Where is Danppang Bakery inside Gugyeong Market?
Danppang Bakery is a garlic bread shop inside Danyang's Gugyeong Market, right in front of the black garlic nurungji (scorched rice) fried chicken stall. On the way down to Danyang I quickly searched for food spots, and garlic bread kept popping up!! A bread-lover like me can never just walk past bread, haha.
It's inside Gugyeong Market, but once you actually get there you don't even need to look for it. It's the place with the long line! The place with garlic smell wafting through the air! The place right in front of the black garlic nurungji fried chicken stall!

There were so many people I couldn't even get a full shot of the store, ugh. That's how packed it was. Garlic bread really is a national bread, no question. That garlic smell is just impossible to walk past, haha.
What makes Danyang black garlic different?
Of course this Danppang Bakery is another Gugyeong Market spot featured in tons of media! And black garlic can't be left out! Looks like they used black garlic to make a black garlic cream cheese garlic bread. Now I'm genuinely curious — what exactly makes black garlic so special?! haha
Black garlic is made by aging and fermenting whole garlic bulbs, which removes garlic's sharp, spicy smell and leaves a chewy texture with a tangy sweetness, making it easier to eat. During fermentation, active compounds like melanoidin and S-allyl cysteine form, giving it over 10 times the antioxidant power of raw garlic, and it's said to help with fatigue recovery. (Source: Naver Encyclopedia) Not spicy and sweet — no wonder it can be used everywhere 👍🏻
So Danyang garlic is the origin of six-clove garlic!? While looking around the market I even found seed garlic for sale. I always thought you planted whole garlic cloves 🤣 first time seeing it, so interesting.

This is what a real hit spot looks like. Stacks of packaging piling up, disappearing fast, and just as quickly they're restocked to the brim.
I got the four-flavor set (cream cheese + sweet potato + black garlic + baguette)! Gave one set to Mom and brought one set home!
Cutting each garlic bread in half and baking it at home
Danppang Bakery's packaging has holes poked in it, so even when you carry home freshly baked warm bread, it doesn't get as soggy. That kind of thoughtfulness is great. But still, I baked it in the oven, the way it tastes best.
I cut each flavor in half and baked them. Looking at the cross-sections, there was quite a lot of filling packed in?!
Garlic baguette vs. cream cheese garlic bread
The garlic baguette has a crispy fried garlic flake topping on top, and the cream cheese garlic bread is packed with rich, melty cream cheese. As a cream cheese lover, I'm just so happy 🥰
Sweet potato custard garlic bread tastes like a cream-filled fish-shaped bun
The sweet potato custard garlic bread has custard sandwiched in instead of cream cheese, and this flavor is exactly like the sweet custard fish-shaped bread (bungeoppang) you'd eat in winter!!! The sweet, soft custard and sweet potato dice go together surprisingly well. Honestly, it might not even need the garlic sauce?! 🤣🤣
Which of the four flavors wins?
Personally, my one pick out of these four is the cream cheese garlic bread!! Cream cheese + garlic sauce is an unbeatable combo!! This is also the flavor moms love! Truly a flavor that can satisfy everyone, young and old alike!
Ate it up properly, then wrapped the rest tightly in plastic wrap and stashed it in the freezer!! Gonna pull it out whenever I want a snack 😋 If you love garlic bread — if you're heading to Gugyeong Market, stop by Danppang Bakery once! 😜
