I went back craving its garlic bread, then ended up filling my bag with all sorts of other loaves too. Verdict: a must-stop when a garlic-bread craving hits. ## Good to know - **Address**: 32 Yeonhui-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 서대문구 연희로 32) - **Production**: Bread made the same day is sold - **Visit tip**: Popular items may sell out later in the day *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Featured bread photo introducing Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-01-19l7j-1200.webp) ![Bread from Mandong Jegwa in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-02-1eygc-900.webp) When I’m craving bread, I can look around for all kinds of options, but there’s always one place that eventually comes to mind, you know? For me, that place is Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch (만동제과 연남점). ![Bread photos from before and after visiting Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-03-13z42-900.webp) Especially on days when I want garlic bread, I seriously can’t just walk past this place lol. I was in Yeonnam-dong again this time, started thinking about bread, and naturally headed to Mandong Jegwa. And yep, I walked out with a bunch of things packed up again haha. ## Why I Went Back to Mandong Jegwa in Yeonnam-dong Mandong Jegwa is such a well-known bakery in Yeonnam-dong that bread lovers probably already know it well. It’s also within walking distance of Hongik University Station, so it’s a great place to stop while exploring Yeonnam-dong. Every time I go in, I tell myself, “I’m really only buying a little today.” But somehow, by the time I come out, the bag is heavy lol. ![Visit to Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-04-l6294-900.webp) ![Visit to Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-05-1jdfh-900.webp) The smell of bread hits you the moment you walk in—totally unfair. When the door opens, that nutty, sweet bakery scent just rushes out, and honestly it makes it impossible to think straight lol. ![Inside the shop with its nutty, sweet bread aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-06-ue55x-900.webp) There are so many kinds of bread that, as you look through them one by one, you somehow forget what you originally came to buy. Mandong Jegwa has lots of breads generously filled with ingredients, so each one feels satisfyingly substantial. Even one as a snack feels pretty filling! ![Display with a variety of breads to choose from](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-07-18y6z-900.webp) ## You Can’t Skip the Garlic Bread at Mandong Jegwa Mandong Jegwa garlic bread, of course!! I simply couldn’t pass it by on this visit either. Honestly, garlic bread is the first thing I think of when I think of Mandong Jegwa. ![Garlic bread from Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-08-1esh1-900.webp) The outside is lightly crisp, while the inside is soft, and the garlic sauce has soaked right into all the gaps in the bread. One bite and that garlic flavor really comes through. It’s sweet and savory, with that unmistakable garlicky aroma, so it’s delicious with coffee or all on its own. ![Garlic bread highlighting the flavor of garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-09-115is-900.webp) ![Sweet and savory garlic bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-10-fpzu3-900.webp) This really is... the flavors you already know are the most dangerous lol. Once you’ve had it, you can’t help thinking about it again. ## Packing Up More Than Just Garlic Bread ![Bread packed up besides the garlic bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-11-e24s2-900.webp) ![Several varieties of takeaway bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-12-1nkzr-900.webp) I meant to buy only garlic bread this time, but I ended up choosing a bunch of other things too lol. There are so many breads that catch your eye once you step inside, so picking just one is actually harder. You grab a usual favorite, add one you’ve been curious about, and before you know it, your bag is full lol. But isn’t that the fun of bakery shopping? ![Breads chosen during a bakery shopping trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-13-wgdav-900.webp) What I like about Mandong Jegwa isn’t simply that it has lots of bread; it’s that every item has its own distinct character. From fluffy breads to chewy ones and breads filled with cream or other fillings, it’s fun to choose according to your taste. ![Breads with varied textures and fillings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-14-ms12t-900.webp) And the signature items are the kind of flavors you reach for again every visit, so going back is basically unavoidable lol. ![Signature bread chosen again on a return visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-15-jvo52-900.webp) ![Signature bread from Mandong Jegwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-16-1peb7-900.webp) ## Choosing Bread Made That Day ![Bread made that day](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-17-8q7xj-900.webp) ![Freshly made bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-18-1s3ru-900.webp) ![Bread available to choose from in the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-19-1h8cs-900.webp) Mandong Jegwa sells bread made that day, so I’d recommend choosing about as much as you’ll eat when you visit. ![Bread selected in an amount to eat during the visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-20-myl26-900.webp) Popular items can sell out if you visit later in the day, so if there’s a bread you really want, I think it’s best to give yourself a little extra time and go earlier. I’m already wondering which bread I’ll try next time lol. ![Bread that makes me wonder what to choose next time](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-21-45y9x-900.webp) ![Breads chosen before packing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-22-ktclw-900.webp) ![Takeaway package filled with several breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-23-104bp-900.webp) Once again, I packed up garlic bread and all sorts of other things and left in a very good mood. I think once bread gets into your head, you have to eat it for peace of mind lol. I seriously recommend it, especially if you love garlic bread!! ![Garlic bread and packed takeaway breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread-24-1ut22-900.webp) If you’re looking for a delicious bakery in Yeonnam-dong, then as a true bread lover, I still recommend Mandong Jegwa! Today again, I headed home happily carrying a bag full of bread haha. ## Where it is - Mandong Jegwa Yeonnam Branch (만동제과 연남점) - 32 Yeonhui-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 서대문구 연희로 32) - 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/@soban-notes/yeonnam-mandong-bakery-garlic-bread/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
