The blueberry ricotta croissant set costs 12,000 won, switching to an iced decaf americano adds 500 won, and the plain kouign-amann, pain au chocolat and apple cinnamon pastry were all crisp outside without being overly sweet. The 2nd-floor window seats at Stack Bakery make it an easy place to linger alone. ## Good to know - **Location**: 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (1st and 2nd floors) - **Hours**: Daily 8:00–21:00 - **Closed**: Every Wednesday - **Blueberry ricotta croissant set**: 12,000 won - **Switch to decaf**: +500 won - **Plain kouign-amann**: 4,500 won - **Pain au chocolat**: 5,200 won - **Apple cinnamon pastry**: 5,200 won - **Seating**: Outdoor tables on the 1st floor, window seats on the 2nd floor - **Price reference**: ₩12,000 ≈ $8.7 · ₩500 ≈ $0.4 · ₩4,500 ≈ $3.3 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Main photo of Stack Bakery Konkuk University Station Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-01-1dfja-1200.webp) I had errands near Konkuk University Station, so I stopped by Stack Bakery for coffee and some good pastries. I usually love croissants and pastries. I'd heard they use good ingredients and make everything in-house, so I'd been curious about this place, and the chance finally came up to visit. ## Where Stack Bakery is and when it opens Stack Bakery is located at 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, not far from Konkuk University Station. It's open daily from 8:00 to 21:00, closed every Wednesday. ![Exterior of Stack Bakery near Konkuk University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-02-1klrg-900.webp) ![Stack Bakery entrance with a big croissant model hanging](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-03-1b3z1-900.webp) The exterior was clean and had that classic bakery café feel. There's a big croissant model hanging at the entrance, which basically screams "this is a croissant spot"! ## Outdoor tables downstairs, window seats upstairs Stack Bakery is split between the 1st and 2nd floors. The 1st floor has outdoor tables outside, and the inside is where they bake and display the pastries, while the 2nd floor has full windows, making it a relaxed spot to sit and spend some time. ![Bakery display area on the 1st floor of Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-04-1akf6-900.webp) ![Interior of the 1st floor at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-05-q5jkv-m-900.webp) ![Outdoor tables on the 1st floor of Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-06-hkd10-900.webp) ![Space leading from the 1st to the 2nd floor at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-07-1yaqg-900.webp) ![2nd floor seating with full windows at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-08-s590e-m-900.webp) ![View of the 2nd floor window seats at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-09-w8xn1-900.webp) ![Relaxed interior of the 2nd floor at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-10-1fxwd-900.webp) Here's the 2nd floor. It looked great for a solo coffee, and just as good for chatting with a friend. I'm not a fan of crowded, noisy places, so the 2nd floor at Stack Bakery was perfect for enjoying some quiet time alone. ## What's on the menu at Stack Bakery Stack Bakery sells a range of bakery items centered on croissants and French pastries. There's plenty of variety — plain croissant, kaya croissant, gourmet butter croissant, kouign-amann, pain au chocolat, and more. ![Stack Bakery's bakery menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-11-1br20-900.webp) ![Menu board listing croissants and pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-12-11i57-900.webp) ![Stack Bakery's drinks menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-13-o9t4e-900.webp) ![Detailed view of Stack Bakery's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-14-p3il6-900.webp) ![Croissants and pastries on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-15-17gsr-900.webp) Just looking at it made everything seem so delicious! ![Coffee ordering counter at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-16-jic70-900.webp) They also serve coffee, so it's a good spot to enjoy pastries and coffee together. ### Pastries baked in-house every day Stack Bakery is a bakery café that mixes and bakes everything on-site. Apparently they start from dough-making to baking every day from early morning. Another highlight: they use beans blended by a roaster with 15 years of experience, pairing coffee well with the pastries. If you like croissants or French pastries, it's fun just browsing the variety here. ## What I ordered and what it cost Everything on display looked so good that I agonized over what to pick, and ended up going with the blueberry ricotta croissant set (₩12,000) plus iced decaf americano (+₩500). Since I wanted to try more, I also ordered plain kouign-amann (₩4,500), pain au chocolat (₩5,200), and apple cinnamon pastry (₩5,200). ## How the croissant and pastries tasted ![Blueberry ricotta croissant set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-17-1csom-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the blueberry ricotta croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-18-qq6fq-900.webp) Blueberry ricotta croissant — soft ricotta and tangy blueberry sandwiched in a crisp croissant! It was sweet with a light cheesy richness added, tastier than I expected. The blueberry-ricotta combo really worked. Plain kouign-amann — crisp outside with visible layers inside, great texture. Not super sweet at all! It leaned into the nutty richness of butter with a subtle sweetness, a solid classic flavor. ![Plate with plain kouign-amann](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-19-16fvj-900.webp) ![Close-up of the kouign-amann's visible layers](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-20-8o01s-900.webp) Pain au chocolat — the layered pastry was alive and crisp, with the chocolate inside subtly sweet. I liked the balance of the plain pastry with the chocolate more than an intense sweetness. ![Pain au chocolat pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-21-svn75-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the pain au chocolat's chocolate filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-22-1v4yo-900.webp) Apple cinnamon pastry — crisp pastry with sweet apple and a subtle cinnamon scent, really fragrant. The tangy-sweet apple flavor made it pair especially well with coffee. ![Apple cinnamon pastry with iced decaf americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-23-2mfb3-900.webp) Iced decaf americano — a nice balance of acidity and nuttiness that went well with the pastries. Good beans really do make a difference. ## Who Stack Bakery is best for: final thoughts ![Table view of pastries and coffee at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit/stack-bakery-konkuk-pastry-solo-visit-24-19t52-900.webp) If you're looking for a café near Konkuk University Station where you can enjoy coffee and pastries together, I'd recommend Stack Bakery.
