Visiting alone on a weekend, the writer ordered an iced black sesame latte for 7,800 won, a matcha madeleine for 3,500 won and the Gangnam Sand set for 19,000 won, then took a sunlit window photo seat and browsed the dessert showcase and the goods corner.

From baked goods to cakes to sandwiches, the dessert lineup was insane. It's right between Sinnonhyeon Station and Gangnam Station, super convenient to get to, so I was very satisfied 🩷 Let me give you the honest review now~~~

## What's on the bread shelves at Bakerist Brown?

The moment I stepped into Bakerist Brown, the bread on display already had me drooling 🤤 It was packed with madeleines, which I love, so it honestly felt like heaven! Among the countless Gangnam Station cafés, this one stood out for its bakery-shop-level quality ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Maybe that's why most customers were piling their plates full of bread 😉 One perk of being an adult = you can buy as much delicious bread as you want! Hahaha, I scanned the bread with excitement too 📸

You can switch to decaf, so it seemed like a good spot to visit in the evening too. Plus there's a good variety of drinks beyond coffee, nice! I'm normally a hardcore iced-Americano person, but today I decided to try something new 🐶 I ordered the black sesame latte since the nutty flavor sounded delicious~~~

### The sunlit window photo seat

Tucked inside this atmospheric space is a hidden photo spot 😆 It's near a window where warm sunlight pours in, so selfies come out amazing here! I quickly grabbed a window seat, and by the time I finished looking around, my drink was ready 🔥

## How the black sesame latte, Gangnam Sand and matcha madeleine tasted

Let me start with the black sesame latte! A generous layer of smooth black sesame cream sits on top, pairing perfectly with the coffee-🫶🏻 The cream was thicker than I expected, which made it easy to drink, and the nutty flavor was rich and delicious. If you love that distinctive black sesame nuttiness, I highly recommend this one 😉

I was curious what the Gangnam Sand would be like, so I ordered it ➡️ This is genuinely the best for gifting! Every flavor is different so it never gets boring, and they look so pretty too 👍🏻 It was hard to pick just one, so I ordered one of each flavor — look how pretty the colors are 🥹ㅠㅠ

![Matcha madeleine topped with matcha chocolate](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakerstreet-brown-gangnam-sand-set-matcha-madeleine/bakerstreet-brown-gangnam-sand-set-matcha-madeleine-18-1rwcj-900.webp)

Lastly, the matcha madeleine has a really moist inside with a thick layer of matcha chocolate piled on top! The matcha flavor was more intense than I expected, so matcha lovers need to run here immediately 😆 The madeleine was so good I wanted to buy up every single one left~~~

![Goods corner sold at the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/bakerstreet-brown-gangnam-sand-set-matcha-madeleine/bakerstreet-brown-gangnam-sand-set-matcha-madeleine-19-1x4ri-m-900.webp)

## The goods corner, and would I go back to Bakerist Brown?

After spending some relaxed time there, I checked out the goods before leaving! T-shirts, stickers, mugs and more — Bakerist Brown had plenty of goods full of its own charm ✨️ The T-shirts had a surprisingly nice design, perfect for matching couple outfits on a trip.

This was my review of Bakerist Brown, a place I'd love to revisit with my boyfriend next time 🐶🦭 The vibe is great and both the bread and coffee are delicious, so I'd recommend it to anyone coming for a blind date too! Plus (important) the restroom is clean too 👍🏻 ➡️ Would I return: 200%
