About this spot
Taegeukdang Bakery in Hongdae serves warm, fluffy buns that are distinctly different from the standard street-side Korean hotteok you find everywhere else. The dough is tender and sweet, often filled with a rich brown sugar syrup or savory meat mixture depending on the day's selection.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Gangjeong' style bun for a chewier texture that holds up better to strong coffee flavors.
- Bring cash only, as this small shop in Jangchung-dong frequently does not accept credit cards.
- Visit early in the morning when the queue is shortest and the buns are still piping hot.
