Yeonnam-dong bakery parking tips and a pretzel favorite: Mandong Jegwa
In short
Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch (만동제과 연남점) is a bakery on Yeonhui-ro in Seodaemun, Seoul, and a famous stop on any Yeonnam-dong bakery crawl. On a third visit, the writer skipped the usual garlic baguette for a shrimp baguette, a pretzel, a bacon ciabatta and Ssuktteok Ssuktteok (mugwort rice cake bread), and the 5,000-won pretzel was the best of the four. Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch has no parking lot of its own, so park at a nearby public lot and go early if you want a full choice of breads.

The bakery I stop by every time I'm in Yeonnam-dong: Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch
Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch (만동제과 연남점) is the Yeonnam-dong bakery and Hongdae favorite I stop at every time I'm in the neighborhood. This was already my third visit! I've tried all kinds of breads each time, starting with the famous garlic baguette, and they're all so good that I don't think you can go wrong with any of them!
Where do you park at Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch?
Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch has no dedicated parking lot. If you come by car, you can use the nearby Yeonnam 3 Public Parking Lot, the Yeonnam 4 On-street Public Parking Lot, or the paid Dongjin Parking Lot.
Will there still be bread if you go late in the afternoon?
If you go late in the afternoon, some kinds of bread are sold out. I arrived late again this time and a few breads were already gone, but there's such a wide variety that I could still pick what I wanted.
This is the inside of Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch, a Yeonnam-dong bakery and Hongdae favorite. It's also famous as a stop on the Yeonnam-dong bakery tour! Since breads often sell out when you visit late in the afternoon, I recommend going a bit earlier if you want to buy lots of different kinds! And one more thing I notice every time I visit: the staff are all so friendly that bread shopping here is a pleasure ^^

4 Mandong Jegwa breads I picked instead of the garlic baguette
Shrimp baguette: shrimp-flavored cream and sweet potato mousse
The Mandong Jegwa shrimp baguette (₩5,800) is packed with rich shrimp-flavored cream inside, topped with sweet sweet potato mousse. I'd had the garlic baguette every single time, so this time I chose the popular shrimp baguette.🍤 If you enjoyed Mandong Jegwa's signature garlic baguette, I recommend trying the shrimp baguette too!
Pretzel: the best bread of the day
The Mandong Jegwa pretzel (₩5,000) has savory cheese on top and soft, sweet cream cheese inside. I loved the combination of savory cheese and sweet cream cheese. Personally, it was the best bread I had today!
Bacon ciabatta: salty bacon and cream
The Mandong Jegwa bacon ciabatta (₩4,900) has salty bacon and cream inside the ciabatta. Plain ciabatta plus salty bacon plus soft cream was really delicious.
Ssuktteok Ssuktteok: mugwort rice cake meets bread
The Mandong Jegwa Ssuktteok Ssuktteok (₩4,900) is a bread with a seriously cute name. The meeting of fragrant mugwort tteok (rice cake) and bread was fascinating. You get a strong mugwort tteok flavor and then a bread flavor too. It's pleasantly chewy, and the sliced almonds sprinkled on top add a nice texture. If you like both bread and tteok, give it a try!
Is Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch worth going back to?
Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch is the Yeonnam-dong bakery and Hongdae favorite that comes to mind every time I'm in the neighborhood. I loved being able to taste so many kinds of delicious bread. I picked new breads instead of my usual garlic baguette, and it was fun trying something different. The breads are all so good that you can grab anything and not go wrong! If you're planning a Yeonnam-dong bakery tour, I recommend Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch 👍✨
