Craving French pastries? Miss the divine pistachio flavors of Parisian dessert shops? Say no more! Our recent dessert-hunting expedition has led us to uncover the hidden gems in Yonnam-dong, Seoul’s vibrant hub of culinary delights.
Joe and Dough (조앤도슨)
‘Joe and Dough’, the restaurant that makes you rave about their life-changing French toasts. Possibly the hottest spot among Yonnam-dong cafes, their French toast dipped in sweet syrup and having a shiny glow will first stun you with its appearance. But the real bewitchment begins when you taste the incredible texture – a perfect combo of crispiness outside and supreme softness inside.

Not to forget their cute seasonal ‘Chodang Ox Su-shu’.
