Victoria Bakery Garden

About

A garden bakery for a Kkotmaeul drive or a break after walking around Gudeoksan. Of roughly five parking spaces, two are for shop vehicles, leaving about three for customers. Turning inside is difficult; use the Kkotmaeul public lot when the entrance is full and ask the cashier whether a parking-validation stamp is available.

Pumpkin, fig and cream-cheese campagne has a substantial filling with a noticeable sweetness from stewed figs. The cream cone combines a brittle, sugar-coated pastry shell with cream that is not excessively sweet. Maldon salt bread is the simpler buttery, salty choice.

The campagne costs KRW 7,000, salt bread KRW 1,800 and basil ciabatta KRW 4,800. Busan Passenger Ship is boat-shaped pizza bread with ham, cheese, tomato and corn. The long cheese stick contains Cheongyang chilli, so choose another bread if you want mild cheese.

Garden terraces, second-floor sofas and large windows provide places to sit. The third-floor cafe and rooftop do not admit children; families should use the second floor. A microwave and self-service packing station are available for warming bread and taking leftovers home.
