With a Seongsu pop-up and a trip to Incheon on the same day, the heavy, oversized loaves stayed on the shelf and four lighter breads came home instead: chestnut loaf 4,900 won, yakbap bread 3,800 won, fig campagne 5,800 won and cappuccino bread 5,600 won, with staff-cut samples making the choice easier. The cappuccino bread was packed with an ice pack and still traveled fine until evening. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Takeout / Reservations**: Takeout available; reservations weekdays only, by Instagram DM or phone with prepayment - **Parking**: No parking; nearby public and paid lots are signposted at the shop entrance - **Chestnut loaf**: 4,900 won - **Yakbap bread**: 3,800 won - **Fig campagne**: 5,800 won - **Cappuccino bread**: 5,600 won - **Garlic baguette**: 7,000 won - **Eating on site**: Mandong Jegwa bread can be eaten at the nearby Ediya Yeonnam-dong branch (one drink per person required) - **Price reference**: ₩7,000 ≈ $5.1 · ₩5,600 ≈ $4.1 (2026-09-18) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Close-up of Mandong Jegwa's garlic baguette](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-01-q3fxt-1200.webp) *Garlic baguette (₩7,000) at Mandong Jegwa, a Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae bakery* ## Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch hours and location Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch is a bakery in Yeonnam-dong, near Hongdae, at 32 Yeonhui-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

I've been here so many times already, I've tried a bit of everything! ## How to reserve bread at Mandong Jegwa, and where to sit and eat it Mandong Jegwa also takes bread reservations — weekdays only, via Instagram DM or phone, with prepayment. After buying bread, you can also eat it at the nearby Ediya Yeonnam branch (one drink per person required). ![Sign explaining how to reserve bread at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-03-15jsp-966.webp) *How to reserve bread at Mandong Jegwa, a Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae bakery* ## Is there parking at Mandong Jegwa? Nearby paid lots There's no parking space provided by the store itself, but there was signage at the entrance pointing to nearby public and paid parking lots. Worth checking if you're driving! Ever since I started driving myself, I've made it a habit to check parking availability before going anywhere. ![Nearby parking lot signage at the entrance of Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-04-1dhrn-966.webp) *Parking info and nearby lots at Mandong Jegwa, a Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae bakery* ## Why a daytime visit beats evening at Mandong Jegwa Mandong Jegwa is so popular that if you visit in the evening, most things are usually sold out. If you have time during the day, this is a place you have to go to. Such a welcome sight after so long! ![View of bread displayed inside Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-05-1w6ag-966.webp) The inside is on the smaller side, but wherever you turn, it's packed with bread! A place where all you see is bread, and that makes me happy. ![Interior of Mandong Jegwa packed with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-06-71057-966.webp) *Mandong Jegwa, a Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae bakery* ### The signature garlic baguette, saved for next time Mandong Jegwa's super famous signature item is the garlic baguette (₩7,000). The glossy sheen on it... it's hard not to buy it just from the look. It's packed with sauce inside, so it's genuinely heavy when you pick it up! But that day I had to buy bread, hit a pop-up store in Seongsu, and then head all the way to Incheon, so I couldn't be carrying around anything too grand (lol). Sad, but I'll save it for next time, TT. ![Various breads on shelves at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-07-1jgtl-966.webp) Everything looks so good, it's getting hard to decide! ![View of the bread display counter at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-08-17izh-966.webp) ![Another section of the bread display at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-09-j9ysc-966.webp) ![Shelf of breads at Mandong Jegwa, hard to choose from](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-10-1xp5t-m-966.webp) ### Choosing with the samples staff cut at the counter Since I obviously couldn't buy everything! I was going around and around the bread shelves, carefully picking, when a staff member cut off pieces of various breads inside and let me sample them one by one, haha. They tasted great so I grabbed them right away! ![Breads chosen after tasting samples at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-11-qhzjj-966.webp) ![Close-up of breads on display at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-12-vjldt-966.webp) ![Shelf with cucumber baguette at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-13-5kecv-966.webp) ![Display shelf with fig campagne at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-14-6i9tj-966.webp) Honestly I also really love the cucumber baguette, but since it was a day for no grand breads, I skipped it with regret and just admired it with my eyes. Instead, since they offered to cut it up for me, I picked up the fig campagne! ## The four breads bought at Mandong Jegwa, with prices What I picked at Mandong Jegwa this day were four things: chestnut bread, yakbap bread, fig campagne, and cappuccino bread. Prices below. - Chestnut bread ₩4,900 - Yakbap bread ₩3,800 - Fig campagne ₩5,800 - Cappuccino bread ₩5,600 ![Four breads purchased at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-15-8iwh3-966.webp) *Bread picks from Mandong Jegwa, a Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae bakery* All of Mandong Jegwa's breads are good of course, but personally I really love their chestnut bread, packed generously with chestnuts. The yakbap bread is chewy and loaded with nuts, and the fig campagne is bursting with figs for a healthy feel — a satisfying, filling set <3. This day's picks were delicious again, no regrets. ## Mandong Jegwa cappuccino bread, packed with an ice pack One of Mandong Jegwa's signatures, the cappuccino bread (₩5,600), is a no-brainer choice... it's the kind of bread that's perfect with a cup of americano, black tea, or green tea for a little tea time! Since I had a full schedule that day, I wondered if it would be fine to buy it in the afternoon and carry it around until evening. They said it wouldn't be extremely hot that day so it should be fine, and it was just right when I got home at night and refrigerated it. They even packed it with an ice pack to keep it cool. ![Mandong Jegwa's signature cappuccino bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap-16-1cp8y-966.webp) *Cappuccino bread (₩5,600), a Mandong Jegwa pick, Yeonnam-dong, Hongdae bakery* See you again, Mandong Jegwa. ## Where it is - Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch (만동제과 연남점) - 32 Yeonhui-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서대문구 연희로 32 - 37.561526, 126.9272585 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%EB%8F%99%EC%A0%9C%EA%B3%BC%20%EC%97%B0%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.561526,126.9272585,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-napkin-fold/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-chestnut-yakbap/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
