Near Gongdeok Station, I want to share my review of Fluffy Bake Shop, a dessert spot overflowing with luxurious buttery smells and sweet baked goods 🧁✨

Honestly... this place feels like a hidden gem I wanted to keep all to myself, so I actually hesitated over whether to post about it at all 🥺 (If it gets too famous and all the bread I want disappears, that would not be good...!)

### How to walk there from Gongdeok Station

🚶‍♂️ Come out of Exit 2 of Gongdeok Station, go straight to the right, cross at the crosswalk, face the 'Gongdeok Roastery' on the corner of the building, and walk about 50m to the right,

and a white sign with a cute madeleine logo greets you!

It's really only a 2–3 minute walk from the station, so the accessibility is great.

## Inside Fluffy Bake Shop: Crayon Shin-chan figurines

🧸 In one corner of Fluffy Bake Shop, a row of adorable Shin-chan figurines are lined up, and it was fun just looking at them.

Shin-chan fans can't take their eyes off it, right? Hahaha

The wood-toned interior is warm and calm, so it's a comfortable place to sit alone and enjoy bread and coffee at your own pace, or an easygoing date spot in Gongdeok with a friend or partner.

Inside, there are bar-style seats set up where you can sit comfortably and enjoy coffee and dessert.

## What AOP Lescure butter adds to the flavor

![AOP Lescure butter plaque](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing-14-11g9c-966.webp)

🇫🇷 A gold plaque that caught my eye right as I walked in! Fluffy Bake Shop apparently uses only the top-tier French butter, 'AOP Lescure Charentes-Poitou Butter,' baking their pastries and bread fresh every morning 🧈 No wonder that nutty, luxurious butter smell hit me the moment I stepped in — it put me in such a good mood. There was also a sign marking the shop as an outstanding donor to the Mapo-gu Food Bank, which made me feel the owner's warm heart too!

![Fluffy Bake Shop drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing-15-hsopm-966.webp)

Here's the drink menu! Kakao Pay is accepted too.

## Arriving at 4pm: what was left after the sellout

When I arrived at Fluffy Bake Shop around 4pm, the popular lineup was already mostly gone and the trays were completely empty 😱 With my heart pounding, I combed through what was left and just barely managed to grab a few of the things I wanted 😭

![Empty baked-goods tray at 4pm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing-16-wj148-966.webp)

![Remaining baked goods on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing-17-1jlcj-966.webp)

Normally this place boasts a full, gorgeous lineup of 16 kinds of madeleines, 9 kinds of financiers, 3 kinds of canelé, savory salt bread, and the trendy Dubai egg tart (₩7,500) — but it's such a hit spot that if you go late, you might not even get to see it. Like me... (so sad).

### Honey tip: what time should you visit Fluffy Bake Shop?

💡 Since it's so popular, if you want to stock up on a good variety of the tasty items, I strongly recommend going before 3pm at the latest! The earlier you go, the better the bread you get, so getting there fast is always the winning move 🏃‍♀️💨

![Gift packaging boxes for baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-sold-out-timing-18-1ttzj-966.webp)

By the way, they have everything from 4-piece pulp lunchbox packaging up to 6-piece and 15-piece gift boxes, so it's perfect for return gifts or corporate treats! Group orders require inquiries at least 3 days ahead!

## How do the canelé, madeleines and financier taste?

😋 The precious desserts I gathered with everything I had amid the 4pm sellout battle!

### Canelé

A textbook example of crisp outside, moist and chewy inside! The more you chew, the more luxurious vanilla aroma and flavor come through.

### Madeleines: plain, Earl Grey and lemon

Fluffy yet packed with a heavy buttery flavor that fills your mouth. I picked up Earl Grey, plain, and lemon, and the ranking went plain 🥇, then Earl Grey, then lemon!

### Financier

Crisp outside, moist inside, and paired with an Americano (₩4,000) or café latte (₩4,500), it's an absolutely fantastic combination ☕️ This place is a financier spot for real... apparently it was even featured as a top financier shop on the TV show Amazing Saturday (episode 266), and the moment I took a bite, I couldn't help but think, 'Ah... I wanted to keep this to myself, but if it gets famous the bread will sell out even earlier' 🥹

## Final verdict on Fluffy Bake Shop

💡 Fluffy Bake Shop near Gongdeok Station generously uses quality ingredients (AOP Lescure butter), and the quality of every single dessert was really high! It's a spot I want to keep to myself... but if you're looking for a dessert to gift someone special, or want to try properly crisp-outside-moist-inside baked goods near Gongdeok Station, be sure to stop by! Just don't forget to go before 3pm ⏰ (and parking is free for 1 hour!)
