The sample at Boulangerie Tan: how does the chocolate baguette taste?

When I visited, they had a chocolate baguette sample out, so I tried it 🩷

The chocolate baguette has that classic nutty, crisp baguette crust, with rich, sweet chocolate studded inside. A surprise twist of a bread~

The mini jam is so cute too 🥰

How was the bread I took home?

Olive cheese ciabatta, a brunch bread for dipping in balsamic

Boulangerie Tan's olive cheese ciabatta is a meal-replacement loaf: soft, chewy ciabatta dough packed with salty shredded cheese and black olives ✨️

For a morning brunch, dip it lightly in balsamic vinegar and olive oil, or warm it briefly in an air fryer and it turns moist and soft, like it just came out of the oven~

Gourmet butter salt bread, Boulangerie Tan's signature bestseller

The gourmet butter salt bread sticks to the basics while maximizing the rich flavor of premium French gourmet butter, and it's said to be Boulangerie Tan's signature bestseller 😄

Honey garlic salt bread & roe potato salt bread

The honey garlic salt bread takes the nutty basic salt bread and tops it with sweet honey and a sharp, fragrant garlic sauce, which takes the flavor up a level!

The roe potato salt bread goes beyond a simple dessert bread; it's a high-quality item that works as a filling meal too, haha

Chocolate baguette, a bread that goes well with coffee

Baguettes can end up too tough or hard, but Boulangerie Tan's chocolate baguette keeps the outside crisp and the inside moist, haha It isn't overly sweet so you don't get tired of it, and it paired nicely with a bittersweet hot Americano or latte 🌟

Is Boulangerie Tan Unjeong Main Branch worth going back to?
