The K stands for Korean. This new eatery, which opened in April, features the Goddess Bun, a “remastered version of the classic Korean street food “bungeoppang” with various fillings inside.” The buns, made while you wait—so they are fresh­—are crispy, chewy and sweet.

The menu is simple. There are, for now, only two choices: The Savory Cheese Goddess Bun filled with a generous portion of creamy, melted cheese that perfectly complements the bun’s crispy and chewy texture, perfect for those who crave a savory delight. And then there is the Chocolate & Mixed Nuts Goddess Bun, filled with rich and velvety Nutella. The combination of Nutella and the crispy, chewy bun creates a heavenly dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Indulge in this delightful fusion of Korean street food and Italian sweetness for a truly unique taste sensation.
