Sokcho bakery café with the fullest potato bread filling: Bultan

What is Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store?

Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store (속초불탄감자빵 본점) is a potato bread bakery café on Haksapyeong-gil in Sokcho, Gangwon. It is open every day from 09:00 to 17:00, and takeout and group visits are both possible.

Potato bread made fresh every day with Gangwon potatoes. The crust uses black sesame, black bean and black rice grain powder. No synthetic additives at all.

I found a great potato bread spot on my Sokcho trip, and it's Bultan!!!! The bread is made with squid ink, so the outside is black haha. That's why it's "burnt" (bultan) potato bread.

A friend recommended the potato bread here, so I stopped by right away while in Sokcho haha. I got mine to go, but the café is so pretty that I totally recommend sitting in too!!!

Is parking easy at Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store?

The parking lot is big, so no parking worries haha. The building's exterior is super hip too.

In we go, quickly!

What is the café interior like?

The interior has wood-tone decor and sofa seats, so it's incredibly cozy!!!!!

Here it is, Sokcho's famous Bultan potato bread haha.

The inside is set up really well for taking a break haha. If you love potato bread, definitely stop by and have a coffee too.

One side has cozy sofa seats, and the wood-tone interior feels calm and comfortable. Outside, you can see Seoraksan in Sokcho haha. The view is gorgeous too.

The café is cozy with plenty of seats, so I think it would be great for a quiet visit. There's a restroom inside, which is convenient!!

How do you order and try a sample?

You order at the counter. If you join the Naver receipt review event, they give you one free Bultan potato bread. I recommend writing the review before you eat.

They hand you a potato bread sample as soon as you walk in haha. The owner is super kind. The bread is packed with potato filling, and the potato skin is really chewy.

How do the Sokcho jjondeugi taste, and what do they cost?

The Sokcho jjondeugi (chewy dried snack) come in squid, red crab stick and chicken gangjeong flavors, 4 of each, 12 for ₩10,000. Apparently they're a hugely popular item too..!!! They all look delicious haha.

The jjondeugi looked so good I bought them right away haha. There are red crab, chicken gangjeong and squid flavors.

How much is the Bultan potato bread?

A box of Bultan potato bread is ₩10,000!!! I bought a box right away too.

There's a drink menu too, so I totally recommend the café haha. It's a tourist-area café, but the prices are kind.

They have cute stickers too. A Bultan potato bread sticker!

I bought 1 box of Bultan potato bread and 12 Sokcho jjondeugi haha.

How do you enjoy Bultan potato bread best?

The box says that for bread bought the same day or thawed at room temperature, microwaving for 20 seconds is recommended haha. It's potato bread with no synthetic additives at all.

The jjondeugi have pretty packaging and a long shelf life, so I think they'd make great gifts!!! A box of Bultan potato bread holds 4 pieces, and the packaging is really cute and well done.

How did the potato bread taste at the hotel?

I unwrapped the Bultan potato bread and ate it as soon as I got to my room haha. Maybe because it was made that day, it's so soft T_T It's wrapped in paper inside the plastic bag, which makes it really easy to eat!!!

If you microwave it, there's so much potato inside that it gets very hot, so be careful.

A smiling Bultan potato bread haha. It's so soft and seriously so good.

Which Sokcho potato bread has the most filling?

Bultan has a huge amount of soft potato inside the bread!!!! I bought a few other potato breads in Sokcho too, and none had as much filling as Bultan haha.

I think Bultan potato bread would also make a great Sokcho souvenir. If you visit Sokcho, I totally recommend stopping by.
