Herge Bakery Seongsu Signature Menu

1. Croissant, Pain Suisse
These pastries boast a rich buttery aroma and incredibly clean, distinct layers. They are absolutely divine, especially when paired with a cup of coffee. If you visit in the morning, the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the entire store.
Pain Suisse Price: ~$5
Almond Double Chocolate Price: ~$5

I was really curious about their new Kyoto Matcha Pain Suisse, but sadly, it was sold out when I visited. Guess I'll have to come back!

2. Campagne
Made with organic flour, these rustic loaves offer a clean wheat flavor and a delightful nuttiness. They are delicious on their own and even better with wine or cheese. If you prefer savory, wholesome bread over sweet desserts, I highly recommend trying their Campagne!
The eye-catching Chocodamia Campagne is priced at ~$6


Fig Campagne Price: ~$6
Nurungji Campagne Price: ~$4

3. Vanilla Canelé
This time, I decided to try some of their baked goods, and the Vanilla Canelé truly stood out! It features a perfectly crispy, caramelized exterior and a moist, tender interior, creating a wonderful textural contrast. It's sweet yet not overwhelmingly so, making it an absolute must-reorder for me.
Valrhona Choco Financier Price: ~$2
Plain Financier Price: ~$2
Vanilla Canelé Price: ~$3

Beyond these, Herge Bakery offers a diverse selection of savory breads, including baguettes and whole wheat sticks.

The Cheese Sand Bun and Focaccia also looked incredibly tempting!
