I quite like this bakery and cafe called Taegeukdang because it has kept its own authenticity and originality since 1946. Indeed, it is the oldest bakery in Seoul. While other small bakeries have closed their shops down or sold them to conglomerates, Taegeukdang has kept its stores proudly as the form of family business. Once you get into the store, you can feel the Korean version of retro mood here in Taegeukdang, which you would have experienced if you were in Korea in the 1950s or so.
Interiors, furniture, other decorative elements are full of retro mood, which I could see from tv dramas or movies. I had ice cream with waffle which is the signature in Taegeunkdang. As always, waffle was so crispy and ice cream was soft and sweet.
Still, Taegeukdang tries to maintain its own identity. If you fancy Korean style bread or puddings, drop by here and grab one made by skilled Korean patissier and explore Korean version of retro mood.
