Lots of you head out on weekends or holidays for a drive-and-outing along the Nakdong riverside with family, right? If you're looking for a wide-open space and delicious bread that satisfies everyone from kids to grandparents, pay attention. Today I'm introducing Choi, a large bakery café in Yangsan right by the beautiful Nakdong riverside, perfect for stopping by after a nearby outing. Beyond its overwhelming scale and modern interior, it has a bread lineup diverse enough to cover every taste — basically heaven for family visitors. > A diverse bakery for all ages, an open café space, and Nakdong River views ## Choi Main Branch hours, parking and baby chairs - Hours: 09:00 – 22:00 - Parking: dedicated lot for the café - Baby chair available ## Inside Choi Main Branch, from basement 1 up to floor 3 ![Choi Main Branch building exterior and dedicated parking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-02-m3xc2-900.webp) There's dedicated parking on 1F and B1. That said, on weekends the crowds get so big that people were parking along the street out front too. If you're planning a weekend peak-time visit, keep that in mind! Choi is a massive café that uses an entire building, from basement 1 all the way up to the 3rd floor. The space used to house Haewoldang, which has since transformed into Choi. Since Haewoldang's head chef personally oversaw the renewal, there's no need to worry about the bakery's flavor or quality at all. ![Choi Main Branch 1st floor bakery display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-03-1pkqb-900.webp) The 1st floor is the bakery and ordering space, packed with a variety of delicious bread on display. ![1st floor ordering area with bread on display at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-04-1stzs-900.webp) ![Seating area at Choi Main Branch lit by floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-05-6kowk-900.webp) ![Interior of Choi Main Branch 2nd floor with Nakdong River view](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-06-i9bwy-900.webp) Floors 2 and 3 are the drink pickup area and seating. With high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, the Nakdong River view and natural light pour in wonderfully. From spacious group tables to sofa seating, the vibe here lets everyone relax comfortably — from families with young kids to large families visiting with grandparents. The 3rd floor is the perfect place to catch some outdoor breeze and unwind in this cool autumn weather! ![Outdoor space on the 3rd floor of Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-07-1hfsi-900.webp) ![Bread-warming oven and wrapping paper corner on the 2nd floor of Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-08-1x5c4-900.webp) On the 2nd floor, tucked in a corner, there's even a thoughtfully placed oven for warming your bread and wrapping paper for packing up leftovers. ## What bread does Choi Main Branch bake? ![Overview of bakery menu display at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-09-68lbh-900.webp) True to a large bakery, the bread lineup is really packed and varied. ![Pastry display at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-10-1faae-900.webp) ![Flaky-layered pastry varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-11-1xkoy-900.webp) Flaky, richly flavored pastries with their layers still crisp. ![Former Haewoldang signature red bean bread on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-12-1yuz3-m-900.webp) ![Baked snacks and sliced bread display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-13-wjg9i-m-900.webp) The former Haewoldang's signature red bean bread, baked snacks that go great with coffee, and various types of sliced bread. ![Panettone at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-14-1oj72-m-900.webp) ![Chocolate baguette display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-15-1awfn-900.webp) Panettone, which you don't see often, and the currently trending chocolate baguette! ![Salt bread series at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-16-yzex0-m-900.webp) ![Root-vegetable bread display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-17-1oohb-900.webp) ![Mammoth bread display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-18-c8gtf-900.webp) There's also the now-popular salt bread series, root-vegetable breads that grown-ups love, and mammoth breads. ![Bakery items topped with fresh fruit](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-19-1cc0p-900.webp) ![Mini cake display at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-20-6bh7j-900.webp) Bakery items piled high with fresh fruit and mini cakes round out the lineup perfectly!

The moment I bit into the rocket peach jam jambon (₩9,000), my eyes went wide. Salty jambon ham, rocket (arugula), with a touch of sweet peach jam mixed in — it's basically the textbook definition of sweet-and-salty. ![Rocket peach jam jambon sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-22-1ohdn-900.webp) The bulgogi focaccia (₩5,300) has savory sweet-and-salty bulgogi piled on fluffy focaccia bread. Loaded generously with bulgogi and cheese, this was especially the kids' favorite menu item. ![Bulgogi focaccia topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-23-1dnn4-900.webp) ![Rocket focaccia topped with tomato and olives](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family/yangsan-choi-jambon-focaccia-family-24-105r5-900.webp) The rocket focaccia (₩4,900) has tomato, rocket, and olives on top of fluffy focaccia, and honestly felt like eating an Italian pizza. It's not overly strong-flavored, so it's clean and light — perfect as a meal with a cup of coffee. ## Who should visit Choi Main Branch in Yangsan?
