Here is my top pick, always and forever. Been here countless times—I’m practically a regular. It’s that kind of spot where if you know, you know. For true bread lovers, this is the spot. I have to update myself with Comme Cafe to latest version. Here only open three days a week and closed for four days. Pro tip: Walk from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 4—it’s just a short 460-meter stroll.
Now, onto the sandwiches—they’re all winners, but the grilled sandwich takes the cake. Perfectly balanced, not too much or too little of anything. Baguette, paprika jam, cheese, and arugula—it’s a flavor explosion. The paprika jam? Sweet, salty, and just a hint of spice—pleasantly surprising. Best eaten warm, straight from the shop. Can’t eat it right away? Pop it in the air fryer or oven for a quick heat-up.
And don’t even get me started on the Madeleines and Financiers—talk about size! One’s enough to fill you up, but who can resist? Lemon Madeleine, pistachio, café chocolate, mugwort caramel, yuzu earl grey, black pepper chocolate, vanilla pecan, kumquat olive oil, and new flavors popping up all the time. Even the classic Madeleine hits the spot. When the basics are nailed, you know the rest is gold. I clean them out every time I visit—feels like I’ve struck gold every time. Owners must feel like they’ve found a treasure they can’t replace.
