New items worth browsing at BYWAY BAKERS

This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch. They put out new items almost every week, every month. Whatever wasn't there last time shows up again, so there's always something new to look at.

What I really find trendy is that they make trendy ingredients or desserts into new items right away. It's so amazing!!

The new peach wakppu financier seemed really well made too. New items were all lined up — corn cheese salt bread, fig pistachio tart, butter bresan, and caramel macadamia financier.

What other breads and drinks does BYWAY BAKERS have?

There are SO many kinds.

Bagels, baguettes, salt bread, butter tteok (rice cake), croissants, pretzels, red bean bread, financiers, tiramisu, focaccia — and they even have whole cakes and cake slices. Browsing the bread was so much fun.

The signature salt bread, their most popular item, comes out three times a day (08:00, 11:00, 14:00), and the salty financier is popular too.

The drink menu is varied too. From seasonal drinks like matcha melon ade, ube latte, coconut smoothie, and red bean shaved ice shake, to Americano, latte, milk tea, lemon ade, and iced tea — they have everything.

The new fig pistachio tart, ₩5,600 and no cream cheese

This time I ordered the new fig pistachio tart. It's ₩5,600, and honestly, I thought that price was very reasonable. The packaging was so pretty too, perfect for casually celebrating someone's birthday.

They even give you number candles and an HBD headband, so it's really great as a birthday gift :) I actually gave it to my Pilates instructor who recently quit, haha.

Personally, what I liked best was that it doesn't have cream cheese. It uses pistachio cream instead. Almost every tart uses cream cheese (and I really dislike cream cheese), but this one just uses plain cream, so I grabbed it right away~~

It was so delicious. Sweet just the right amount, with the crumbly tart shell and the cream that melts away — the texture combo was great...

Jambon beurre baguette and financiers to go

I also took home a jambon beurre baguette, plus a fig financier and a chocolate financier. My hands were full and it felt so satisfying!

The jambon beurre really has a lot of jambon ham inside. There's plenty of butter too — and I didn't realize this and microwaved it, so it all melted, but the savory flavor was still there, so it was delicious even a day later~

As for the financiers, do I even need to say it,,♥

Third visit to BYWAY BAKERS: the verdict

If you're looking for a bakery near Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station, I recommend BYWAY BAKERS Yeongdeungpo Branch. With around 60 kinds of bread and desserts, and new items every time you visit, browsing is genuinely fun.

What impressed me was how they keep making desserts with whatever's trendy at the moment, and how there are delicious options without cream cheese, like the fig pistachio tart — great for people like me who don't like cream cheese.
