Ikseon-dong takeout bakery before the 3pm sellout: Munhwa Bakery
In short
Munhwa Bakery is a takeout-only bakery in Ikseon-dong, Jongno, Seoul, right in front of exit 7 of Jongno 3-ga Station. Arriving on a weekday before 3pm meant a wait of 5–6 people before taking home garlic bread for 6,800 won, an onion bagel for 6,000 won and walnut bread for 3,500 won, plus a bite of injeolmi (sweet rice cake) bread as a sample. Since much of the menu sells out later in the afternoon, a weekday visit before 3pm is the easiest way to shop at Munhwa Bakery.

On a nice sunny day ☀️ that's exactly when bread-lovers like me start craving bread lol. I made it to Jongno 3-ga Station on the hunt for the famous Ikseon-dong bakery ‼️ I got there on a weekday before 3pm (using a training day off...). Days like this don't come often 🥹 so I rushed straight over haha

I love the vibe of shops in Ikseon-dong, Jongno — that hanok feel? that wood feel, I love it so much.. ❤️
I especially love a building with a nice woody design, and this bakery fits Ikseon-dong so well ㅠㅠ. The simple, straightforward
How long is the wait at Munhwa Bakery before 3pm on a weekday?
