Cafe Knotted Cheongdam

Apgujeong・3号線 ・徒歩12分
The donut brand that started the Korean cream-donut wave, with the original yellow-building store off Dosan-daero.
The cream-filled donuts come in around ten rotating flavors, including milk cream and chocolate pudding. Light cream, not the heavy American kind, is the brand's calling card. The Cheongdam store is the first Knotted, on a side street off Dosan-daero about five minutes from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, set in a two-story yellow building. Popular flavors sell out, so come on the early side and on weekdays if you can. Knotted now runs branches across Seoul and Jeju and has expanded to LA.
