Bakery - The Old Croissant Factory

A croissant-exclusive bakery that's gathering fame in Hongdae.

Tucked away in a corner, you'd be surprised how well this place does

-- selling only croissants, of all things!

Apparently, it's named after a popular Italian Restaurant in Canada...

Sound familiar, but I don't think I've been.

Open 11AM to 10PM

(although they close when they're out of bread... this can be around 8)

Closed on Sundays

Interior

absolutely love the top-hat lampshade...

Le menu

The menu consists of various teas, juices, and of course -- coffees.

Grapefruit tea & some herbal tea

Cheese croissant

Candied orange croissant

Other croissants that were on display

 Overall

 The croissants here are absolutely beautiful to look at. 

Although they taste good, I must say,

they aren't particularly my style of croissants.

I personally prefer the big, fluffy, and soft in the inside type croissants

that would be found at a boulangerie...

Where as these are more of a snack -- or dessert type.

Quite crispy, and less on the soft and fluffy.

Really indulged on their grapefruit tea though,

felt good with the nasty cold I was having then.

It's a nice little cozy place to visit,

to sip on some tea and snack on some croissants.
