Wow, I came here to buy chewy cookies from Dubai❤️ But since I learned how to make my first chewy cookies here, I originally thought that chewy cookies were peanut butter flavored🙄 But now I know it was supposed to be pittachio flavored lol But the staff was so kind-- ✨️✨️❤️- 😅😅 The salt bread and everything are delicious, so go there🙏

I went to buy butter rice cake, but there wasn’t any… 😭 I asked if it was available, but they said it would come out a little later, so I just bought some chewy bread and came back ㅠㅠ (It would have been nice if they had told me when it would come out, but they only informed me that it would come out a little later, so I just bought something and left~) So that others don't make a fuss... Go early or look carefully before you go 🥹 I enjoyed the chewy bread the last time I had it, so I bought it in various flavors! I'll go back when I have time, but I'll be satisfied with the chewy bread haha.

I was so curious because I heard it was popular, so I ran for the open run 🏃‍♀️ It opens at 10 o'clock, so I arrived around 9:05, but there were already people waiting 😅😅 You have to go really early to purchase the first opening quantity ✔️ I got five in one box, but they are smaller than I thought 🌰 They are chestnut-shaped, and they are delicious on the outside 👍 I like chewy things, so this is my favorite! It feels a bit greasy after eating it, so I recommend eating it with Americano ❤️

I went to Doojokku and came back with butter rice cake!!! I didn't expect anything, but it was delicious!! It goes perfectly with coffee👍 It opens at 10 o'clock, but they sell out before then - 5 pieces are 7,500 won, but I feel like the price is better because Doojjonku is expensive!! Be kind!

I heard that Doojokku is popular these days, so I bought it while I was in Apgujeong. Among the places that sell it nearby, the prices are relatively cheap, so I feel like I spent a reasonable amount~^^ Since this is a salt bread restaurant, I also bought some Dubai chocolate salt bread, and I hope it tastes good. 👍

Soboro Chewy Bread Chocolate Chewy Bread Salt Bread Yakgwa Cookie The chewy bread crust is really delicious and not too sweet, but rich chocolate. The chocolate is better than Soboro. The salt bread was very buttery and the Yakgwa Cookie was very sweet. I recommend the chewy bread!

Perhaps because it was cold, the showcase was moved inside. Chocolate brownie chewy bread 6,500 won. A sweet taste that isn't too overwhelming.

I bought it at a pop-up store, and they have a wide variety of products and they are very friendly. The chewy bread was slightly chewy on the outside, but not too chewy. It's full of blueberry yogurt cream, so it's refreshing, but it's also a little greasy, so it's perfect to eat half of it with Americano. I'm still keeping the other flavors in the freezer. The butter rice cake is a cute chestnut shape and cute size, but as soon as you hold it in your hand, it's full of buttery flavor and is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It was sweet even without dipping it in condensed milk. But honestly, the outside was very hard and hard. It didn't have much of a chewy feel, so baking it in F made it feel more like a glutinous rice donut.

If you're craving chewy bread filled with ingredients, this is it! I visited while looking for a delicious bakery in Apgujeong :) *Parking/Waiting I came on a weekday afternoon, so there were plenty of seats in the store and I was able to sit right away without waiting. Since I was traveling, I packed it and ate it in the car, but it was still delicious! The street in front of the store is one-way, so you have to be careful when driving, but you can stop for a short while. *Soboro Chewy Bread The chewy bread is filled with soboro bread. I usually like soboro bread, so I really enjoyed it :) The menu with pistachios was sold out in the afternoon, and there are menus that don't have any at all due to the supply of ingredients, so please take note before coming *The store has more space inside and is larger than expected. Good for conversation. It's a place!

The price of butter rice cake has increased - from the 12th, it went from 7,500 to 8,800. It was delicious, so I went to buy it for a gift... Even though I went before 10 o'clock, the line was that long - I thought they would buy it for me, but it was cut off right in front of me. However, they informed me of the time and cut me off quickly, so I didn't have to wait. In the 10th century, a lot came out, and from then on, it seemed like 100 came out per hour, and I got 5 in one pack. There is a limit of 3, and people usually buy 3 packs at a time - I think it can be used by 6-7 people per hour - But you can keep making them and eat them warm right away! It would have been nice if there had been an announcement about the price increase, but it's a bit disappointing - I think you'll have to wait an hour before it becomes popular -
