Basque cheesecake salt bread at Yeongdeungpo bakery café BYWAY BAKERS

In short

BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch is a large bakery café on Dangsan-ro 27-gil near Yeongdeungpogu Office Station in Seoul. From the chilled showcase the writer picked the September-only fig Basque cheesecake wakppu salt bread (8,500 won) and a Hong Kong pineapple bun with salted butter and pineapple jam (4,500 won), plus two iced Americanos (4,000 won each). The salt bread held a generous amount of Basque cheesecake and fig, so the price felt fair, and the sheer range of bread at BYWAY BAKERS makes a return visit likely.

What we ordered: pineapple bun and fig wakppu salt bread

I ordered 2 iced Americanos + the fig batzike wakppu salt bread + the Hong Kong pineapple bun!

Table with two iced Americanos and two breads

The other breads looked so delicious too, but I ordered two I'd never tried before!

Hong Kong pineapple bun with pineapple jam

Hong Kong pineapple bun (4,500 won): salted butter and pineapple jam

This is the Hong Kong pineapple bun! It said something like 'your ticket to Hong Kong for ₩4,500,' so I figured it must be some kind of Hong Kong dessert and ordered it! Inside it's got salted butter, and they give you pineapple jam alongside it too — the bread was crispy, and it went so well with the jam and butter!

Fig wakppu salt bread coated in white chocolate

Fig Basque cheesecake wakppu salt bread (8,500 won)

The wakppu salt bread! Fig flavor~ There was white chocolate on top of the salt bread, with a pretty thick coating!

They even gave me plastic gloves to eat it with! So thoughtful~!!!

That wakppu crunch!!! Such a good feeling!

The salt bread itself is already such a great salt bread on its own, and it turns out there's Basque cheesecake inside?? So you get another layer of sweetness on top of that, plus there was quite a lot of fig packed inside — at first I thought the price seemed steep, but not at all!!! It totally felt worth it!!

Cross-section of the Hong Kong pineapple bun with salted butter

The Hong Kong pineapple bun felt like a whole new kind of dessert, so it was fun and novel — it had a texture kind of like what you'd expect from a choux cookie, and the salted butter and pineapple jam went so well together. My boyfriend actually liked this one even more and kept eating it happily!!

As for the wakppu salt bread, since BYWAY BAKERS' salt bread is already delicious on its own, it just tasted even better. I even saw someone packing an entire tray full of salt bread to take home!??

Full order and total price at BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo

  • Hong Kong pineapple bun ₩4,500
