The menu changes seasonally, so they didn't have the items I initially wanted to buy, but they had some new offerings. I tried a lemon pistachio spoon cake, which had a good texture, but the lemon flavor overshadowed the pistachio. The pistachio paste, however, was natural and of good quality.
I really enjoyed the salt bread; you would never guess it was vegan. Additionally, the sticky mugwort pie had a great texture and flavor.

When I saw Korean people getting crazy with Salt Bread on Youtube, I really wanted to taste it (I love soft fluffy Korean style bread, they should be called โbunโ or โpastryโ rather).
I looked for the recipe of Salt Bread and realised it contained milk and butter, so I got very disappointed by the thought of not being able to taste it when in Koreaโฆ ๐
But here! This amazing vegan bakery cafe bakes Salt Bread and we were lucky to be there when they were open! ๐ฅณ
