Grounded feedback from verified visitors experiencing our baguettes, croissants, and daily bakes in Mapo-gu.
★★★★★“The croissant in Copain is legendary. When you step in this bakery cafe, you will smell delicious rich butter. Every layer of the croissant is perfectly crispy.”
★★★★★“Baguette to go to! Airy baguette tradition with ham, mustard seeds and butter definitely a way for lunch and breakfast. Croissant was made with AOP butter light and flaky. Canele was made with vanilla pods crispy but at a denser side.”
★★★★★“I visited here again after 4 years later. Still cozy, still good smell... The bread? I don't need to mention it. If you have a chance, just try to visit and get some breads.”
★★★★★“Extremely good Croissants. The one with Injeolmi was great.”
★★★★☆“This place (or rather its baguette) was recommended to me quite a few times so finally was in the area and managed to give it a try. I bought the version with butter and red beans. It's a good baguette and the spread was generous.”
