How far is it from Central Park?

Tomoru Bakery, a Songdo Central Park favorite, sits near the Korea Coast Guard headquarters. It's about a 7-minute drive from Central Park, making it a nice stop for good bread after a walk in the park 😋

Exterior and parking

The exterior of Tomoru Bakery, done up in bright lighting and brick, caught my eye even from a distance. The floor-to-ceiling glass gave it an open feel, and I could see the delicious bread displayed inside from outside, which only built up my anticipation 🥐

There were tables and chairs on the terrace side, so on a nice day it seemed like a great spot to enjoy bread and a drink outdoors ☺️

The building's underground parking lot had plenty of spaces, so I was able to visit comfortably by car without worrying about parking that day.

Inside the store and the bread selection

The inside of the store was packed with delicious-looking bread. The system was to put whatever bread you wanted onto a tray, then pay at the counter 🥐

Honestly, all the bread looked so good I had trouble deciding what to pick 🥹 Each item had its name along with the ingredients and a short description, which made choosing much easier.

The bakery lineup ranged from meal breads and dessert breads to pies and baked cookies — and knowing they used organic flour and dairy cream made me like them even more.

Even during the evening when I visited, regulars kept streaming in nonstop — it really confirmed why this place is known as a must-visit bakery near Songdo Central Park 😆

There were also plenty of items unique to Tomoru, plus trendy picks like chocolate baguette and butter tteok, so there's something to suit every taste.

The baked cookies and rusks in particular came in neat individual packaging, with boxes available for purchase separately, making them great for gifts.

Besides bread, they also sell coffee, tea, and other drinks, which made me think next time I'd like to try a simple brunch in-store with a drink alongside some bread or a sandwich.

The bread I picked to try that day

There was so much good bread that I spent a long time deciding, then went with a bit of everything. Here's what I ended up buying 🥐

• Milk bread
• Chocolate baguette
• Domestic chestnut bread
• Old-fashioned kkwabaegi (twisted doughnut)
• Kkamang-i
• Coconut cream cheese

Milk bread

First, the most basic and versatile item — Tomoru's milk bread — is soft and nutty. It had a chewy texture with a subtle milk flavor, delicious enough to eat plain 🥹

Chocolate baguette

I've been obsessed with chocolate baguette lately, so I picked one up here too. Tomoru's chocolate baguette has chewy, plain baguette dough studded with big chunks of chocolate — not too sweet, but the kind of thing you keep going back for. They also cut it into bite-sized pieces on request, which made it even easier to eat 😆

Domestic chestnut bread

Next up was chestnut bread packed with domestic chestnuts. Thanks to the local chestnuts, it had a powdery texture and a subtle sweetness that paired really well with milk. It was filling enough that I could see eating it as a meal replacement 😆

Old-fashioned kkwabaegi

I honestly bought the old-fashioned kkwabaegi without high expectations, but it turned out to be a real hidden gem?! 😆 Chewy texture, coated generously in sugar — it felt like the first genuinely great kkwabaegi I'd had in a while. Paired with milk, it made for a great simple late-night snack too.

Kkamang-i

Next was kkamang-i, Tomoru's best-seller — a chewy squid-ink bread filled with cream cheese and walnuts. The chewy bread texture, the mild cream cheese, and the nutty walnuts all came together beautifully 🥹 It disappeared in no time because it hit my taste exactly right — if you visit Tomoru, this is a must-try!

New: Coconut cream cheese

Last was the new coconut cream cheese — soft bread with sweet cream cheese and a subtle coconut aroma. It was a bit sweeter and softer than the kkamang-i, making it a great choice if you want something more dessert-like 🥥

Overall, the bread at Tomoru Bakery in Songdo was all delicious, but if I had to pick my top favorites, I'd recommend these three: ⭐️ kkamang-i, coconut cream cheese, and old-fashioned kkwabaegi ⭐️!
