Over a weekday lunch break with her mother, the writer ordered the plain salt bread for 3,500 won, a hot yuja tea and an iced vanilla bean cream latte — the salt bread had a very crisp bottom and the latte's cream was thick and heavy. With 1 hour of free basement parking, Cozy Bear works well for a short break or a takeout stop. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, Units 101–102, Caris Plaza, 160-19 Haedoji-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–19:00 - **Parking**: 1 hour free in the building's basement parking lot - **Salt bread (plain)**: 3,500 won - **What we ordered**: Salt bread, hot yuja tea, iced vanilla bean cream latte - **Facilities**: Takeout, reservations, waiting area, mobile payment, parking, pet-friendly - **Event**: One free salt bread when you write a review - **Price reference**: ₩3,500 ≈ $2.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Cover image of Cozy Bear café in Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-01-o0997-900.webp) ✱ Incheon | Songdo café ✱ Cozy Bear.

Cozy Bear is on the 1st floor of Caris Plaza, a commercial building in the Songdo hagwon district. After finishing a weekday lunch with my mom, I was looking for somewhere to grab a light drink — and that's how I ended up at Cozy Bear, this Incheon Songdo café and bakery. Being on the ground floor of a hagwon-district commercial building, it's an easy stop for nearby parents and students passing by. ![Exterior of Cozy Bear on the 1st floor of Caris Plaza in the Songdo hagwon district](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-02-1sy12-900.webp) ![Cozy Bear's entrance and signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-03-1nwa2-900.webp) ![Parking sign for Cozy Bear building's basement lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-04-1k3tx-900.webp) Parking around the Songdo hagwon district alleys is usually tight, but Caris Plaza's basement parking lot offers 1 hour free. Given the parking time limit, I'd recommend this place mainly for takeout or a short break. ## Inside Cozy Bear: seating, and strollers out on the terrace Inside Cozy Bear there's a baking area, so the table space is on the smaller side. If you're bringing a stroller, the terrace seats would work well. ![Cozy Bear's cozy small table area](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-05-86l35-900.webp) ![Interior of Cozy Bear with baking area visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-06-16e6i-900.webp) ![Cozy Bear seating and interior decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-07-riwiw-900.webp) It has that cute neighborhood bakery café feel. I noticed quite a few moms chatting casually and students dropping by before or after academy classes. ## Cozy Bear's menu and what we ordered: yuja tea and vanilla bean cream latte The smell of salt bread was drifting through the whole café. My mom picked a warm yuja tea (citron tea), and I went with the vanilla bean cream latte from the BEST menu. ![Cozy Bear menu board and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-08-fw3t5-900.webp) ![Cozy Bear's salt bread display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-09-cjvyv-900.webp) ![Various kinds of salt bread at Cozy Bear](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-10-18dh3-900.webp) ![View of Cozy Bear's bakery shelves](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-11-146j8-900.webp) ![Name tags for each type of bread at Cozy Bear](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-12-8h3od-900.webp) There were so many kinds of salt bread, but after some deliberation I just went with the plain one. ## How does Cozy Bear's 3,500-won plain salt bread taste? (Bakery) Plain salt bread, ₩3,500. Living up to its status as Cozy Bear's signature item, the bottom of the bread was incredibly crispy. Savory and salty, I can see why it's so popular. ![One piece of Cozy Bear's plain salt bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-13-12od4-900.webp) ![Cozy Bear's salt bread showing its crispy bottom](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-14-1hugw-900.webp) ![Cross-section of Cozy Bear's salt bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-15-moela-900.webp) ![Plate of Cozy Bear's salt bread on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-16-1yjne-900.webp) ### Hot yuja tea vs. iced vanilla bean cream latte at Cozy Bear (Drinks) Hot yuja tea / iced vanilla bean cream latte. The warm yuja tea was sweet and tangy — a nice, easy sip. And they really didn't hold back on the cream for the vanilla bean cream latte! The texture of the cream was so thick and heavy. ![A cup of Cozy Bear's hot yuja tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-17-1c6kg-900.webp) ![Iced vanilla bean cream latte topped with generous cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-18-gzgq4-900.webp) ![Table setting with Cozy Bear's salt bread and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-19-pu96b-900.webp) ## Cozy Bear's free salt bread review event Cozy Bear is currently running an event where you get a free piece of salt bread for writing a review, so don't forget to grab it when you visit! ![Sign explaining Cozy Bear's free salt bread review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-20-2j6wl-900.webp) ![Event announcement posted at Cozy Bear](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-21-1f0on-900.webp) ![Final shot of Cozy Bear's salt bread and drinks in Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte-22-1qpin-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Cafe Cozy Bear Salt Bread Bakery Songdo Hagwonga Branch (카페 코지베어 소금빵 베이커리 송도 학원가점) - 160-19 Haedoji-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 연수구 해돋이로 160-19 1층 101, 102호 코지베어 - 37.3962493, 126.6469883 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%20%EC%BD%94%EC%A7%80%EB%B2%A0%EC%96%B4%20%EC%86%8C%EA%B8%88%EB%B9%B5%20%EB%B2%A0%EC%9D%B4%EC%BB%A4%EB%A6%AC%20%EC%86%A1%EB%8F%84%20%ED%95%99%EC%9B%90%EA%B0%80%EC%A0%90/@37.3962493,126.6469883,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@suwon-noon-griddle/songdo-cozy-bear-vanilla-bean-cream-latte/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
