Shoto Patisserie

Shoto is Apgujeong's most coveted shortcake destination, where seasonal fruit-topped cakes disappear within hours of opening. Run by a Shilla Hotel veteran who graduated from Tokyo's prestigious confectionery school, this elegant patisserie showcases Japanese-style shortcakes with pristine presentation and luxurious flavors.

The showcase displays picture-perfect cakes adorned with strawberries, shine muscat grapes, and other premium seasonal fruits. Each slice features delicate sponge layers, fresh cream, and fruit arranged with meticulous precision—a testament to the chef's 13 years of experience at one of Seoul's finest hotels.

Location

Located in the heart of Apgujeong's cafe district, Shoto occupies a chic first-floor space at 14-6 Apgujeong-ro 18-gil. The minimalist interior with glass display cases puts the focus squarely on the exquisite cakes. Arrive early as popular items sell out quickly, especially on weekends.
