# Goyang bakery café with nutty coffee and salt bread: Boulangerie Tan - By Hyoju (https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-weekend-meals/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Goyang, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-weekend-meals/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-weekend-meals/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/index.md) ## In short Boulangerie Tan at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX is a bakery on basement level 1 of the KINTEX branch in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi, with a wide range of salt breads. Visiting with her dad around 6-7pm on a Friday, the writer ate two breads on the spot with an iced Americano and a vanilla latte, and found the beans nutty rather than acidic, a good match for the cream-filled breads. The one letdown at Boulangerie Tan is that there are no non-coffee drinks, though decaf is an option. ## Good to know - **Location**: Basement 1F, Hyundai Department Store KINTEX, 817 Hosu-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Drinks ordered**: Iced Americano, vanilla latte - **Drink menu**: Coffee-focused, no non-coffee drinks / decaf option available - **Breads seen**: Plain salt bread, red bean butter salt bread, garlic butter salt bread, choco cream salt bread, milk cream salt bread, garlic fromage sandwich, mentaiko potato ciabatta, fig cream cheese baguette - **Time of visit**: Friday evening, around 6-7pm *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![First photo from the visit to Hyundai Department Store KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-01-r6wqx-966.webp) ## Where is Boulangerie Tan? Basement 1F of Hyundai Department Store KINTEX on a Friday evening I went to Hyundai Department Store's KINTEX branch with my dad after work on Friday! This used to be a Homeplus, so the moment I went down to the basement floor, I saw a section that looked like it was in the middle of a closing sale, and I thought, "Huh? Maybe it's less crowded than I expected?" ![Basement 1F corridor at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-02-1ep4e-966.webp) ![Around the basement 1F food hall at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-03-1kshh-966.webp) ![Restaurant area on basement 1F of Hyundai Department Store KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-04-wkdp3-966.webp) Walking a bit further to the right, the mood completely changed. It had that clean, upscale Hyundai Department Store feel, with restaurants lined up and a proper Hyundai food hall as well. I visited around 6-7pm on a Friday, and while it wasn't so crowded you couldn't walk around, there were more people than I expected. And the perk (?) of this hour — I could see bakeries starting to go into closing-time sales.👀 ![Bakery section of the Hyundai food hall on a Friday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-05-1n3dr-966.webp) While looking around like that, the place I ended up at was Boulangerie Tan, Hyundai Department Store KINTEX. ![Front of Boulangerie Tan at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-06-2r6zr-966.webp) ![Bread display case at Boulangerie Tan KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-07-1uwkd-m-966.webp) ## Why a salt bread lover can't walk past Boulangerie Tan Boulangerie Tan doesn't stop at plain salt bread — they have several variations including red bean butter, garlic butter, choco cream, and milk cream salt bread. Honestly, I'm a total salt bread (soger-ppang) fanatic.🥐 I like it enough to go out of my way for good salt bread, so at a bakery I tend to look for it first. The second I saw Boulangerie Tan's display case, I just couldn't walk past. ![Salt bread laid out in the Boulangerie Tan display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-08-1xhj0-966.webp) ![Red bean butter salt bread and garlic butter salt bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-09-o4twp-966.webp) ![Mentaiko potato ciabatta and choco cream salt bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-10-10h1g-966.webp) It wasn't just plain salt bread — there were varieties like red bean butter salt bread, garlic fromage sandwich, garlic butter salt bread, and further down, mentaiko potato ciabatta and choco cream salt bread too... The moment I saw the menu combination, I thought, "Ah, this place knows bread." Haha. They were using ingredients popular at bakeries lately in a really clever way. ![Vertical shot of the Boulangerie Tan bread display](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-11-1x7k4-m-966.webp) ![Fig cream cheese baguette on the display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-12-wkv67-966.webp) ![Savory meal breads on display at Boulangerie Tan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-13-8pnz0-966.webp) ### The salt breads and sandwiches on the Boulangerie Tan counter What especially caught my eye was the cream cheese baguette topped with fig. Cream cheese and fig is honestly a combination that's hard to make taste bad, and it looked incredibly appetizing just from the visuals. Next to it were garlic butter salt bread, a bread using mentaiko and potato, and choco cream salt bread — so it wasn't just a large lineup of basic breads, it felt like "a bakery that knows what people are into these days." ![Milk cream, matcha cream, and choco cream breads on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-14-g9zdd-966.webp) On the other side, there were also breads using milk cream, matcha cream, and choco cream salt bread. The options ranged from sweet desserts to savory meal breads, so the range was pretty wide — next time I want to just buy a bunch to take home. If you're looking for a Ilsan bakery or a KINTEX bakery with lots of bread variety, browsing here would be pretty fun. ## Two breads and coffee with dad at Boulangerie Tan At Boulangerie Tan, rather than going overboard and buying a lot, I decided to pick two breads I wanted to eat and have them right away with coffee. ![Two chosen breads with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-15-1kbqy-966.webp) ![Boulangerie Tan bread with iced Americano and vanilla latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-16-13hb8-1200.webp) Bread is always tastiest eaten right after you buy it. Haha. The bread itself was delicious, but personally, the coffee was better than I expected. I got an iced Americano and my dad got a vanilla latte — the beans felt nutty rather than having a strong sourness, which paired really well with the bread. Especially with sweet or cream-filled bread, a sip of iced Americano alongside was just perfect.☕️ ## Boulangerie Tan's drink menu: no non-coffee options, decaf only There was one thing that fell a bit short at the KINTEX branch of Boulangerie Tan. ![Coffee-focused drink menu at Boulangerie Tan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-17-exkjt-966.webp) From what I saw, the drink menu was coffee-centered, so the lack of non-coffee drink options was a bit disappointing. Instead, there was a decaf option available for those worried about caffeine. So if you're visiting with someone who can't drink coffee at all, the drink selection might be a bit limiting, but if you're avoiding coffee because of caffeine, switching to decaf should work fine. For me, since the beans themselves were nutty and exactly my taste, I enjoyed it a lot.☕️ ![Iced Americano enjoyed with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-18-16noz-966.webp) ![Bread and drinks on the table at Boulangerie Tan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-19-1cs9v-966.webp) ## Is Boulangerie Tan at KINTEX worth a return visit? This time my dad and I kept it simple with just two breads and coffee, but after really taking in the display case, I ended up wanting to try even more breads. Haha. For someone who loves salt bread like me, the point of Boulangerie Tan is that it doesn't stop at plain salt bread — there are variations like garlic butter and choco cream. ![Display case eyed for takeout breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-20-1y6kj-966.webp) ![Cream breads on display at Boulangerie Tan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-21-47ymu-966.webp) ![Final shot of the bread display at Boulangerie Tan KINTEX](https://img.superchart.com/images/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening-22-v8a17-966.webp) They also make good use of trendy combinations like fig and cream cheese, and every bread looked appetizing enough to be picked out as a gift or for takeout. If you're shopping at Hyundai Department Store KINTEX and looking for somewhere to rest with a cup of coffee, or searching for an Ilsan bakery or KINTEX bakery, it's worth a visit. Especially if you're a salt bread fanatic like me who stops the moment I see one... you'll be doing some deliberating in front of that display case.😂🥐 Next time I want to try the garlic butter salt bread and the fig cream cheese baguette I didn't get to eat this time, one by one! ## Where it is - Boulangerie Tan, Hyundai Department Store KINTEX (블랑제리 탄 현대백화점 킨텍스점) - 817 Hosu-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, Basement 1F, Hyundai Department Store KINTEX branch - 경기도 고양시 일산서구 호수로 817 현대백화점 킨텍스점 지하1층 - 37.6683016, 126.7511391 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B8%94%EB%9E%91%EC%A0%9C%EB%A6%AC%20%ED%83%84%20%ED%98%84%EB%8C%80%EB%B0%B1%ED%99%94%EC%A0%90%20%ED%82%A8%ED%85%8D%EC%8A%A4%EC%A0%90/@37.6683016,126.7511391,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-weekend-meals/boulangerie-tan-kintex-friday-evening/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
