From Curiosity to Craving: The Famous Canele Chips
After a hearty meal at my all-time favorite restaurant, I was on the hunt for a sweet way to cleanse my palate. That’s when I stumbled upon ComoYoon’s Canele Chips. Priced at 5,000 KRW, you can also add a dollop of rich cream for an additional 1,000 KRW. Since I believe in going all-out when it comes to dessert, I opted for the cream—and it was absolutely worth it.
The Canele Chips have earned a patent for good reason. Imagine the signature chewy, caramelized edges of a canele amplified into an ultra-crisp, slightly sticky bite—almost reminiscent of a Korean “tteok” (rice cake) texture, but in chip form. When dipped into the sweet cream, these chips offer an addictive combination of crunch and softness, pleasing both traditional pastry lovers and adventurous eaters. If you prefer something less sweet, the chips are still thoroughly enjoyable on their own.
Don’t Skip the Classic Canele
Curious to see if the original canele tasted just as good, I also ordered the Vanilla Canele. To my delight, it surpassed expectations: a perfectly crisp exterior encased a soft, custardy center infused with fragrant vanilla. My husband, on the other hand, preferred the playful texture of the Canele Chips—but we both agreed that ComoYoon delivers on flavor from every angle.
Other Temptations on the Menu
ComoYoon caters to vanilla aficionados with options like a Double Vanilla Bean Latte or a Vanilla Bean Babyccino, which I’ve bookmarked for a future visit. Since I wanted to focus on the pastries this time around, I settled for an Americano, which paired excellently with the sweet treats. Still, those specialty vanilla drinks are calling my name for next time.
Final Thoughts
If you’re a fan of baked goods and creative desserts, ComoYoon in Seongsu should be on your must-visit list. Their Canele Chips are unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere, and the classic canele is equally impressive. My husband enjoyed the novelty of the chip version so much that he polished off two servings by himself! Combine this with a polished interior, quality coffee, and the welcoming ambiance of fresh flowers, and you have a cafe experience that’s both memorable and satisfying.
Whether you’re a Seongsu local or just passing through Seoul, ComoYoon is a fantastic place to discover a new dessert revolution. Swing by for a quick snack or settle in for a leisurely afternoon of people-watching, coffee, and pastries.
