What kind of bakery is Bakery Onyu Jeju Oedo Branch?

Bakery Onyu Jeju Oedo Branch (베이커리온유 제주외도점) is a bakery popular with Jeju locals and the neighborhood, haha. The moment I walked in, the shop was full of the smell of toasty, sweet bread, and it put me in a great mood^

The name Onyu and the story of a two-generation family bakery

Bakery Onyu is a family bakery run across two generations: a father with 46 years of experience who is a Korean Master Baker (제과기능장), plus his son and daughter-in-law. "Onyu" (온유) comes from the Chinese characters 溫 (warm) and 柔 (soft), and I heard it means they make warm, soft bread and sell it the same day it is baked 👍

All the cakes at Bakery Onyu are made with unsweetened animal-based fresh cream from good milk, with no sugar, so they are said to be clean-tasting rather than sweet or greasy, with the natural flavor of the cream.

Why Bakery Onyu is worth a stop on a Jeju bakery tour

Bakery Onyu Jeju Oedo Branch has many distinctive breads you can't find at the usual franchises, so I think it is a good stop for travelers on a Jeju bakery tour too, haha.

Many items use Jeju local specialties, so visitors to Jeju can taste a truly special Jeju bakery, haha.

The bread shelves and the chilled dessert corner

The shelves are wide, a big variety of breads is neatly displayed, and each has a detailed description, so choosing was easy.

The chilled corner had all kinds of desserts you can't skip, like macarons, financiers and handmade chocolates.

Drinks to have with your bread

The shop has a wide range of drinks to go with bread, including coffee, lattes, ade, tea and smoothies. They were also running a Naver receipt event, and if you join in you can get a coffee too :)

The breads I picked at Bakery Onyu: how did they taste?

There were so many kinds of bread that I agonized, then just loaded up on a bit of everything, haha. I had visited once last year and every single bread was delicious, so this time I picked different kinds. I headed off thinking, I can't wait to eat these! ^^

Bakery Onyu's popular garlic bread

This is a popular Bakery Onyu item, full of butter flavor and garlic aroma, crisp outside and moist inside, soft and delicious^ By the way, "manong" (마농) is the Jeju dialect word for garlic, haha.

Basalt bread and fresh donut

I also picked up the basalt bread, made to evoke Jeju's basalt rock, and a fresh donut.

It is packed with cream cheese inside >.< I liked the crunchy texture on the outside, and the cheese flavor really came through, so I enjoyed it a lot ^

Cookies, chestnut manju, sandwiches and donuts

• Crispy, nutty cookies
• Big, hefty chestnut manju (밤만주, a baked sweet bun filled with chestnut paste)

There were also fresh sandwiches, and donuts too.

Bakery Onyu's salt bread sandwich stuffs lettuce, tomato, ham and cheese into salty, chewy salt bread, so it tasted fresh and delicious.

Bakery Onyu Jeju Oedo Branch makes all its breads and desserts in-house, and with fresh ingredients and great flavor, you can tell from a single bite why it is such a popular local favorite, haha.
