Nerdy Blue Burrow menu and what I ordered

Looking at the menu at Nerdy Blue Burrow, I could see why it's so popular. You can tell the owner put care into every single item. You'll be even more impressed once the food arrives.

After ordering, while we chatted at our seats, a staff member kindly brought the menu items over. The latte (₩5,500) was ordinary but tasty. You can switch to oat milk for an extra ₩500.

• Hazelnut chocolate pudding ₩6,900
• Berry Happy ₩6,900
• Latte ₩5,500

What does the Berry Happy bread pudding taste like?

Berry Happy (₩6,900) is a good-looking strawberry latte with a uniquely pretty purple color, made from house-made raspberry preserves (cheong) and milk. I met the strawberry latte of my life at Nerdy Blue Burrow today. Honestly, ₩6,900 isn't exactly cheap, but I took one sip and loved it so much that I was glad I ordered it.

I tasted yogurt in it. Above all, there's lots of fruit pulp, so it's fun to chew, and the not-overpowering sweet-and-sour raspberry is a totally new flavor compared with store-bought strawberry lattes, which was the charm for me. I picked it because it had a recommended mark and was happy with it, so next time I want to try the other 3-star drinks, the milk tea and the Nerdy Cream Mocha!

Is the hazelnut chocolate pudding soft and wobbly?

The hazelnut chocolate pudding (₩6,900) at Nerdy Blue Burrow isn't a soft, jiggly pudding. It's a bread pudding, with cookies aged in rich Valrhona chocolate cream to give it a bread-like texture. Hazelnuts and chocolate chips are sprinkled on top for extra texture.

Honestly, this is what I came for! It's the chocolate pudding Nerdy Blue Burrow is proud of. I'd seen reviews saying it had sold out and worried, but luckily they still had it. I was touched that they packed this much into a portion for under ₩7,000.. My companion, who had never had bread pudding before, loved it too! If you like chocolate, it's a delicious dessert that pretty much anyone can enjoy. They also have highballs and cocktails, and I think they'd go well together~

Free financier with the Naver review event

This is the financier (a small French almond cake) I got through the Naver review event at Nerdy Blue Burrow. It came with a heavy, nutty cream, and it was a crisp, tasty financier! I hope you'll join the review event and be sure to get one~
