Salt bread gift box of 8 for 21,000 won at a Songdo café: Cozy Bear

I kept passing by a café with a cute bear illustration opening up near the Songdo hagwon district, and I finally made it over! Turns out it's a salt bread specialty bakery café in Songdo, Incheon. Let me introduce this new spot — bread lovers, pay attention!

Salt bread baked twice a day, at 9am and 2pm

The highlight at Cozy Bear is the warm, freshly baked salt bread that comes out twice a day, at 9am and 2pm. It's baked and sold the same day. When you arrive out front, a bear character hugging a pile of salt bread greets you — isn't it too cute? They're currently running a generous opening event: buy 3 salt breads and get 1 free.

If you time your visit right, you can enjoy this Songdo, Incheon bakery's salt bread at its absolute best — crisp outside, chewy inside.

Outdoor tables and the small indoor seating at Cozy Bear

Outside Cozy Bear there are neat outdoor tables, great for stopping by on a nice day while walking your dog. It seems like it'd be perfect to use in spring and fall.

Inside, the seating is compact — two 4-person tables and two 2-person tables — done in wood and white tones that give this Songdo, Incheon café a cozy feel.

You can see the freshly baked salt bread here.

French cultured butter and Guérande sea salt in every loaf

For a deep flavor, they use French cultured butter and Guérande sea salt, and the dough is made with French flour chosen for its texture and aroma. Cozy Bear, a Songdo café that spares no expense on pricey, high-quality ingredients, has the flavor covered.

The red bean in the ang-butter salt bread is made by boiling domestic red beans in-house! The potatoes are domestic too. The coffee beans are roasted by a national-champion-level barista, so you get quality coffee at the friendly price of ₩3,800 for an americano.

Apparently if you write a Naver review, they give you an iced tea~

Two iced americanos and two salt breads to go for a walk

Since the weather was nice, I packed two iced americanos and two salt breads from Cozy Bear to eat while walking with my husband~

The cup sleeve has a drawing of a bear hugging a handful of salt bread, and it's so cute — even the little dropped salt bread details made me feel extra happy. Take a bite and it's buttery salt bread, crisp yet moist. A flavor that makes you happy! This is definitely one of the best salt bread spots in Songdo! I'll be back soon to try the other flavors!

If you'd like to enjoy delicious salt bread with a relaxing cup of coffee, be sure to stop by Cozy Bear in the Songdo hagwon district~
