Rain Report Croissant • 레인리포트 크루아상

Following the success of their first flagship store in Gyeongnidan (경리당길), Rain Report opened their second location in Seongsu-dong (성수동), an up and coming neighborhood in Seoul that’s has been rising in popularity among the locals as well as tourists these past couple of years. Keeping the same rain-themed concept, Rain Report Croissant (레인리포트 크루아상) gives patrons similar experience they would find at the flagship location but with a slightly different menu selections. Instead offering the same baked goods and cakes that are available at their other location, here you’ll find an array of delicious croissants in all shapes, flavors and colors just like the name of this cafe suggest.

Apart from the croissants, everything else is pretty much what you would find if you’ve visited the other Rain Report location—a cool cafe with impressive interior and branding that offers a variety of good coffee, drinks, and pastries accompanied by the ambience of a rainy day. The place could get busy, but the ample seatings spread through out the two-story building it’s occupying will most likely accommodate visiting patrons who would like to dine-in at this cafe.

I forgot to write down the name of this croissant but it’s essentially a chocolate croissant. Flaky on the outside, buttery soft on the inside and overall it’s not too sweet. An 8.5 out of 10 from me. 

I’ve been to this location a couple of times now and after trying a couple of their croissants, my verdict is their croissants are actually pretty good. The fact that they provide toasters in the cafe to warm up/reheat your order might have something to do with it because it allows you to enjoy your pastries while it’s warm. Another thing that I really appreciate is that they provide scissors for you to use to cut your pastries. Very convenient if you don’t want to make a mess or when you’re sharing your orders with your companions. 

Chocolate (쇼콜라테) ₩7,800 | 8/10

Ordered their chocolate latte (without the coffee) and I actually quite enjoyed this drink. The chocolate drink itself isn’t too sweet but the chocolate shavings topping was a tad on the sweeter side for my personal preference. But still, it’s not too overly sweet. Also, I tried dipping the croissant into the chocolate drink and it was actually pretty perfect. Would definitely do that again next time.

This was my friend’s order and she said it’s actually light and pretty good.
