Every time I passed Pyeongchon Station, this bakery was packed with people, and I'd been curious ever since. So I finally visited Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon (밀밭제빵소 평촌점) for the first time, haha. There was a really wide range of breads, and the taste lived up to my expectations!

What kind of bread does Milbat Bakery make?

Milbat Bakery bakes and sells on the same day. For a bakery, it also has a surprisingly impressive list of awards! They say they use good ingredients and natural sourdough starter, cold-aged, to make healthy bread you can enjoy without feeling weighed down, haha.

Inside, tongs, trays and hygiene paper are set out at the entrance. You just stroll around the shop and pick out the breads you like, one at a time, no pressure, haha.

As soon as I walked in, I did a quick scan of all the displayed breads, lol. There were far more kinds than I expected! Familiar breads you see everywhere, plus breads you can only find at Milbat Bakery, haha.

Breads at Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon, shelf by shelf

Twisted doughnut, croquette and mentaiko baguette shelf

This shelf had everything from kkwabaegi (twisted doughnuts), glutinous rice doughnuts, croquettes and cream cheese garlic bread to a mentaiko (seasoned pollock roe) baguette and a long sausage bread! The mentaiko baguette and long sausage looked especially tempting and caught my eye!!

Mammoth bread, Gyeongju hwangnan bread and nut jeonbyeong

On another side there were mammoth bread, walnut cakes, Gyeongju hwangnan bread (a Gyeongju specialty), sesame gangjeong and nut jeonbyeong (nut-topped crisp wafers), all generously loaded with healthy-looking ingredients! I was especially curious how the jeonbyeong piled with nuts would taste, haha.

Financiers, muffins and banana bread

On the opposite side were plain and chocolate financiers and muffins, bakery items that go well with coffee! There was also a bread simply called "Banana", which is cute just from the name, haha. It's banana-flavored and looked nice and sweet, so it seemed fine as a snack for kids too!

Basics like handmade red bean bun and sobo bread

This shelf held the basic breads everyone loves, young and old! The ones you always end up picking one or two of at a bakery, lol. Handmade red bean buns, red bean cream buns, sobo bread (crumble-topped bun) and more. Honestly, I think a place that does these basics well is a truly great bakery, so we picked a sobo bread too, haha.

Organic campagne (country bread)

There was a wide variety of campagne (country bread) here, from organic basil macadamia to whole wheat, cranberry, fig and sweet pumpkin! Made with organic ingredients, they seem perfect for anyone looking for plain, healthy bread, haha.

Salt bread, mentaiko salt bread and black sesame twist

Here were salt bread and mentaiko salt bread, which I love! There was also a black sesame twist: a non-fried twisted doughnut made with 100% rice flour and coated in plenty of black sesame powder. That looked so good too...!!

Giant alligator, chocolate walnut and rye bread

This area also had lots of different breads! The giant alligator, made of layered rolled-and-folded dough topped with pecans, black tea syrup and almond powder, was another one I wondered about, haha. There were also chocolate walnut bread, rye bread and plenty more that looked delicious!

Refrigerated case: egg mayo salt bread and Mandeuk-i burger

The refrigerated case had lemon roll cake, egg mayo salt bread, the Mandeuk-i burger and other breads that work as a quick meal, haha.

Unusual breads: napjaki, devil bread and green onion potato bread

This shelf had lots of unusual breads that seem like Milbat Bakery originals! Basil tomato, napjaki (flat bread), devil bread, green onion potato bread, all names that make you curious, haha. From these we picked one napjaki with salami, cream cheese, gouda cheese and tomato!

Red bean butter bread, mocha bread and raspberry roll

They also sold snack and dessert breads like red bean butter bread, mocha bread, lemon roll and raspberry roll! The raspberry roll looked delicious, so I picked one up, haha.

Multigrain, tangzhong and whole rye loaves

Sliced loaves came in multigrain, tangzhong and whole rye too! I chose other breads this time, but next visit I'm going to try a loaf, haha.

Scones, Dubai chocolate tart and coconut rocher

This area had lots of desserts that go well with coffee or tea, from Milbat scones and butter coconut scones to Dubai chocolate tarts and coconut rochers! I was curious about the butter coconut scone, so I picked one, haha.

Roll cakes by the slice or the whole roll

The roll cakes at Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon come in many varieties, including the raspberry roll cake I chose and a rice roll, and you can buy them by the slice or as a whole roll! They seem good as a snack for kids or a casual gift!

Carrot cake and fruit cake

Lastly, I looked at the cakes too! From cute carrot cake to cakes packed with all kinds of fruit, there was a good variety, haha. The cake with whole kiwi and orange looked so delicious it caught my eye...!!

There were so many kinds, and everything looked so good that I agonized over what to try for a long time...! In the end we picked as wide a mix as we could, from basic breads to unusual ones you can only find at Milbat Bakery!

The five breads we picked at Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon

We bought five breads at Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon this time: napjaki, a cream bun, sobo bread, a butter coconut scone and a raspberry roll, haha.

• Napjaki (salami, cream cheese, gouda cheese, tomato)
• Cream bun
• Sobo bread
• Butter coconut scone
• Raspberry roll

How did the cream bun and raspberry roll taste?

The cream bun at Milbat Bakery isn't the usual light custard puff; it was packed with rich, smooth cream. We tried two first: the cream bun my fiancé was curious about and the raspberry roll I was most curious about! The cream bun is a familiar item, but it was much tastier than I expected, haha.

The raspberry roll was also full of fresh, smooth raspberry cream! You can feel the raspberries lightly in the cream, which made it even better, haha. The roll sponge itself was really soft with a strong aroma, which I loved. It went really well with a sweet coffee too!
