In case 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 all through time.
Nestled inside 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 well worth the wait?
For context, we visited Soha Salt Pond within the early summer season. So in case you are visiting in the course of the hotter seasons, do mood your expectations. The outside of Soha Salt Pond is probably not as magical as what you’ve seen on-line as a result of sturdy and harsh solar.
And to be trustworthy, the Salt Pond is definitely fairly small in actual life. Nonetheless, the weather of salt have been included superbly into the standard 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 have been pleasantly shocked 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 might have learn wonderful evaluations of the Soha Salted Bread, we felt otherwise. We’re not saying that it isn’t good bread; it’s. Nonetheless, it simply wasn’t as buttery, mushy 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 approach higher than one of the best salted bread you’ll get in Singapore.
There was only one different factor that bothered us. Though we visited Soha Salt Pond within the morning, out of the in depth number 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 questioned whether or not it was a case that the opposite flavours had been snapped up by different clients earlier that morning or that Soha Salt Pond couldn’t sustain with the demand.
