Café Onion

.
.
It was previously a supermarket and restaurant, built in the 1970s, therefore the rather rustic look. .
.
Food wise, Cafe Onion serves up bread from the famed Bread 05 Bakery, with over 20 varieties to choose from all freshly baked in-house.

Let me know by commenting below if there are any NEW cafes (ie opened in 2018) I should check out. Cos I realised every time I Google, I get the same few names and my own site. 😅 .

they had korean names which i cldnt uds but we got (from left to right) their signature bun dusted generously w powdered sugar yet wasn’t too sweet, a cream cheese and condensed milk bar that was rly tasty and a chilli sausage crossaint stick. the iced latte was rly robust in flavour as well, one of the better coffees here in korea 🤗

But again... Anytime for a Pandoro ;) .
.
Yummy yummy... In addition we got a matcha scone too... Looks simple but yet is so nicely done to almost perfection...

Despite being one of the ‘Best’ items here, this pastry has got to be my least favourite among the 3. Do not get me wrong though, it’s still decently enjoyable with a fluffy, pillowy texture (swipe to view the interior), with an aromatic vanilla fragrance and subtle albeit distinct eggy flavour. Topped with a sharp tip of icing sugar powder, I would highly recommend to share this pastry unless you have a really sweet tooth, or otherwise omit some of that icing sugar.
2️⃣Seaweed fulvescens + Kajime with honey [5000KRW ~> $6]
Also listed under one of the ‘Best’ items here, this surprisingly surpassed expectation and was my favourite among the 3! 💕 Toasted to an ideal crisp, crusty perfection on its golden brown edges, the soft and pillowy interior possessed a pleasant umami flavour, coupled with a subtle tinge of sweetness from the honey infused within. Topped with a thin layer of ‘grass patch’ Kajime seaweed, this savoury toast deserves the Best’ award indeed! 🥇 3️⃣Black soybean scone [5000KRW ~>$6]
Exclusive to the Anguk outlet, my initial skepticism on this forlorn-looking pastry (we got the last piece left btw✌🏻) was warded off as I took a bite of this scone. The seemingly dry and plain-looking pastry was the exact opposite of what I had imagined it to be, coming with a sufficiently moist interior adorned with crisp golden brown edges. Topped with a dollop of black soybean mascarpone cream that was smooth, creamy with a slight grainy mouthfeel from the black beans embedded within, the substantial presence of it was a good complement to the buttery, fragrant scone.
.
On a side note, the palace-theme vibes and ambience of this Anguk outlet is definitely a perfect place for your insta-worthy #ootd here! 🤩 Perhaps you might consider heading over to Bukchon Hanok village that’s in the vicinity and wear a Hanbok while enjoying some scrumptious pastries here? 😉 .
