Richmond Bakery Seongsan Bonjeom carries a significant legacy in Seoul's baking scene, having transitioned from a Hongdae landmark to its current location in Seongsan-dong. Recognized as one of the city's top three bakeries, the shop focuses on chestnut-centric items. The signature chestnut bread features a crisp exterior with almond chips and a soft interior filled with sweet chestnuts. The Gongju chestnut pie and baumkuchen are also staple items that maintain a loyal following. The selection covers everything from traditional Korean sweets to Japanese-style cakes. Prices for basic bread items start at 2,000 KRW, and while the overall range is about 20% higher than competitors, many find the quality justifies the cost. SKT members receive a 10% discount, and Seoul Pay is accepted. Inside, the space at 86 Worldcup buk-ro is furnished with antiques, allowing visitors to eat on-site. A breakfast buffet runs until 11 a.m. for 8,800 KRW, offering a wide bread selection and coffee. Valet parking is provided for convenience. Visitors should arrive early as options decrease later in the day.
