When you’re lively on social media and have been researching on cafes to go to in Seoul, Soha Salt Pond would have undoubtedly popped up in your feed for the duration of time.
Nestled throughout the cluster of cafes in Ikseondong, Soha Salt Pond is arguably one of many extra aesthetic cafes in Seoul. It’s immediately recognisable for the varied mountains of salt round its premises and for the lengthy queues that line the perimeter of the cafe.
However for the recognition that this cafe has loved, are their bakes definitely worth the wait?
For context, we visited Soha Salt Pond within the early summer season. So if you’re visiting through the hotter seasons, do mood your expectations. The outside of Soha Salt Pond will not be as magical as what you’ve seen on-line because of the sturdy and harsh solar.
And to be trustworthy, the Salt Pond is definitely fairly small in actual life. Nonetheless, the weather of salt had been integrated fantastically into the normal Korean homes and was nice to the attention.
We got here right here for his or her signature Soha Salted Bread (3,000 gained) and the Soha Salted Bread solely. Regardless of the net fanfare about this cafe, we had been pleasantly stunned to solely wait about 10 minutes for our meals at 10.30am within the morning. Nonetheless, because the seating space of the cafe was small and already stuffed, we opted to takeaway the bread as an alternative.
While you’ll have learn glorious evaluations of the Soha Salted Bread, we felt in another way. We’re not saying that it isn’t good bread; it’s. Nonetheless, it simply wasn’t as buttery, tender or crisp just like the salt bread from one other well-known bakery simply down the row of cafes.
However to be very goal, the Soha Salted Bread was nonetheless means higher than the perfect salted bread you’ll get in Singapore.
There was only one different factor that bothered us. Although we visited Soha Salt Pond within the morning, out of the in depth collection of bread flavours on their menu, the cafe solely had 2 forms of bread up for buy i.e., the Soha Salted Bread and the Inexperienced Onion Salt Bread (4,500 gained).
We puzzled whether or not it was a case that the opposite flavours had been snapped up by different prospects earlier that morning or that Soha Salt Pond couldn’t sustain with the demand.
