station on the weekend when a dessert shop I'd bookmarked ages ago suddenly popped into my head 😋 It's Fluffy Bake Shop, the place everyone raves about as the best baked-goods spot near Gongdeok Station ✨ It's so hyped among dessert lovers that I went in with high expectations haha. ## Fluffy Bake Shop location, hours, and parking - 📍 Location: 2F 106, Sanga Bldg 2-dong, 8 Baekbeom-ro 31-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (148m from Gongdeok Station Exit 2, on the AREX and Gyeongui-Jungang Line) - ⏰ Hours: Mon-Fri 08:00-18:30 / Sat-Sun 11:00-16:30 - 📢 Info: Takeout, WiFi, delivery, easy payment - 🚘 Parking: 1 hour free at the SK Leaders View Complex 2 underground parking lot ## The exterior of this Gongdeok Station dessert café ![Exterior of Fluffy Bake Shop on the first floor of a commercial building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-01-q5pbl-900.webp) It's tucked into the first floor of a commercial building, but the exterior already had such a warm, aesthetic mood that I couldn't wait to go in! ![A standing sign placed in front of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-02-10a2h-900.webp) There was this cute little standing sign waiting out front 🥹 ## A cozy, charming interior ![Interior decorated in wood tones and white](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-03-1x3ri-900.webp) Stepping inside Fluffy Bake Shop, the wood tones and white walls blended together for a really warm, snug mood 🌿 ![A corner of the shop styled with tasteful interior decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-04-jthsg-900.webp) The owner's stylish interior sense showed up everywhere, and it kept me in a good mood the whole time! ![A cozy seating area set up further inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-05-1j17a-900.webp) Further inside there was also a cozy little spot set up where you can sit comfortably and enjoy your dessert 👍 ## 3:30pm on a Saturday, and the case was already sold out ![Dessert display case covered in sold-out signs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-06-9bu4m-900.webp) I visited around 3:30pm on a Saturday 😂 Since the shop closes at 4:30pm on weekends, the display case was already pretty much empty 😭 ![Empty shelves where the baked goods had sold out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-07-bbg9b-900.webp) I never even got to see the salt bread and madeleines I originally wanted, since they were completely sold out — so disappointing! Luckily a few financiers were still left, so I decided to grab whatever remained 🥰 ## Lunchbox boxes and a 6-piece box perfect for gifting ![Lunchbox-style boxes and dedicated boxes for packing desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-08-10a6k-900.webp) Basic paper bag packaging is available, but for an extra fee you can get a pretty box instead 🎁 ![A 6-piece financier packaging box](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-09-1lhzj-900.webp) ![Gift packaging for baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-10-15lba-900.webp) 4 pieces go into a cute lunchbox-style box, while 6 and 12 pieces get their own dedicated boxes! Since I picked 6, I asked for the box packaging! ## You can order drinks here too ![The counter where drinks can be ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-11-1pp0q-900.webp) It's not just baked goods — you can order drinks as well, so you can enjoy your dessert with a drink right there in the café! I thought that was such a nice touch haha. ## Ranking the 6 financier flavors — melon is my top pick ![Six financier flavors packed in a box](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-12-18615-900.webp) The ones I brought home were vanilla, chocolate, gamtae (sea tangle), Nunettine, apple churros, and melon — six in total 😍 Seeing them lined up neatly already felt like a sugar rush before I even took a bite! ![Vanilla financier studded with vanilla bean flecks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-13-10ql7-1200.webp) The first one I tried was the vanilla financier, and true to its reputation as the shop's best menu item, it was studded with vanilla bean flecks for a really deep, luxurious flavor! ✨ And that gamtae financier apparently even appeared on the TV show Amazing Saturday! 👀 ![Cross-section of the gamtae financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-14-1oiqe-900.webp) But my absolute top pick — the one that became a life-changing dessert — was this melon financier 😭 It's genuinely the best melon dessert I've ever had, and one bite was all it took to fall completely in love! ![The melon financier named the life-changing dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-15-1xj26-900.webp) It was even better than the famous melon bread I had in Japan, to the point I wanted to come back and buy 6 of just the melon flavor next time! My ranking, from most to least delicious, was: melon > apple churros > Nunettine > chocolate > gamtae > vanilla haha. ![A financier with a bite taken out, showing the inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-16-tz3w2-900.webp) I stumbled in by chance and ended up discovering my life-changing melon financier — such a happy weekend 🥰 Next time I'm near Gongdeok Station, I'm definitely going early so I can finally stock up on the salt bread and madeleines that sold out this time! ![Baked goods from Fluffy Bake Shop packed to take home](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing-17-sqm81-900.webp) ## Where it is - Fluffy Bake Shop (플러피 베이크샵) - 2F 106, Sanga Bldg 2-dong, 8 Baekbeom-ro 31-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 백범로31길 8 2동 상가 1층 106호 - 37.5451725, 126.9497848 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%8C%EB%9F%AC%ED%94%BC%20%EB%B2%A0%EC%9D%B4%ED%81%AC%EC%83%B5/@37.5451725,126.9497848,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@golmok-coffee-walk/gongdeok-melon-financier-weekend-closing/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
