Menu and the breads to choose from

What sets Florisandwich apart

Florisandwich focuses on sandwiches you can enjoy in a healthy but filling way. They use antibiotic-free chicken breast aged for 24 hours and baked fresh daily in the oven, along with healthy breads like ciabatta, rye, and oat buns.

It felt like real care went into everything, from the fillings to the bread, to make the sandwiches a bit healthier. Hearing that they've been loved for over 20 years for their sandwiches alone had me excited before I even took a bite, as a fellow sandwich lover.

What was ordered, and the small touch that stood out

• Basil chicken apple bun ₩12,000
• Apple egg mayo sandwich ₩8,500
• Spicy chicken ciabatta ₩10,800

♥️ Quick heartwarming moment here! The older female owner was incredibly kind. I showed up over an hour earlier than my reserved time, and she happily said it was fine and started making my order right away.

And when I was standing around waiting, she offered me a seat to relax in, and even gave me a cold iced Americano that I hadn't even ordered. I was genuinely touched, TT

Honest taste test of all three sandwiches

Basil chicken apple bun, 12,000 won

The basil chicken apple bun has mild, light chicken and the subtle scent of basil coming together between slices of healthy, flour-free rye bread. The distinctive fragrance of the basil cuts through any heaviness, and the chicken is soft and moist, making it easy to eat without feeling weighed down.

Even though it's a sandwich, the rye bread itself was so good that every bite felt like eating a proper dish.

Apple egg mayo sandwich on rye, 8,500 won

The apple egg mayo sandwich combines soft, savory egg mayo with the subtle sweetness and crisp texture of apple. Egg mayo alone can feel a bit heavy, but the apple makes it much lighter and fresher.

It's mild yet slightly sweet, a flavor that would appeal to kids and adults alike without any complaints.

Spicy chicken ciabatta, 10,800 won (the pick)

My favorite chewy olive ciabatta paired with mild yet spicy chicken made this the menu that grabbed my appetite the most out of the three.

The subtle heat that creeps up brings out the chicken's mild flavor even more, and you get a savory taste the more you chew. It's cleanly spicy without being greasy, making it great as a satisfying full meal.
