Yeongjongdo dessert café for Dubai salt bread and canelé: 5PM sunset

What kind of café is 5PM sunset hour?

A Yeongjongdo dessert café in Incheon I'd visited once before and loved! It's not really in a spot tourists would stumble on — it's tucked into a residential neighborhood — but it's the kind of café you wish was right outside your front door.

Let me introduce 5pm sunset hour, a Yeongjongdo café where both the bread and the coffee are delicious. Orange seems to be the signature color of the 5pm sunset hour café!

Terrace seats and posted baking times at 5PM sunset hour

Besides the indoor space, 5pm café also has outdoor terrace seating, and it seems like a great spot to settle into now that the weather's turning cool.

Since it's a café selling baked goods, they actually post the times bread comes out. If you want freshly baked bread, it's worth checking the schedule before you visit.

The interior is so stylishly decorated too — today I got everything to go, but next time when I have more time I'd love to sit inside and relax.

On the café menu, I had a latte last time and remember it being rich and nutty, like they'd added fresh cream — so the coffee here is as much a highlight as the desserts.

What bakery items does 5PM sunset hour have?

The signature menu is salt bread, and it's famous for it, but beyond salt bread there's also butter rice cake, dujjonkku, scones, financiers, canelé, and a whole lot more — which I loved. Everything is made by the owner directly, so once one thing is delicious, you trust the rest will be too.

Takeout order: two Dubai salt breads, canelé and a Kkokku latte

I got everything to go today — two of the Dubai salt breads that were so good last time, plus a canelé and a Kkokku latte.

How does the Kkokku latte taste?

I drank the Kkokku latte first — it doesn't taste like it's made with just milk, it's got this richness that makes the nutty flavor even better. A latte needs good milk to be great, and this one is exactly my taste! If you like a heavier latte, you have to try this.

Dubai salt bread and canelé: sweet-salty and chewy

I held off eating right away and waited until I got home. The salt bread had sold out so I waited for a fresh batch — the chocolate coating was glossy and glistening, amazing.

I got the Dubai salt bread I loved so much last time, plus the canelé that every review calls a best-of-your-life canelé at 5pm sunset hour.

Look at this canelé cross-section — it's insane. They say it's crispy outside, chewy inside best fresh out of the oven, but I ate it the next day and it was still plump and chewy inside, whew. Plus the vanilla and butter aromas came through so well — classic really is the best.

As for the Dubai salt bread, the bread itself is saltier than you'd expect, which pairs perfectly with the chocolate coating on top for a sweet-salty combo. The crisp bottom is delicious too, and the spread inside is nutty and sweet — so good, ugh.

I actually stop by often whenever I'm in Yeongjongdo, and I really want everyone to visit — recommending 5pm sunset hour as a Yeongjong salt bread spot.
