Artist Bakery

I arrived a little after 9 AM on a holiday and there was a huge line in front of the shop, but since they have a ticketing system, it was surprisingly smooth to just walk around the area and kill some time. The famous salt bread was delicious. Personally, the truffle flavor was the best.

Arrived just after opening. Since it's a very popular spot, I adjusted my travel time while checking the waiting status. I had a reservation, so I was able to get in with minimal wait. As someone who regularly visits bakery shops in department store basements, I was half-expectant and half-curious about what their croissants would be like. The salt bread was delicious with just the right amount of salt. The cream-filled one was tasty, with a light sweetness and plenty of cream inside. My daughter and grandchild loved the garlic bread, but it was a bit too strong for me. For the truffle oil bread, I prefer dipping a regular croissant in truffle oil myself. My daughter wanted to buy another garlic bread to go, but the shop was already getting crowded, so we gave up. We decided to save it for our next trip to Korea. The mushroom soup had a nice creamy flavor, but it could have used a bit more of an accent. I ordered a café au lait, but it never came; I asked a few times, but they just said they were preparing it in order. I wanted to have it with my bread, so I ended up canceling it. That was a shame, but I enjoyed trying various types of bread.

I happened to pass by and was told I could go right in for takeout, so I went inside. They had a good selection, and after some deliberation, I bought a few things to take home. The staff were very kind and helpful, which made the experience great.

The salt bread was delicious. I brought some plain salt bread home as a souvenir, and it tasted amazing after freezing it and heating it up in the toaster!😋
