â–²Review (Shikigami Tongni-chan): My favorite bakery in Hongdae! While other places have lost their popularity over time, Olk Pack continues to be popular, so even on weekdays, I think they often line up to buy bread before it opens. They finish as soon as the bread is sold out, so the finish is early even on weekdays. I tried everything from the original croissant, hit and run chocolate croissant, dark chocolate croissant, and sausage croissant. If you go near Hongdae, be sure to try it!

â–²Testimonial (Shikigin Panheyu): The chocolate butter sandwich had a rich sweet and bitter chocolate flavor, so there wasn't much butter flavor..! I also felt that the combination of the two was softer because of the butter. The bread loon baguette was savory and really crunchy>_< I really like this kind of baguette with a thick palate hehe, everyone said that the sweet pumpkin pastry was sweet pumpkin porridge… It just tasted like that lol sweet and soft pumpkin cream? I think it would be delicious even if you dip it on other bread hehe the pastry texture was still crispy ^_^*

It's really rich, but the sugar isn't sweet, and the ice melts gently… I don't like brownies because they just stick to my mouth and are too sweet, but the brownies here are really delicious, different! This is where you can find chocolate shavings:)
