Jamboree Beurre Sandwich - ham and thick slice of butter, very nice combination if you are are a butter lover! 4.5/5 Egg sandwich - quite good, simple. 4/5 Pistachio Cream - good, a bit sweet but it's necessary. 4.2/5 Coffee - 4.2/5

What a surprise find! Dropped by Avec Cheri after lunch and boy, did I stumble upon something special. Salt bread (shio pan) seems to be everywhere lately—and let’s be honest, most of the time it’s all hype and little substance. But I gave it a shot here, opting for their most basic version, just to see how they handle the fundamentals. And wow. This one was crispy, unapologetically salty (not in a shy, background-afterthought kind of way), and super buttery without being overwhelming. It walked the line between indulgent and elegant. I paired it with their Orange Highball and… let me tell you—that orange tasted orangier than most oranges. Seriously. It just hit different. They’ve got stuffed versions too, but I was already too full to explore further. Still, definitely coming back. Perfect for a light snack and aperitif session—no coffee needed.

Cute cafe close to the Hanganjin station. Their main is salt bread but within the salt bread they have different flavors and toppings. Very unique and we enjoyed our meal.

definitely a must-go spot in itaewon the place is super pretty for taking pictures and they also have lots of cute merch, but the best part is the food! from the moment you walk in you’re welcomed with the smell of freshly baked salted bread, the filled salted bread is delicious — the perfect mix of sweet & savory, i also really recommend the matcha it’s super creamy and has an authentic flavor. can’t wait to come back!

That day it was raining and windy and my friends and I were just walking around and stopped here to warm ourselves up. Turns out they have decent pastries and good coffee.
