From lobster toasties to fluffy egg sandwiches on buttery brioche, Korea's street toast is on another level. Here’s where to snack K-style in ³Ô¹ÏÍø.

Eggholic CBD

At long last, one of the OG spots for street toast has made its way to the CBD (260 Spencer Street). This little hole-in-the-wall is serving up super stacked, buttery brioche filled with fluffy, cheesy egg. Take it classic with bacon, spicy with kimchi, loaded with crab or filled with fried spam. The crew has also launched an epic iced coffee menu. Think biscoff loaded 'cream-cinos', honeycomb topped caramel lattes, hojicha treats and injeolmi delights. They've also opened late-night Korean dessert cafe for when you need an after-dark sugar fix.

Seoul's famous street toast

is opposite Nico’s Sandwich Deli on Healeys Lane. It’s the first overseas branch of a South Korean franchise established in 1997. The small, gilgeori toast cafe combines Korean street toast with ³Ô¹Ï꿉۪s love of coffee. Gilgeori toast is Korea’s favourite street breakfast sandwich. Here you can have it with egg, ham, bacon or bulgogi beef. There are also options to add cheese, a hashbrown or both. Pro tip: pair your sandwich with galbae juice (Korean pear juice) to put an instant stop to your hangover. 

³Ô¹Ï꿉۪s first gilgeori toast 

Palette serves Korean-style sando in a light and airy minimalist space. This North ³Ô¹ÏÍø café is an aesthetic blend of local and Korean influences. Palette was one of the first cafes in ³Ô¹ÏÍø to offer the signature street toast, kickstarting a trend. It starts with buttery brioche, fluffy omelette and hash brown. Where you take it next is up to you – but candied bacon is a must. Pair with the official drink of Seoul (iced americano) or a pleasingly pastel soda.
