Ikseon-dong bakery to hit before 2pm: onion bagel and garlic bread
Munhwa Bakery (문화제빵) is a takeout bakery in Ikseon-dong, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from Exit 7 of Jongno 3-ga Station. The popular breads sell out quickly, so Munhwa Bakery is best visited before 2pm, and the shop is so small that only two parties are let in at a time. Even a single onion bagel and one garlic bread come packed in a sturdy paper shopping bag, and both had a sweet-and-salty balance worth the stop.
