I picked pastries from the ground-floor display, ordered an iced americano and a café latte, and enjoyed them upstairs where the light was great — and it's also a handy spot to grab bread on the way to Ttukseom Hangang Park for a picnic. Layered, buttery pastries with solid fundamentals make this a reliable neighborhood bakery. ## Good to know - **Location**: 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (1st & 2nd floors), about 8 min walk from Exit 5 of Konkuk University Station - **Parking**: Nearby Jayang 4-dong public parking lot recommended - **Hours**: 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM - **Closed**: Every Wednesday - **Ordered this visit**: Iced americano, café latte - **Recommended menu**: Croissant sandwich *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* This post was written after receiving sponsorship from the business. > 🥐 If you want to taste really proper pastry around Konkuk Univ. and Jayang-dong, Stack Bakery is the spot! Dozens of crisp, alive layers plus rich buttery flavor — a place where you can enjoy a real croissant-lover's variety of bread. 😋✨ ☕ With good coffee and a bright second floor, it's also a neighborhood bakery café where you can relax and enjoy bread and coffee at ease. 👍 ## Location and parking — 8 minutes on foot from Exit 5 of Konkuk University Station 📍 Location & parking 🥐 Stack Bakery is located at 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Walk down about 8 minutes from Exit 5 of Konkuk University Station and you'll find it without much trouble. 🚶 🚗 If you're driving, I'd recommend using the nearby Jayang 4-dong public parking lot rather than store parking. It was an easy walk from there to the bakery. ✨ It's a short walk from the main Konkuk Univ. commercial area, but that also gives the surroundings a bit more of a relaxed feel — nice for strolling over to pick up bread. 🥖 ![Exterior of Stack Bakery on Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Jayang-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-01-9nqo2-1200.webp) ## Hours and closing day? ![Stack Bakery hours signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-02-r7t2n-900.webp) 🕗 Hours 🥐 It's open from 8 AM to 9 PM, so you can buy bread nice and early — great for grabbing a simple breakfast before work or dropping by leisurely on the weekend. ☕️ 🌅 With bakeries there's a special fun in picking fresh-out-of-the-oven bread early in the morning, so if you want to try a wide variety, it's worth visiting a bit earlier. 😋 📅 Just note it's closed every Wednesday, so check the day before you go so you don't make a wasted trip! 👍 ## Ground floor bakery & coffee — a display case where you can even see the bread being baked ![Bread display case on Stack Bakery's first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-03-1rblw-m-900.webp) ![Pastries displayed on the first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-04-1khee-m-900.webp) ![Interior view of Stack Bakery's first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-05-2utn5-900.webp) ![Various types of bread on the display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-06-spxci-m-900.webp) ![Bread-baking work area](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-07-yfbds-900.webp) ![Coffee ordering counter on the first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-08-1a3e5-900.webp) 🥖 Stack Bakery has two floors — step onto the first floor and a variety of bread is displayed so appetizingly that your eyes are naturally drawn to it. The fun of browsing and picking bread piece by piece was real. 😋 👨‍🍳 In particular, you can actually watch the bread being baked and made on one side, which made it feel more like a proper bakery than a regular café. Add the smell of freshly baked bread and there's no walking past it. 🥐✨ ☕ You can also order coffee right there, so once you've picked your favorite bread you can enjoy coffee together in one go — a big plus! With so many kinds of bread, just browsing the display case was pretty enjoyable. A lot of people stop here to pack bread on their way to Ttukseom Hangang Park, so once the weather cools down a bit, grabbing bread here for a Han River picnic would be great. Certified Ttukseom Hangang Park favorite! ## Menu — bread that changes by time of day, recommendation is the croissant sandwich ![Bread menu displayed at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-09-l5mz8-900.webp) ![Croissant-style pastries on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-10-xa9qc-900.webp) ![Display case with bread that changes by time of day](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-11-wtrif-900.webp) ![Buttery baked goods and bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-12-54bt0-900.webp) ![Close-up of pastries on the display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-13-7rt76-900.webp) ![Glossy, freshly baked bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-14-th6ko-900.webp) ![Bread display corner at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-15-acf20-900.webp) ![Full view of the bakery's menu display](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-16-cz3zq-900.webp) 🥖 There are so many kinds of bread, and the time each menu item comes out varies a bit, so the best way to see what's available is to visit and browse the display case yourself. There's a quiet fun in the fact that which breads you meet changes by time of day. 😋 🥐 But basically, the bread here is genuinely appealing in that crisp-outside, soft-inside croissant style. Bite in and you get a deep, rich buttery flavor and moistness — pretty much anything you pick will satisfy. 🧈✨ 🏠 Since this is right in front of my house and I visit so often, I didn't eat it separately this time, but personally I have to recommend the croissant sandwich! A crisp, savory croissant packed with hearty fillings — really good as a meal substitute. 🥪 👍 If it's your first visit, it's fun to agonize over the options, but I'd recommend trying the croissant sandwich at least once! It's one of the menu items that still comes to mind even after many visits. ## Second-floor café atmosphere — good light, plenty of seats 🏠 From the outside the shop looks cozy-sized, but with both floors in use it's actually more spacious than expected once you step in. Pick your bread and coffee on the first floor, then head upstairs to enjoy them at leisure. 🥐 ☀️ The second floor in particular has really great natural light — the bright, warm atmosphere was impressive. The seats are also generously and comfortably arranged, good for spending time slowly with your bread and coffee. ☕ Rather than just a bakery where you buy bread and leave, this is a space where you can properly sit down at a café and rest. On a sunny day, having a coffee upstairs and taking it easy is really lovely. ✨ ## The pairing of iced americano, café latte, and bread ![Iced americano, café latte, and bread table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-17-17zkn-900.webp) ![Iced americano on a second-floor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-18-1y3ya-900.webp) ![A cup of café latte with pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-19-kezvy-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a croissant showing its layers](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-20-1m0te-900.webp) ![A bite taken out of a pastry showing its layers](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-21-1mvmo-900.webp) ![Crisp bread enjoyed together with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-22-1biyh-900.webp) ![Bread and coffee at a bright second-floor seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-23-yqsec-900.webp) ![Coffee and pastry pairing at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor-24-7u4f8-900.webp) ☕ This time I ordered an iced americano and a café latte — the coffee itself was good, but above all the pairing with the bread was really great. The coffee's aroma and taste blended cleanly without overpowering the bread's savory flavor. 😋 🥐 Freshly baked bread was crisp outside and soft inside, with a glossy sheen on the surface that looked so appetizing. Every bite spread that nutty richness through my mouth — genuinely happy-making. 🧈✨ 🥖 A bite of crisp bread, a sip of coffee — that combo made the whole time so enjoyable. A bakery really is complete when good bread meets coffee that suits it well. ☕️🥐 ### Layers that stay alive 🥐 At Stack Bakery, every piece of bread feels like it's saying "we're good at croissants!" Bite in and you can really feel the dozens of thin, delicate layers of pastry dough — genuinely impressive. 😋 ✨ The outside shatters crisply, while the inside tears softly along the layers, and the more you chew, the more the buttery richness spreads through your mouth — a properly excellent flavor. 🧈 🥖 No matter which bread you pick, you feel that distinctive texture and flavor of layers that stay alive — the fundamentals here are solid. Even though it's right by my house and I go often, every time I eat here I think, this really is good. 👍✨ ## Overall verdict 🥐 Stack Bakery, with crisp, layer-alive pastry and rich buttery flavor as its charm! No matter what bread you pick it's above the baseline, so it's a place I don't get tired of even visiting often from right next door. 😋 ☕ With coffee that pairs well with the bread and a bright second floor, I'd recommend it if you want good bread and coffee around Konkuk Univ. and Jayang-dong. Especially try the croissant sandwich! 👍✨ ## Where it is - Stack Bakery Konkuk University Station Main Branch (스택베이커리 건대입구역 본점) - 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (1F, 2F), South Korea - 서울특별시 광진구 뚝섬로31길 5 1, 2층 - 37.5359739, 127.0674993 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%9D%EB%B2%A0%EC%9D%B4%EC%BB%A4%EB%A6%AC%20%EA%B1%B4%EB%8C%80%EC%9E%85%EA%B5%AC%EC%97%AD%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5359739,127.0674993,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-saucer-window/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-sandwich-second-floor/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
