Which breads caught my eye in the Bakerist Brown showcase?
The flashiest items in the Bakerist Brown showcase were the vanilla kouign-amann and the fig kouign-amann. The vanilla one stood out with its cream topping decorated with chestnut, and the fig one had fresh figs on top of generous cream, which looked so tempting. Each one was decorated with such care and looked so pretty that it would be great for photos too.

Sitting at the Bakerist Brown outdoor tables
Bakerist Brown has outdoor tables, and since the weather was nice, I chose a seat outside instead of indoors. The atmosphere inside a café is lovely too, but on a good-weather day, sitting outside with a coffee is just so nice.
What flavors are in the cookie set (₩19,000)?
The Bakerist Brown cookie set comes in colors and flavors from chocolate brown to yellow, pink and green, with cream sandwiched between the cookies. Unlike the usual thick American cookies, these are thin and neatly shaped, so they look tidy too. They were a dessert that is nice to share in small bites with coffee. My favorites were the matcha and Earl Grey sandwiches.
Black sesame latte with plenty of rich black sesame cream
When I first got the Bakerist Brown black sesame latte (₩7,800), it reminded me of an Einspänner (coffee topped with thick cream). You enjoy the rich cream first, then drink the coffee underneath along with it. If you like black sesame, you'll love it.
If the black sesame latte is about enjoying a generous amount of cream, the iced café latte (₩7,000) was a basic coffee that is cool and clean to drink. Bakerist Brown was fun to look around and fun to eat at, from the variety of house-made pastries to the colorful cookie set and the nutty black sesame latte.
