Sokcho dessert shop: ₩15,000 egg tart box, ₩1,000 off coffee, Doris

What is Doris Patisserie in Sokcho like?

Doris Patisserie (도리스파티세리) is a dessert shop in Sokcho Central Market that makes its own financiers (small buttery almond cakes), egg tarts and madeleines. If you are hunting for a gift to bring home from a Sokcho trip, this is the egg tart place I'd recommend.

To serve the best possible taste, they work by reserved pickup, and they sell freshly baked egg tarts at set times, so I was very happy with the taste. The inside of the shop was clean and the owner was kind. There is no parking of its own, so park in the Sokcho Central Market lot (paid).

At Doris Patisserie, the Sokcho egg tart favorite, you need to book and then pick up.

How do you book egg tarts at Doris Patisserie?

Doris runs on reservations tied to its 2 to 4 baking times a day, so check the opening hours on Naver Place and place your order by the day before. Walk-in sales are possible, but sometimes there is nothing left, so booking is the way I'd recommend.

• When you book, give the last 4 digits of your phone number, then say it when you pick up.
• Same-day booking is difficult, so book the day before.
• Orders come in boxes of 6 only (extras can be ordered individually).
• Booking is said to be open from 6 a.m. the day before pickup until 2 hours before pickup.
• Confirmations are sent in the order requests arrive, so just wait for the reply.

Send a text with the date and pickup time, the type of dessert and the quantity. Check the booking pickup timetable, and remember they are closed every Tuesday, so leave that day out.

Doris Patisserie egg tart prices and menu

The Original egg tart is ₩15,000 for 6, and the cream cheese and walnut ones are ₩16,800 a box, and you can mix them. The menu is 3 egg tart flavors (plain, cream cheese, walnut), 6 financiers and 3 madeleines.

Honestly, the prices at Doris are really nice. Each piece is under ₩3,000, so buying feels easy on the wallet. That's why it seems great for gifts.

What I ordered: financiers in 6 flavors

The financiers come in 6 flavors: Original, fig cream cheese, pistachio, coconut, Hwang cheese (golden cheese) and chocolate. They looked different from the financiers I was used to. The looks are so good that they would make a nice gift too. A true Sokcho dessert spot, with a great variety of flavors!

Sadly I didn't get to see the madeleines. They seemed to be sold out at the time I picked up my reservation. They come in 3 flavors: vanilla, lemon and Earl Grey.

When do Doris Patisserie desserts taste best?

Doris egg tarts are said to taste best crisp on the day you buy them. There is a guide to eating all 3 desserts (egg tarts, financiers, madeleines) at their best, so take a look!

Egg tarts are best fresh from the oven, of course! Chilled after refrigeration, they are good too. Financiers and madeleines are also recommended on the same day. But eating them the next day, they were still good.

Payment options and the ₩1,000 drink discount

Doris accepts a range of payment methods, including Zero Pay, Kakao Pay and Sokcho Sarang gift vouchers. Do join the review event too! They are generous with it.

Alongside the desserts, Doris sells Americano and other coffee drinks as well as non-coffee drinks. If you order one box of 6 desserts, a coffee or drink is ₩1,000 off.

How does a freshly baked Original egg tart taste?

The fresh-baked Original egg tart at Doris has a crisp, nutty pastry, and the filling has a gentle sweetness without being cloying, with a clean finish. Wow, the pastry is so crisp and nutty, the filling isn't greasy at all, the faint sweetness is lovely and the finish is clean, so I felt I could eat them endlessly.

With an Americano it's a perfect match, a proper egg tart! I could see why it's so popular as a Sokcho egg tart favorite and why people often can't buy one when ingredients run out. There was plenty of filling too, which I liked. Great flavor in the Original egg tart!

The free cream cheese egg tart from Doris Patisserie

The cream cheese egg tart came as a freebie, and its rich cream cheese went well with the crisp, nutty tart pastry.

Which Doris Patisserie financiers tasted best?

Of the financiers at Doris, I personally liked the Original and the Hwang cheese (golden cheese). The egg tarts are great, but the financiers taste as good as they look. Moderately crisp outside, moist inside, full of butter flavor, with a really good taste and texture, just as a well-baked financier should.

The pistachio financier has its charm too, huh? I thought this was an egg tart place, but the financiers are good as well.

A hefty financier! The sweetness of fig with rich cream cheese is just so good!

Doris Patisserie is my pick for anyone looking for a Sokcho dessert gift!
