Songdo bakery café salt bread that won my kid's thumbs-up: Cozy Bear

In short

Cafe Cozy Bear Salt Bread Bakery Songdo Hagwonga Branch is a new salt bread bakery café in the academy district of Songdo's first sector in Yeonsu, Incheon. On a bread tour for a child who loves salt bread, the writer took home plain, ang-butter (red bean paste and butter) and castella salt bread to eat with coffee, and the fermented-butter flavor, crisp right down to the bottom, earned the child's first thumbs-up in a long time. Cozy Bear is worth a visit for families in Songdo looking for salt bread.

What time does Cozy Bear's salt bread come out?

✔️ Fresh-baked, crisp-outside, moist-inside salt bread comes out twice a day, every day at 09:00 and 2:00 p.m., so keep that in mind. They say it may close early once the prepared quantity sells out.

The salt bread varieties are potato, castella (sponge cake), pollock roe, garlic, ang-butter (red bean paste and butter) and plain. The 3+1 event was running on salt bread when I visited.

They even make the red bean paste by hand from domestic red beans, and with paper takeout bags and gift boxes, it's perfect for thank-you gifts or presents for friends!

Today I wanted to try a bit of everything, so I picked the plain salt bread, ang-butter and castella, and enjoyed them at home with coffee.

How does Cozy Bear's plain salt bread taste?

The plain salt bread is made with French fermented butter and Guérande salt, and the glossy, buttery aroma is amazing..

Made with premium flour, it's crisp outside and moist inside, crunchy all the way to the bottom.

The fermented butter flavor was especially good, and my kid said Cozy Bear's salt bread was delicious and gave me a thumbs-up for the first time in a while! If the kid approves, what more is there to say~ haha

Cozy Bear's castella salt bread has fresh cream inside, so it's a salt bread + whipped cream combo, and the sweet-and-salty mix was seriously the best ;; The true salt bread flavor hits you first, then the cream comes in all sweet-salty-sweet-salty.. with an Americano it was pure heaven!

Cozy Bear's ang-butter salt bread is packed with red bean paste and butter, so the filling was great too, and it melts the moment it hits your mouth! They must use good salt, and I'd honestly call this the salt bread holy land of Songdo! haha

I'll have to come back on a nice day to sit at a table in the breeze and drink a Cozy coffee :)
