I had something to take care of nearby, and while walking along the Yeonnam-dong street I got pulled in like I was hypnotized by the toasty, delicious smell. This Hongdae bakery — I didn't even know it was here, but I walked past, fell for it at first sniff, and just walked straight in haha. ![Interior of Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch filled with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-03-10v7c-966.webp) ## What is on the shelves at Mandong Jegwa? One-word bread names The display case at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch is packed with delicious-looking bread. It's stocked with exactly the kinds I always keep an eye out for when I go bread shopping — kind of caught me off guard (p) ![Bread on the display shelves at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-04-1bu4l-966.webp) ![Mandong Jegwa bread shelf with name tags](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-05-19h6f-966.webp) ![Various breads displayed at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-06-15lum-966.webp) ![Several breads on the display shelf at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-07-osq0g-966.webp) The bread names were all short, just about one word! These days bread names have gotten so long, like some apartment complex name, that I can't even bring myself to say them and just walk past. But here it's just "Emmental," "Walnut," that kind of short — way more memorable and it left an impression on me. ![Mandong bread corner with short name tags](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-08-1jqyd-966.webp) ![Bread-filled display at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-09-j81fj-966.webp) ![Shelf at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch for browsing bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-10-1kmz3-966.webp) I'm a total bread lover who can imagine the taste the second I see it. So many things looked delicious my eyes were spinning — this Yeonnam-dong bakery has the store packed full of bread, so just browsing was fun in itself. Every time I looked I was like, oh this one's good too... this one too... drooling the whole time. ![Freshly baked bread displayed at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-11-14nlq-966.webp) ![Bread sorted by type at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-12-13m4x-966.webp) ![Bread on the counter at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-13-sedoh-966.webp) ![Shelf for choosing bread at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-14-2jbuy-966.webp) ## Free samples and staff service at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch The staff at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch were super kind. While you're picking out bread, they hand out samples so generously, in big chunks — a true Hongdae bakery! Every sample piece was warm and absolutely delicious, so once you try it you basically have no choice but to pick it up and put it on your tray. ![Bread cut up for sampling at Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-15-40u6g-966.webp) ![Garlic baguettes on display at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-16-1jmet-966.webp) !["Butt bread" on display at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-17-arkgk-966.webp) ![Mandong Jegwa bread before being placed on a tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-18-z2efl-966.webp) I went in meaning just to browse and ended up leaving with both hands full — that's the magical charm of this Hongdae favorite. The garlic baguette, the "butt bread," all of it looked absolutely delicious ㅠ.ㅠ❤️ ![Bags of bread bought at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-19-1idvj-966.webp) ## The five breads bought at Mandong Jegwa and their prices - Emmental ₩5,200 - Walnut ₩4,300 - Maple ₩4,900 - Campagne ₩5,800 - Rusk ₩1,500 ![5 breads taken home from Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-20-1duvy-966.webp) ![Emmental and maple bread from Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-21-1hgyi-966.webp) ### Emmental ₩5,200 and maple ₩4,900: the samples that sold themselves Emmental and maple were the ones I couldn't resist buying once I tried the samples, they were that good. Subtly sweet with cheese flavor spreading richly through your mouth — my personal best menu items at Mandong Jegwa. The Emmental has actual Emmental cheese tucked in between thick cheddar cheese, and the bread itself is chewy and sweet, so the salty tang of the cheese pairs perfectly. ![Cross-section of Mandong Jegwa's Emmental bread with cheddar cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-22-ntr69-966.webp) ### Rusk ₩1,500: the bread you snack on like a cracker I couldn't resist squeezing one more in at the end — the rusk, which is great to carry around and pop like a snack. ![Packaged ₩1,500 rusk from Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-23-i53d1-966.webp) I used to have a favorite rusk spot in Bucheon, but it closed down and I was so sad ㅠ.ㅠ Finally found a new go-to rusk. Crispy and sweet, this Hongdae bakery's rusk was so good, with a faint hint of coconut flavor. Some rusks have syrup(?) scattered here and there but still taste plainly like white bread — personally I think that's a letdown. As you can tell from the color, the rusk at this Hongdae favorite, Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch, is packed with nothing but sweet, concentrated flavor ^ // ^) ❤️ ![Campagne with fig and cream cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple-24-ax5cq-966.webp) ### Fig campagne ₩5,800 at Mandong Jegwa The fig campagne was also really good, loaded with fig and cream cheese. This place really knows how to make bread. ## Is Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch worth a second trip? If you truly love bread, this is a Yeonnam-dong bakery you absolutely have to visit ㅠㅠ Genuinely delicious and great value for the price. Next time I'm nearby, I'm planning to clean the whole place out. A truly delicious, real-deal Hongdae favorite. Won over by the kindness, and won over again by the warm bread — thanks for the meal, Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch 🧡 ## Where it is - Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch (만동제과 연남점) - 32 Yeonhui-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서대문구 연희로 32 - 37.561526, 126.9272585 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%EB%8F%99%EC%A0%9C%EA%B3%BC%20%EC%97%B0%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.561526,126.9272585,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-menu-page/mandong-bakery-yeonnam-emmental-maple/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
