Sweet potato custard garlic bread at Danppang Bakery, a Danyang bakery

On a trip to Danyang, I stopped by a bakery too good to pass up — Danppang Bakery.

Where is Danppang Bakery in Danyang's Gugyeong Market, and is there a wait?

Danppang Bakery is inside Gugyeong Market in Danyang, and on weekends the line can get pretty long. Last time I went on a weekend the line was way too long, so this time I parked and headed straight for Danppang Bakery :)

Danppang Bakery and the black garlic dakgangjeong (fried chicken) place seem to be the two most popular spots at Gugyeong Market! They sit facing each other, so if you're visiting Gugyeong Market I'd recommend hitting these two first :)

Danppang Bakery's garlic bread flavors and in-store tasting

Crispy-outside-soft-inside garlic bread

Danppang Bakery had four kinds of garlic bread. It was great that you could taste them before ordering :)

Look at this — garlic bread loaded with cream cheese 🤍

Baguette garlic bread :)

• 🧄 Original garlic bread
• Crispy-outside-soft-inside baguette garlic bread
• Black garlic cream cheese garlic bread
• Cream cheese garlic bread
• Sweet potato custard garlic bread

It was hard to pick just one flavor, so I went with a set of all 4 :)

This place is apparently the first in Korea to grind black garlic directly into cream cheese :)

Two boxes packed and ready 🤗

Even from the photos you can tell each piece of bread is pretty sizeable, and the toppings and cream peeking out of the score marks really catch your eye.

How the four Danppang Bakery garlic breads tasted

Cream cheese garlic bread

The amount of cream cheese was quite generous. Cream is layered between the bread, so with each bite you get bread and cream together — pure happiness.

Sweet potato custard garlic bread

The combination of cubed sweet potato on top and custard cream was, needless to say, delicious :)

Crispy-outside-soft-inside baguette garlic bread

The sliced garlic flakes are the kicker on this baguette garlic bread. It's crunchier than the others, so if you like crispy textures, I'd recommend the baguette garlic bread :)

Black garlic cream cheese garlic bread

The outside is baked to a golden brown and the sauce soaks into the inside, giving it a richer flavor than your usual plain bread.

Which Danppang Bakery garlic bread was the top pick?

My top pick is 🍠 the sweet potato custard garlic bread. The sweet potato cubes on top were delicious and the custard cream went really well with the garlic bread :) Second place goes to 🧄 the cream cheese garlic bread. The softness of the cream cheese paired beautifully with the garlic flavor :) I think both would suit kids' palates too :)

Boxing up Danppang Bakery garlic bread to take home

📦 I also liked that Danppang Bakery packs individual breads into a box with dividers so they don't get squished or mixed together. It's a great setup whether you want to eat it right away while traveling around Danyang, or pick out a variety to share back at your accommodation or at home :)

How to store and reheat garlic bread for the best taste

• Same-day eating: eating it warm right after purchase is the crispiest and tastiest way.
• Air fryer reheating: if it's cooled down or you're eating it the next day, reheat at 160–170°C for 3–5 minutes to bring back that crispy-outside-soft-inside texture.
• Freezing: store leftover bread in a zipper bag in the freezer, then thaw naturally and reheat in the air fryer before eating.

Final verdict on Danppang Bakery

If you like bread and you're in Danyang, Danppang Bakery is worth a stop.

• ✔️ Big, appetizing-looking bread
• ✔️ Fun to pick and choose from a variety of flavors
• ✔️ Generous style with plenty of cream and toppings
• ✔️ A bakery that's easy to pack for travel

A great souvenir to pick up to remember your Danyang trip 🥐
