My friend and ex roommate recently started working at this cute cafe/bakery in Apgujeong so I went to see her the other day. I didn’t know Le Alaska was going to be such an amazing little find. Located nearby Apgujeong’s bougie Rodeo Street Le Alaska has quite a few competitors nearby, but it still can get quite busy during lunch breaks. Apparently it’s got quite a reputation for great sandwiches and pastries. I went somewhat early in the morning and didn’t get to see the crowd, but I did see about 10 girls baking, which was an interesting site. I’ve never been the only person sitting in a place with 10 workers buzzing around.
Alaska Homil 9,500w
My friend recommended the Alaska Homil so I went with that, and my regular drip coffee with milk. The sandwich features turkey, bacon, egg, veggies, and a delicious mayo/olive spread. Highly recommended. Although next time I really want to try the baguette. I’ve been craving baguette sandwiches lately… really badly.
And of course, the pastries. Because I came early I wasn’t able to get photos of their full spectrum. I’ll have to return someday and shoot/eat some more.
