These days, after a meal I naturally find myself looking for a nearby dessert café haha. This time, after eating in Gongdeok, I was craving something sweet, so I stopped by Fluffy Bake Shop. It's a bakery café that sells house-baked pastries and salt bread, and I was drawn in by the variety of desserts you can pick one at a time, like madeleines and financiers. If you're a dessert lover in Gongdeok, this is a place worth checking out at least once, so let me introduce it.

How many kinds of baked pastries does Fluffy Bake Shop have?

Fluffy Bake Shop is a bakery café where you can find pastries baked right on site. There are a lot of specialty pastry shops these days, but what I liked here was that the variety was really extensive. It's not just one or two signature items — you can pick and choose according to your taste, which makes it a great option for anyone looking for dessert spots near Gongdeok Station.

Ingredients matter for dessert too, and Fluffy Bake Shop apparently uses AOP-grade Lescure butter. It's a place that sells carefully made baked goods, so I thought it would also be great for finding a gift dessert.

Since it's hard to find a good canelé spot, I was extra happy to see canelé here.

You can find a wide range of baked treats from canelé to madeleines, financiers, and egg tarts.

There were also so many kinds of financiers, making it perfect as a Mapo gift-dessert spot. Unique varieties like gamtae (sweet seaweed) financier and melon financier were impressive too.

Picking your own tray at Fluffy Bake Shop: what I chose

At Fluffy Bake Shop, you use a tray and tongs to pick out whatever you like. I picked a good variety: salt bread, madeleine, financier, and canelé.

Everything looked so delicious that it was really hard to decide what to eat.

Also worth noting — there are drinks you can enjoy in the store.

Gift wrapping is available, and standard kraft bag packaging is also possible. There's kind guidance on how to store and enjoy the madeleines, financiers, and canelé too. The owner was really kind and the desserts were delicious, so it's a place I'd want to visit again next time I'm in Gongdeok.

With its Parisian vibe, Fluffy Bake Shop is a genuinely great pastry spot in Mapo/Gongdeok, and it's also especially popular among office workers in Gongdeok. The pastries are also a manageable size, so they're good for dessert after a meal, and just as good picked up to enjoy slowly at home. It was also the perfect stop for when you're on a date near Gongdeok and craving something sweet.

How Fluffy Bake Shop packs pastries for gifts and takeout

The packaging was really meticulous, which made it very convenient to carry home.

Each dessert was individually wrapped in its own kraft bag. The careful packaging was impressive, so I think I'll come back again for gift-worthy Mapo desserts.

How the choco stick financier and lemon madeleine taste

The financier at Fluffy Bake Shop already has a rich buttery flavor on its own, with a crispy outside and moist inside — really delicious. Topped with a luxurious-tasting chocolate stick, it was even better. This is genuinely one of my personal recommendations at Fluffy Bake Shop.

Next, I tried the sweet-and-tangy summer specialty, the lemon madeleine.

The madeleine also had that great buttery flavor along with a refreshing lemon aroma — really delicious. The combination of the crisp glaze and the soft madeleine texture was fantastic too.

The baguette-style salt bread, crisp outside and chewy inside with a strong buttery flavor, was also great, and the canelé, crisp outside and chewy inside, was exactly my taste. Every single baked treat was delicious at Fluffy Bake Shop in Gongdeok.
