Wakppu salt bread and financiers at Bakerist Brown, Sinnonhyeon bakery

< BAKERIST BROWN >

Bread-loving Gochujang here :) Have you heard of 'wakppu salt bread'?! It's a pretty revolutionary new bread that grafts the trendy wakppu ball onto salt bread. I found it at Bakerist Brown, a bakery near Sinnonhyeon Station.

Let me introduce a café near Sinnonhyeon Station that's great for enjoying both delicious bread and coffee at once :) It's a large bakery café that uses the entire building, from the basement all the way up to the 3rd floor. On my first visit especially, the range of bread was way wider than I expected, so it was fun just browsing.

Hours are 11:00 - 22:30.

How to get to Bakerist Brown, and is there parking?

Bakerist Brown is about a 4-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station exit 6, and about a 7-minute walk from Gangnam Station exit 11. If you head up the alley by the Gangnam Station CGV, it's easier to find than you'd think.

Being close to Sinnonhyeon Station, it's convenient to drop by before or after meeting someone, and it's also a solid spot for dessert or coffee after a meal in Gangnam. No parking, though!

Inside Bakerist Brown: four floors of seating in Gangnam

One of Bakerist Brown's biggest strengths is simply how big the store is! With space from the basement to the 3rd floor, it feels less like a bakery you grab bread from and go, and more like a café where you can settle in and enjoy coffee and dessert at ease.

It's a nice space to visit alone for a coffee break, and just as good with friends or a partner to chat over. Finding a café this spacious right in the middle of Gangnam isn't as easy as you'd think. So if you're looking for a wide, comfortable café near Sinnonhyeon Station, this could really work for you. A Sinnonhyeon bakery where you can properly relax!

Bakerist Brown doesn't just sell bread — there's also a good variety of coffee and ades.

• Americano ₩6,500
• Espresso ₩6,000
• Flat White ₩6,800
• Café Latte ₩7,000
