Stepping into Taegeukdang is like traveling back in time to Korea's oldest bakery. The grand interior, complete with vintage chandeliers and a spacious seating area, makes it a fantastic meeting spot. The absolute star of the menu is their signature Monaca Ice Cream. The delicate, crispy outer shell pairs beautifully with the rich, barely-sweet ice cream inside. I also highly recommend grabbing a slice of their dense, plain Roll Cake (Roru Cake) and the decadent Fresh Cream Red Bean Bread. The nostalgic Butter Cake, decorated in a classic 90s style, is a delightful blast from the past. The prices are slightly higher than modern franchise bakeries, but the quality of ingredients totally justifies it. Grab your treats, order a plum ade, and take a seat to soak in the century-old atmosphere.
