There's a bakery section on one side of the store. It felt like all the breads I love were gathered in one place 💗 Salt bread, financiers, egg tarts, and so many other kinds! ![Display case with salt bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-07-1uoor-900.webp) I wanted salt bread, but there were so many kinds of salt bread that it took me a while to decide ⭐️ The system is: grab a tray next to the display, load whatever bread you want yourself, then bring it to the counter to order and pay along with a drink. ![Trays for loading bread next to the display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-08-d0r07-900.webp) ![Self-service mini Balmuda oven](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-09-1kikx-900.webp) ### The mini Balmuda oven customers can use freely There's also a mini Balmuda oven you can use freely. If you like your bread warmed up, you can pop it in to taste it fresh-baked — I really liked that touch ⭐️ ## Inside Frank Coffee Bar Dunsan: atmosphere and seating Inside, Frank Coffee Bar Daejeon Dunsan Branch has dim lighting and a vintage wood-tone interior; the space is spacious with generous gaps between tables. There's also a separate group table. ![Dimly lit wood-tone café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-10-oxmyi-900.webp) The overall interior has dim lighting with a vintage wood-tone look, which gave off a slightly European feel haha ![Vintage-feeling seating at Frank Coffee Bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-11-wxtdk-m-900.webp) ![Tables arranged with generous spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-12-108of-900.webp) The store is spacious overall, and the tables have plenty of space between them, making it a comfortable spot to chat. ![Group table at Frank Coffee Bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-13-1y1sn-900.webp) ![Seating beside the wide-open floor-to-ceiling window](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-14-5ogp6-900.webp) There's also a group table that seems great for coming with a crowd :) On a cool day like this, they had the floor-to-ceiling window doors wide open, and with the breeze drifting in, it felt like sitting on a lovely outdoor terrace. ![Guide for reserving salt bread via Naver](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-15-824eh-900.webp) ### Why popular salt breads are worth pre-ordering on Naver Frank Coffee Bar also lets you pre-order popular items like baked goods and salt bread through Naver Reservations before you visit.

I was thirsty, and the fizz was so refreshing, and it went even better alongside the desserts I had :) ![Pollock roe salt bread at Frank Coffee Bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-19-1fhem-1200.webp) The pollock roe salt bread had a rich, salty pollock roe sauce inside, which is the ultimate sweet-and-salty combo! The outside was crispy and the inside was soft, so the texture was great too, and the hint of nutty butter aroma made it even more satisfying :) ![Cross-section of the pollock roe salt bread with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-20-3rzc9-900.webp) ![Close-up of the pollock roe salt bread filled with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-21-1mdpo-900.webp) Look at that pollock roe sauce inside, isn't it amazing? 💗 ![Salty caramel financier topped with caramel coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread/frank-coffin-bar-dunsan-mentaiko-salt-bread-22-1owww-900.webp) Among financiers, the salty caramel financier is my absolute favorite… 💗 The caramel coating on top made it delicious, and the added salt kept it from being too sweet without going overboard. As good as any dedicated baked-goods shop!
