On the way back from a work errand as a new driver, the writer parked next to the GS convenience store and had sausage salt bread, kouign-amann, chestnut loaf, streusel cranberry loaf and a soft dinner roll with an iced café latte. Cafe Arc has a wide range of breads and an especially good café latte, making it a good stop for bread and coffee in Icheon. ## Good to know - **Location**: 67 Cheongbaengni-ro, Baeksa-myeon, Icheon, Gyeonggi-do - **Parking**: Parking space next to the GS convenience store near the café - **Size**: Two floors (1st and 2nd) - **Seating**: Private room table at the back of the 2nd floor for groups of 3 or more - **What I ordered**: Iced café latte, sausage salt bread, kouign-amann, chestnut loaf, streusel cranberry loaf, dinner roll - **Visit tip**: Popular loaves and salt bread can sell out by late afternoon or evening, so go in the early afternoon *as written by the visitor on Jul 7, 2026* Finally! Last week I drove myself out on a work errand and stopped at a bakery café in Icheon on the way back~! I practiced driving here and there in the first half of the year, and as soon as the second half started I went out on a work trip haha (it was my first time driving far alone, so I was nervous....). When you take a car, whether there's parking matters so much, so let me start my review of Cafe Arc (카페 아크), which has parking~~😉 ![Cafe Arc, a bakery café in Baeksa-myeon, Icheon, main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-01-1weja-1200.webp) ## Where is Cafe Arc, and is there parking? Cafe Arc is a bakery café tucked between alleys off Cheongbaengni-ro in Baeksa-myeon, Icheon, and you can park in the space next to the GS convenience store near the café. Since it's a bit tucked into the alleys, it seemed like a lot of locals come here too~! ![Exterior of Cafe Arc tucked between alleys](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-02-84nzd-900.webp) ![Modern exterior of Cafe Arc with full glass windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-03-1wnwg-900.webp) The first thing I noticed on arriving at Cafe Arc was the very modern, clean building exterior! It has full glass windows, so it feels incredibly open~! The thing most people worry about when going to a café is parking, right? If you use the space next to the GS convenience store near the café, you can park really comfortably🚗 Even a beginner driver like me parked with no trouble! haha ## Cafe Arc's first-floor bakery display and seating ![High-ceilinged first floor of Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-04-mxmay-900.webp) The first floor of Cafe Arc has a high ceiling that feels open, with the bakery display right at the front. The moment I opened the door and stepped in, the toasty, fragrant smell of bread hit me❤️ Being a bread lover, I headed straight for the display~ haha ![Bakery display on the first floor of Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-05-hyj7p-900.webp) ![Salt bread and other breads in the Cafe Arc display](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-06-1u55x-900.webp) ![Loaf breads in the Cafe Arc display](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-07-pxurg-900.webp) Cafe Arc has an especially wide variety of salt bread and loaf bread~ I'll introduce what I picked in detail later! ![Table seating on the first floor of Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-08-uhdtb-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged tables on the first floor of Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-09-9urmc-900.webp) The neat, stylish table layout made the whole place feel pleasant! ![Pleasant first-floor space at Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-10-8t9m8-900.webp) I went up to the second floor too~ ## Cafe Arc's second floor and room table for 3 or more ![Second-floor seating area with windows at Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-11-1arav-900.webp) ![Cozy interior of the second floor at Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-12-3mqln-900.webp) Cafe Arc has two floors in total, and the second floor is a cozy space for chatting while looking out the windows. Going up the stairs, I found a cozy, comfortable space with a different charm from the first floor ✨ It was just right for chatting while enjoying the view outside~ ![Second-floor room table at Cafe Arc for groups of 3 or more](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-13-12ukv-900.webp) At the back of the second floor there's a room table you can sit at if you come with 3 or more people~ It's a great setup for families to spend a relaxed time! ## Cafe Arc's drink menu: what did I order? ![Cafe Arc drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-14-19tsa-m-900.webp) ![Cafe Arc coffee, ade and tea menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-15-z8sxg-900.webp) ![Cafe Arc signature drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-16-1vh0x-900.webp) Cafe Arc's menu runs from a variety of coffees to ades and teas, so there's a very wide choice of drinks. The menu was also neatly organized and easy to read! Signature drinks that go well with bakery items caught my eye, but to pair with the sweet breads today I chose a clean, nutty iced café latte 🎵 ![Table set with an iced café latte and breads](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-17-1k9bb-900.webp) My order came out~~ It's a bread party, right? hahaha ![Breads and drink ordered at Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-18-obzsb-900.webp) ![Several kinds of bread and an iced café latte at Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-19-1q6ob-900.webp) I took the rest home, and warming it briefly in the air fryer made it even tastier haha ![Sausage salt bread from Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-20-1uqzf-900.webp) ## How were the sausage salt bread, queen amann and iced café latte? Cafe Arc's sausage salt bread is salty and buttery, with a snappy whole sausage inside, and the savory flavor just exploded! It's hearty enough to work as a meal~~ ![Sugar-coated queen amann from Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-21-x9al6-900.webp) The queen amann (a caramelized, laminated butter pastry), which was the best sugar boost, showed off textbook crispy pastry with every layer distinct! When the faint sweetness of the sugar coating lingers in your mouth and you take a big sip of the rich, nutty iced café latte, it's total healing~! Cafe Arc is honestly a latte hotspot haha The nuttiness of the latte's beans blends so well with the milk that it pairs wonderfully with the sweet desserts!♥️ ![Iced café latte and desserts at Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-22-e6qfh-900.webp) ![Chestnut bread with whole chestnuts from Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-23-c2weo-900.webp) ## How were the chestnut bread, streusel cranberry bread and morning roll? Cafe Arc's chestnut bread is crisp outside and moist inside, and sweet, soft whole chestnuts are generously studded in every piece you tear off, so it was so good~! And the streusel cranberry bread has a nutty, sweet streusel topping with tangy cranberries to chew on here and there, so there's no moment of getting tired of it, just a perfect balance of flavors😉 ![Streusel cranberry bread and morning roll from Cafe Arc](https://img.superchart.com/images/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread-24-18zmi-900.webp) The plain morning roll (a small soft dinner roll) was also chewy yet light, with a charm that keeps your hand reaching for more~! I took the morning roll home and ate it for breakfast at the office haha ## When is the best time to visit Cafe Arc? If you visit Cafe Arc in the late afternoon or evening, popular loaf breads and salt breads can sell out quickly~! If you want to try a variety of tasty breads, I recommend going in the early afternoon if you can! Thanks to the tasty bakery and the cozy space, Cafe Arc was a place where I could recharge happily on my way back from a weekday work errand ❤️ If you're looking for tasty desserts and a place to unwind near Icheon, do stop by! ## Where it is - Cafe Arc (카페 아크) - 67 Cheongbaengni-ro, Baeksa-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 이천시 백사면 청백리로 67 카페 아크 - 37.3035131, 127.4693036 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%20%EC%95%84%ED%81%AC/@37.3035131,127.4693036,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@under-soft-lights/icheon-cafe-ark-sausage-salt-bread/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
