Where is BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch?

BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch is a bakery café on Dangsan-ro 27-gil, near Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station. The big red BYWAY BAKERS sign caught my eye right from the storefront.

The black exterior with wood accents and the red sign gave it a stylish feel. You can see the interior through the large glass windows, so I was excited before even going in.

Inside BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch

Inside, wood-toned tables and light-colored chairs are neatly arranged. Natural light comes in along the big windows, so the space didn't feel stuffy.

Gray walls and warm lighting create a calm atmosphere.

There are also large tables for several people, so it would work for a group get-together too. On one side is a bakery display shelf made of solid wood, which was fun to browse.

What breads are there, and how much are they?

As a proper Dangsan-dong bakery, BYWAY BAKERS has a really wide variety of breads, and I struggled to choose. There were sweet things like croissants, financiers, madeleines and canelés.

There were also breads good for a meal, like bagels, baguettes and focaccia. Each shelf shows bread names and prices, which made choosing easy.

• Plain bagel ₩2,900
• Potato cheese bagel ₩4,800
• Lemon madeleine ₩2,900
• Vanilla canelé ₩3,500

So there's a range of price points.

Coffee and drinks

The coffee menu was varied too: Americano is ₩4,000 and latte is ₩4,500. There are also milk tea, ades and teas, so you can pick by taste.

What I ate: wakppu salt bread and sausage bread

This time I ordered the wakppu salt bread, the sausage bread and two iced Americanos. Looking at the bread and coffee on the tray, I thought it would make a nice simple brunch.

Wakppu salt bread: crack it open for cream and mandarin

The wakppu salt bread (salt bread is a buttery roll with a salty crust) looked unique, a round bun with fruit on top.

It came wrapped in a yellow protective net, which looked so striking that I took a photo.

Its shape and makeup are different from ordinary salt bread, so it really stood out.

Smash it like a wakppu ball (the name suggests a bash-it-open treat) and cream and fresh mandarin burst out. Sweet, tangy and so good, haha!

Sausage bread: served in slices, easy to share

The sausage bread is a long baguette-shaped loaf with sausage inside. It's served cut into several pieces, which made it easy to share.

With the sausage showing between the bread it looked appetizing, and it went well with coffee. If you prefer hearty bakery items to sweet bread, this one is worth a look.

Two iced Americanos

For drinks, I ordered two iced Americanos and had them with the bread. They came in clear glasses, which made the red shop logo stand out even more. Alternating bites of the salt bread and sausage bread with coffee made for a lovely time at the café.
