Stack Bakery: Discovering Seoul's Best Croissant (and More!)
Hello everyone! It's Purple here.
One day, I stumbled upon a reel on my algorithm and was instantly captivated, leading me to a place I just had to visit.
The reason? Well...
A French person was eating there and shouting "Putin!" (Fun fact: "Putin" means watermelon in French.)
Instagram @thibaultgueho
They were raving about it being the best croissant in Seoul!!!!
Currently, there are 8 reels featuring Seoul's best croissants, and Stack Bakery consistently ranks #1 in the most recent ones!
I was curious: what makes it so delicious that someone would shout "Putin" and why is it ranked #1 among so many bakeries? So, I went on a bread pilgrimage ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) ꫂ ၴႅၴ

What I Ordered & Prices
I got a free chocolate financier for writing a review, hehe.
Plain Croissant
₩4,000
I couldn't skip the highly praised croissant!!!!! Can you see the layers?
The buttery aroma is insane~!~!~!~ (But it's not overly rich at all)
I completely understood why it's called the best croissant in Seoul after just one bite.
Olive Cheese Pastry
₩4,500
If you like olives, I highly recommend this.
Flaky pastry + tangy olives + savory cheese = an unbeatable combination.
Garlic Salt Bread
₩4,200
I really love salt bread, and Koreans love garlic, right?
So, they combined the two? Is the owner a genius?
A crispy, salty bread with a rich garlic flavor is definitely an incredible combination.
Overall Thoughts
This is the perfect place to go for a weekend brunch and enjoy a croissant or sandwich... ???
➰ But they sell out quickly in the morning, I heard. So popular!
I highly recommend checking it out if you're ever in the Konkuk University area ദ്ദി•̀ 0 •́๑
