Blanc Cafe @ Hongdae (Seoul)

Blanc is located 15 minutes, on foot, from our apartment. However, walking in this sweltering weather made it seem like forever haha. Nonetheless, we were pretty psyched to visit this place!













They have sandwiches, croissants, tarts, cakes and macarons!

Chocolate croissant - 2700 won
This was really fragrant! Crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside. No doubt one of the best croissants I've had!


Banana Chocolate Tart - 5000 + won
Banana and chocolate is a combination that can't go wrong. And this tart brought it to another level as it was really really good! The tart was of the right hardness and the chocolate mousse doesn't overshadow the taste of the bananas. Pretty perfect!


Ham and cheese sandwich- 4800 won
This was not bad! The taste of pickles and the sauce spiced up the average ham and cheese


Iced caramel macchiato and Iced cafe mocha - 4500 each
The coffee were pretty good!


Oreo macaron and hazelnut macaron - 1700 won each
The oreo macaron tasted more like milk and the taste of oreo was absent. We didn't really like it. The hazelnut macaron on the other hand, was alot nicer! To be honest, we didn't have high expectations of the macarons but they surprised us with their full crusts and smooth ganache!

We liked the minimalistic design of Blanc. Simple, clean looking and attractive! Service was good too, albeit a bit slow.
