Boulangerie Copain 블랑제리코팡

Boulangerie Copain is a European-style bakery on the first floor of 115 Huiujeong-ro in Mapo-gu, Seoul. It opened in Mangwon-dong in 2017. The name combines the French words boulangerie, meaning bakery, and copain, meaning friend. Bread production occupies a larger share of the compact premises than the retail area, reflecting its focus on baking rather than cafe seating. Baguettes and croissants form the core of the range, and the bakers' work with these two breads has appeared in Korean broadcast and media coverage. The baguette uses French flour. Its cut face shows large air pockets, while the exterior is crisp and the inner crumb remains moist and chewy. The version of the same baguette sold online weighs 280 grams per loaf. Croissant choices include the plain version and an injeolmi croissant, alongside brioche, bagels, milk salt bread, and standard salt bread. The whole-chestnut loaf is a square 410-gram bread made by folding sweetened Korean chestnuts into a soft loaf dough before baking. It contains milk, egg, and wheat, and is made in a facility that also handles nuts. A separate sweet-pumpkin and chestnut loaf has also appeared in the shop display. Basil crunch bread contrasts a brittle, crumb-coated exterior with a softer center; basil pesto sits over cream cheese inside. The chocolate baguette keeps the baguette dough relatively restrained in sweetness and distributes chocolate pieces through it. Earl Grey palmier carré has a broad, crisp laminated form. A Colby Jack sandwich has also appeared among recent counter items. The 280-gram baguette and 410-gram whole-chestnut loaf are distributed as separate packaged products under the bakery's name.
