Gongdeok date café: spring terrace & weekend sellout, Fluffy Bake Shop

What is Fluffy Bake Shop?

Fluffy Bake Shop is a bakery café near Gongdeok Station, famous for baked sweets and salt bread made fresh in the shop. It has 16 kinds of madeleines, 9 kinds of financiers and 3 kinds of canelés, and they say the AOP-grade Lescure butter makes them moist, soft and pleasantly mild.

I found this Gongdeok bakery café while on a date near Gongdeok Station with Juni. All sorts of desserts are trendy these days, but madeleines and financiers have stayed popular forever, and we love them too, so we decided to visit Fluffy Bake Shop.

Where is Fluffy Bake Shop, and where can you park?

Fluffy Bake Shop is 148 m from Gongdeok Station Exit 2, a cute little shop with a madeleine logo on its white sign. If you drive, you can park for 1 hour in the basement garage of the SK Leaders View Complex 2 building where the shop is. We were out on a date around Gongdeok, so we walked over for some good desserts.

Fluffy Bake Shop's outdoor terrace and interior

Fluffy Bake Shop has outdoor tables, which are great for desserts and coffee in spring weather. On a day like this, tasty desserts and coffee at an outdoor table are the best, right? A gentle spring breeze, sweet desserts and nutty coffee. It's honestly pure healing.

This popular Gongdeok spot has coffee, tea and non-coffee drinks, plus a wide range of baked-sweet desserts.

There is also an eating area inside. The shop isn't big, but it's quiet and gets warm sunlight, so it would be nice to come alone and spend some time to yourself.

Little cute props are placed all around, and you can feel that every one of them was carefully chosen.

Are there still desserts left at Fluffy Bake Shop on weekends?

Fluffy Bake Shop is a dessert hotspot, so if you don't come early, the desserts are gone! When we visited on the weekend, customers kept coming the whole time.

Sure enough, it was a weekend at a popular place, so most of the desserts were sold out. But that's okay, let's taste as many of the leftovers as we can!

We buy bread even when we're not feeling down. Bread is always love.

And now Juni's hands get busy filling the tray. We both love desserts, so whenever we come to a place like this we just keep loading up. Besides, this is Fluffy Bake Shop, the famous Gongdeok dessert spot, so I decided to get everything I wanted.

Fluffy Bake Shop is famous for baked sweets and salt bread made in-house. I was really, really curious about the salt bread, but it was sold out, so sad T_T (it's okay, we can come again). The desserts are made with care using AOP-grade Lescure butter, and you can feel the owner's devotion in every shape, size and color.

What packaging options does Fluffy Bake Shop offer?

The bakes you pick at Fluffy Bake Shop can be packed in several ways, such as a 4-slot pulp lunch box or 6-slot and 15-slot shopping bag boxes. They'd be perfect as return gifts, for school events or for group presents.

How do you store and thaw madeleines, financiers and canelés?

Here is the storage guidance the shop gives.

• Madeleines: 2–3 days in a cool place, or 2 weeks sealed and frozen. If frozen, thaw for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before eating.
• Financiers: 2–3 days in a cool place, or 2 weeks sealed and frozen. Heat in an oven or air fryer at 160°C for 3–5 minutes, or eat them straight from frozen, which they say is tasty too.
• Canelés: about 2 weeks sealed and frozen. If frozen, thaw for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or heat in an oven or air fryer at 160°C for 10–15 minutes before eating.

We got 7 pieces. We wanted to try madeleines, financiers and canelés, so we picked a bit of each.

We ordered to take away and eat at home, and the owner carefully packed them one by one. Next time I'll come early and load up on the other desserts that were sold out.

What should you try at Fluffy Bake Shop?

Among the desserts there was also the trendy Dubai-cookie-style egg tart (dujjonku egg tart), and I totally recommend it!! It was so good it surprised me..♥

We devoured the Fluffy Bake Shop desserts the moment we got home. I recommend Fluffy Bake Shop, a Gongdeok dessert spot where you can feel the care and sincerity.
