Songdo salt bread café with a free bun for a receipt review: Cozy Bear

I wanted salt bread in Songdo, Incheon, so I stopped by Cozy Bear, and I just had to share it with you! It's a lovely café with great sunlight and outdoor seating, haha.

Cozy Bear opening hours and parking

Cozy Bear is open every day, with no break time and no closed days. You can park for free at the Songdo 13 Public Parking Lot.

There are lots of free public parking lots nearby, which is great!

What time does the salt bread come out at Cozy Bear?

The salt bread comes out twice a day, at 09:00 and 14:00! If you want a good range of warm salt breads, I recommend timing your visit to those hours!

I went late and only about half of the varieties were left, sob.

Cozy Bear receipt review perk: a free salt bread

If you write a receipt review, Cozy Bear gives you one salt bread for free! Isn't that such a bargain? Sob.

They also had sample salt bread out, which I loved, haha. With the sun streaming in, the salt breads looked even more tempting, haha.

Cozy Bear salt bread flavors and prices

Cozy Bear has six salt breads, from plain at ₩3,500 to ang-butter at ₩5,800.

Plain (₩3,500)

Ang-butter (₩5,800), mentaiko salt bread (₩5,500)

Garlic (₩5,000), potato (₩4,500), castella (₩5,500)

I got there around 5 p.m., and the flavored salt breads were almost all gone, sob. I liked that they don't only sell plain salt bread but a variety of flavors! The prices are pretty decent too, haha.

The box is so cute that it seemed like a good gift, haha. I ordered the plain, ang-butter and mentaiko salt breads!

How spicy is the Cozy Bear mentaiko salt bread?

The mentaiko salt bread is spicier than I expected, about Shin Ramyun level. The combo of seaweed flakes and mentaiko is very salty, so it suits people who love salty flavors.

The mentaiko salt bread smelled so good, haha.

I loved the seaweed flakes plus mentaiko combo. It's the textbook salty-salty bite, so I think anyone who likes salty food will love it. The bottom is crisp and the inside is moist from the mentaiko sauce, so delicious, haha.

Since it's spicier than expected (Shin Ramyun level), if you can't handle spice I'd recommend the plain, ang-butter, potato or castella salt bread. True to a salt bread specialist, Cozy Bear has a crisp bottom and a strong buttery feel, which I loved!

The friend who ate with me said the spiciness made it taste even better.

How do Cozy Bear's ang-butter and plain salt breads taste?

My father had the ang-butter salt bread, and he said it tasted even better, maybe because they make the red bean paste themselves. The plain salt bread nicely showed off its butter cave (the hollow inside) and crisp bottom.

The plain salt bread had a well-formed butter cave and a crisp bottom too, so tasty, haha. Being salt bread, it went really well with an Americano!

If you're looking for a great bakery café in Songdo, I recommend Cozy Bear. There's a free public parking lot right in front, and the sunlight is lovely, haha.
