Fig, nuts, and Lotus financiers tasted side by side: CORR, Dongnae

I love baked goods so I've eaten a lot of highly-rated financiers, haha! While searching for a financier spot near cafes in Sajik-dong, I visited CORR, known as one of Busan's top three financier shops😊 The crust was the crispiest and had the richest, most buttery flavor of any financier I've had — it was seriously impressive from the very first bite.

CORR's location, hours, and parking

• 66 Yeogo-ro, 1st floor, Dongnae-gu, Busan, South Korea
• Hours: Daily 09:00–22:00
• Parking: Dedicated lot available behind the store

What's the vibe like? Two private rooms

CORR is near the back gate of Busan National University of Education and the courthouse intersection.

It looked spacious from outside too, and once inside there were sofa seats along the window and a large table in the center good for groups. Brown-toned walls and wood furniture mixed with lush plants for a warm yet stylish atmosphere🌿

CORR also has two separate private rooms, which seemed great for finding a meeting spot in Sajik-dong😊 Best of all, the male owner was so kind while I was picking out the menu that I felt good the moment I walked in😊

Financier flavors and prices

At the order counter, all kinds of baked goods were ready — financiers, rusks, dujjonkku, and more~

The display case had a lineup of tasty financiers — plain, cream cheese, Earl Grey, fig, salt chocolate, basil pesto, and more. True to being a top financier spot in Sajik-dong, there were 10 flavors to choose from! I loved being able to pick according to my taste.

✨ Let me lay out the prices~!

• Basil pesto ₩3,500
• Cream cheese ₩3,500
• Salt chocolate ₩3,300
• Fig ₩3,500
• Plain ₩2,800
• Nuts ₩3,500
• Lotus ₩3,100
• Dujjonkku ₩6,000

I ordered the basil pesto, fig, nuts, and Lotus financiers, plus the dujjonkku (double chewy cookie) I always love.

When you order the fine French tea brand Kusmi, it seems they serve it in this pretty teacup — the owner's sense of style really shows here!

Tasting notes: four financiers and the dujjonkku

Just picking up CORR's financiers by hand, you could feel the crust was baked firm! The moment I bit in it cracked audibly crisp, while the inside was moist and chewy — the contrast in texture was unmistakable.

Above all, the rich, nutty flavor of the butter came through so strongly that this was the most delicious financier I've had!

Basil pesto

The basil pesto had fragrant basil plus a salty note, and I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't like overly sweet desserts.

Fig

The fig had a large piece of sweet dried fig on top, and plenty packed inside too, so it was totally my style since I love figs! Honestly a lot of places skimp on ingredients, but here they were so generous with it.. I was touched😂

Nuts

The nuts financier had nutty peanuts covering every bit of the top, and the crunchy nuts paired really well with the buttery flavor.

Lotus

The Lotus had a crisp crumble on top combined with sweet cinnamon flavor, making it the sweetest and most enjoyable of the four.

Dujjonkku

The dujjonkku was packed full of kadayif inside, with lots of white chocolate along with pistachio, giving it a charm completely different from the financiers.

Final thoughts

• The crispiest, most delicious financier I've tried
• Rich buttery flavor is the main draw
• A café with a kind owner and spacious private rooms 💖

With so many financier flavors to choose from, it was fun picking different ones, and it's a place I want to revisit to try more flavors.

If you're looking for a top financier spot in Busan or a dessert café in Sajik-dong, give CORR a visit~!🐻‍❄️
