How did the pollock roe salt bread and apple cinnamon pastry taste?
The Bakerst's signature pollock roe salt bread and apple cinnamon pastry! The apple cinnamon pastry had big chunks of apple in it, so it was fresh and sweet and totally delicious! The pollock roe salt bread... I kept thinking about it even after I left, the true taste of pollock roe. It was so good, really!! I totally recommend it, so please get it when you visit!
Fig pavlova at The Bakerst Mangwon
The fig pavlova is piled with figs and stuffed full of cream inside, so insanely good! It's not too sweet because the figs balance it out, so you never get sick of it and keep reaching for more ~ 🥰
The pollock roe salt bread at The Bakerst was so good that I'll probably go back for it soon haha. It's one of the few spacious cafés in Mangwon, so I think it'll get crowded quickly!! Highly recommend The Bakerst ~~!
