Onion Anguk 어니언 안국점

A former Korean set-meal restaurant in a traditional hanok now houses this bakery café, keeping a wide courtyard and a mix of floor seating and regular tables. It sits down an alley near Anguk Station, the entrance sign is easy to miss, and there is no parking. With no buzzer system, orders are collected at the counter and carried to a seat. When the line is long, pastries can go out to the picnic tables near Jeongdok Library instead. The signature pandoro disappears under a snowdrift of powdered sugar; brush it off and the loaf underneath is smaller than it looks. Salt bread and croissants lean buttery, and the baking overall runs sweet and rich. There is no matcha latte, and the coffee is fairly standard. Staff handle English and Japanese.
