Black garlic cream cheese bread at Danppang Bakery, Danyang market

Whenever I travel to Danyang, I always end up stopping by Danyang Gugyeong Market. Inside the market there's so much food and so many good eats that it's fun just to look around, and there are plenty of snacks that are perfect for a quick bite while traveling. This time, while looking for a good spot in Danyang Gugyeong Market, I stopped by Danppang Bakery, which is famous for its garlic bread.

What comes in Danppang Bakery's 14,000 won 4-flavor set?

Danppang Bakery sells several kinds of garlic bread, so you can pick according to your taste. Since it was my first visit, instead of choosing just one flavor, I went with the 4-flavor combo set so I could try several at once. At ₩14,000, it was ₩2,800 cheaper than buying each one separately, and I thought it was a good option for anyone who wants to try a variety at once.

How long is the wait at Danppang Bakery?

This is the charm of market food — you get to watch the whole process with your own eyes! Danppang Bakery is popular enough that there's a bit of a wait, but watching the bread being made in real time meant it never felt boring.

Four garlic breads compared side by side

Danppang Bakery's 4-flavor combo set includes baguette garlic bread, black garlic cream cheese garlic bread, cream cheese garlic bread, and sweet potato custard garlic bread — four flavors in total. Even though they're all garlic bread, the filling changes the taste and texture each time, so it was fun comparing them one by one.

Baguette garlic bread: crisp outside, soft inside

The baguette garlic bread had the most impressive texture — crispy outside, soft inside. The crunchy baguette exterior paired well with the moist, soft interior, and the fragrant garlic flavor came through gently. The bread itself had such a good texture that anyone who likes classic garlic bread would enjoy this one.

Black garlic cream cheese garlic bread, made with Danyang black garlic

The black garlic cream cheese garlic bread might be one of the most unusual breads you can find, one that's really only available here at Danyang Gugyeong Market!! You get the deep flavor of black garlic (Danyang's local specialty) together with the smooth taste of cream cheese. It had a richer, fuller flavor than regular garlic bread, so personally I found it a fun, different way to enjoy garlic bread. It would also make a great souvenir to bring home from a Danyang trip!!

Cream cheese garlic bread, reheated in an air fryer

The cream cheese garlic bread, the kind we're all more familiar with, had soft, savory cream cheese that made the garlic bread's flavor even mellower. The garlic wasn't too overpowering and blended naturally with the cream cheese, making it easy to eat without feeling heavy. Warmed up in the air fryer, it tasted absolutely amazing!

Sweet potato custard garlic bread, the one kids like

Last up, the sweet potato custard garlic bread stood out for its sweet, soft flavor. The sweetness of the sweet potato combined with the softness of the custard made it enjoyable almost like a dessert, and out of the four it was the most unusual flavor, which made it fun to eat. If you like soft, sweet flavors, you'll probably love this one — it seems especially good as a snack for kids~~
