Is this Ttukseom Station café good for working on a laptop?

Forest Oven Lab sells coffee and other drinks as well as bread, so I'd recommend it if you were looking for a Ttukseom Station café to spend some time in.

The picture-window atmosphere at this Seongsu bakery was really lovely, and it's a great place to spend time without rushing.

Forest Oven Lab has regular tables as well as a bar table. There are outlets too, so it was nice for light laptop work over bread and coffee.

I also recorded the noise level inside the shop on video. If you're after a Seoulsup café with a nice mood, I recommend this new café, Forest Oven Lab.

The coffee at Forest Oven Lab was really good too. I ordered an americano, and it was nutty and went well with the bread.

I took bread home: how did my family react?

I was curious about so much of the bakery at Forest Oven Lab in Seongsu that I packed up a bit of everything to take home.

Let's start with my family's honest reactions, haha. Even my older brother, who doesn't really like bread, liked this Seongsu bakery. My family didn't know it was a sponsored visit, so these are genuine reactions! My brother loves cream buns, so I brought him the custard cream Munggu-reum, and he raved about it, lol.

Forest Oven Lab salt bread: hard or soft?

Forest Oven Lab sells salt bread in both a hard style and a soft style. If you like buttery, crisp salt bread, go for the hard style; if you like a slightly salty, dinner-roll style bread, go for the soft style. I bought both, and both were delicious, so pick by your taste, but do put the Forest Oven Lab salt bread in your basket.

How was the Forest Oven Lab croissant?

I reheated the Forest Oven Lab croissant in the air fryer, and it was plain but so delicious too. The layers were properly done, and the sugar coating made it even better.

Forest Oven Lab: final verdict

Forest Oven Lab is a newly opened Ttukseom Station and Seoulsup café with a lovely mood, a Seongsu bakery with lots of different baked goods and plenty of unusual items. I hope you stop by!
