Bakery café lunch date near Ttukseom Han River Park: Stack Bakery

With the weather this nice, all kinds of events have been popping up at Ttukseom Han River Park lately. It's not far from our home, so we go often, and even without a special event it's a great spot for a stroll. Today I want to introduce a Konkuk Univ. bakery café you really should visit when you go to Ttukseom Han River Park: Stack Bakery, a perfect Ttukseom Han River Park date course.

Stack Bakery Konkuk University Station Main Branch is on Ttukseom-ro 31-gil in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 609m from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 5, about a 7–8 minute walk. It's a nice place to drop by after visiting Ttukseom Han River Park.

What kind of bread does Stack Bakery sell?

Stack Bakery is a Ttukseom Han River Park bakery café selling croissants and French pastries made in-house. Everything is made with care from dough to baking every morning, so you can try freshly baked items like the butter-rich plain croissant, the kaya croissant filled with kaya jam and gourmet butter, kouign-amann, pain au chocolat, flan and salt bread.

The menu also has a range of coffees and drinks, plus a brunch set of a sandwich and coffee if you want something brunch-worthy.

1st-floor showcase and 2nd-floor window seats

Stack Bakery uses an entire two-story building. The 1st floor has outdoor tables and the bread showcase, and the 2nd floor, with its wall of windows, has the seating. You can order on the 1st floor and take your food away, or head upstairs to eat.

The 2nd floor is cozily decorated, so it's lovely for spending time alone, and it's a good Konkuk Univ. café for a date too.

Lunch: sandwich croissant, red bean butter salt bread and choco flan

Stack Bakery isn't only famous for its bread. The coffee, brewed with beans blended by a roaster with 15 years of experience, is really good too, and it goes especially well with pastries. I visited at lunchtime and ordered a sandwich croissant, salt bread with red bean and butter (ang-butter), a choco flan, and a nutty latte to go with them.

The sandwich croissant has a crisp outside and a moist inside, with properly defined layers, and it's filled with ham, cheese and vegetables, so it's hearty enough for brunch or a meal.

The choco flan has a crisp pastry edge, and when you split it in half, the middle is rich, melty chocolate, chewy and deeply sweet.
