Croissant heaven is real: croffles, croissant bagels, croissant balls... Hannam-dong AUFGLET has arrived in Taipei!

There really is something about croissants that makes you want to take two home every time you see them. If you can’t resist them either, you may have noticed that Korean brand AUFGLET has opened its first café in Taiwan. With everything from croissant balls and croissant churros to croissant bagels, plus its original croffles, this is definitely one to add to your list.

AUFGLET Taipei opens in Taiwan 1. The space is minimalist and stylish

Located at Taipei’s Renai Circle, AUFGLET Taipei carries on the café culture of its two-story standalone building in Seoul’s Hannam-dong. From the interior design and lighting to the tabletops and uniforms, black is the main visual theme. Floor-to-ceiling windows on several sides keep the space bright and stylish. Music is also an intangible part of AUFGLET’s soul: the brand has its own playlists, a nod to the meaning of its German name, “put on a record and play music.”

AUFGLET’s croissants are a definite must-order. Using imported ingredients, the Taipei location recreates the croissants served at its Korea store. Choose from “croissant balls” filled with vanilla or chocolate custard, “croissant bagels” with a chewy yet crisp texture, and “croissant churros,” which take their crisp, buttery aroma to the fullest. There’s also the original croffle, made by pressing layered croissant dough into the shape of a Liège waffle. Beneath its golden, crisp exterior is a soft, fluffy center that will leave you wanting another bite.

And what better partner for a croissant than a drink? The signature “whipped cream coffee” combines espresso and milk with whipped cream flavored with vanilla and condensed milk, then finished with a dusting of cinnamon. Also recommended is the Taipei-exclusive “black cocoa hojicha coconut milk,” which pairs cocoa’s bitterness with the roasted fragrance of hojicha and refreshing coconut milk. There are also plenty of caffeine-free drinks, juices, and sparkling beverages.

AUFGLET Taipei also offers a wide selection of savory dishes, all exclusive to Taipei. Its all-day brunch menu includes lighter options such as salads, yogurt bowls, and toast, as well as the “special Korean kimchi fried rice,” which adds avocado, a common element in contemporary brunch, to kimchi fried rice. Other options include the “pan-seared black pork loin steak” and the “maple fried chicken croffle,” which turns the croffle into a savory base. These dishes are set to revive the brunch scene in Taipei’s East District. The café also plans to stay open past sunset in the future.
