No parking, though! ## Inside Bakerist Brown: four floors of seating in Gangnam One of Bakerist Brown's biggest strengths is simply how big the store is! With space from the basement to the 3rd floor, it feels less like a bakery you grab bread from and go, and more like a café where you can settle in and enjoy coffee and dessert at ease. ![Spacious seating at Bakerist Brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread-06-10iwf-m-900.webp) ![Interior space on different floors of Bakerist Brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread-07-1u60c-900.webp) ![Tables and lighting at Bakerist Brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread-08-1ktc5-900.webp) ![Seating good for sitting alone at Bakerist Brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread/bakest-brown-wakppu-salt-bread-09-1fokw-900.webp) It's a nice space to visit alone for a coffee break, and just as good with friends or a partner to chat over.
