" Chef’s Kids Drink Menu "
I ordered an Iced Drip Coffee (4,000 KRW) and Strawberry Latte (6,500 KRW).
There’s also information posted inside the bakery about their philosophy and the benefits of their vegan whole wheat bread. They also provide instructions on how to store and enjoy it.
Inside, there are plenty of seating options, from window seats with a view to sofa seats.
They even have a group table that can seat up to six people, which is perfect for gatherings! 🪑
They’ve got the basics covered—tissues, straws, water, and even the Wi-Fi password are readily available. 💻📶
The restrooms are also gender-separated and super clean, which is always a plus. 🚻✨
Exploring the 2nd Floor – Rooftop and More
Curious about the second floor, I decided to explore!
To get there, you can take the outdoor staircase.
Just head outside through the passage to the left of the safe, then follow the brick path.
The rain that day meant the chairs were stacked up to stay dry, but I could tell it would’ve been a lovely place to sit otherwise. 🌧️☔
There are some charming rooftop tables with a cozy vibe, plus additional seating under a canopy.
If it hadn’t been raining, I would have definitely chosen to sit there! 😅
Inside the second floor, the space is just as clean and well-designed.
Most of the people there were quietly studying or reading, so it’s a perfect spot for some peaceful time. 📚☕
After I came back downstairs, I noticed that the bakery staff had thoughtfully cut the bread into bite-sized pieces for me.
Such a considerate detail! 🍞✂️
The Strawberry Latte wasn’t your typical strawberry milk—it had a special twist!
Once I mixed it up, the texture was smooth and the taste was perfectly creamy. 🍓🥛
As someone who loves sweet treats, the Carmen Brownie was my absolute favorite! It was rich and indulgent, just how I like it. The Salt Bread was chewier than other places, which made it even more delicious. And the Bousset? Not too sweet, making it the perfect companion for my drink. 🍮🍫
Chef’s Children has really captured both the ambiance and the flavors. It's a spot I’ll definitely visit again soon—there are still so many breads and cakes I haven’t tried yet! 🎂🥖
