Songdo bakery for parents' snacks: ₩9,200 combo and salt bread, Tomoru

If you're looking for a bakery near Songdo Central Park, I recommend Tomoru Bakery (송도토모루베이커리), where the ₩2,400 salt bread was my favorite. It's a 10-minute walk from Senteureolpakeu Station Exit 4, and the basement parking is free for up to 4 hours, so it's easy even if you bring a car.

I went on a weekday around 4 p.m. with my mom to pick up some bread. This should especially help anyone looking for snacks for their parents or bread to stock up at home!

How do you get to Tomoru Bakery, and where do you park?

Tomoru Bakery is on the first floor of Achria Building 2 in Songdo. The shop is entered directly from outside on the ground floor, so it isn't hard to find.

We drove and parked in the building's basement. It's free for up to 4 hours, but you have to ask the staff to confirm your parking. Be sure to mention it when you pay! Four hours is plenty of time to buy bread and still take a leisurely walk in Central Park, haha.

By public transport, it's a 12-minute walk from Incheon National University Station Exit 2, or a 3-minute walk from the Haedoji Park bus stop.

Why is Tomoru Bakery called a master baker's bakery?

According to the shop's introduction, Tomoru Bakery is a place where a Korean Master Baker (제과 기능장, a top national baking qualification) mixes and bakes the dough personally.

They state that they use organic flour, natural sourdough starter, AOP-certified butter and antibiotic-free eggs, and that the dough is aged at low temperature for 18 hours or more. Few Songdo bakeries spell out their ingredients in this much detail, so I felt more confident picking bread for my parents.
