Danyang bakery with ice cream for a baby trip: Black Garlic Salt Bread

We went on a family trip to Danyang with our baby and really wanted to stop by Danyang Gugyeong Market. While looking up market food, I found a place selling salt bread made with garlic — very fitting for Danyang — so we checked it out. It's called Black Garlic Salt Bread, and they don't just have plain salt bread; they have garlic and black garlic versions too, the kind of menu you'd only really try in Danyang, which made it great for a travel snack or gift to take home. We visited with our baby and took away Set 1 and Set 2 to try each flavor, and comparing them side by side was way more satisfying than just buying one kind.

Black Garlic Salt Bread, a Danyang Gugyeong Market favorite

Where is Black Garlic Salt Bread in Danyang Gugyeong Market, and when is it open?

Black Garlic Salt Bread is located at 36 Dojeon 4-gil, Danyang-eup, Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Unit 109, inside Danyang Gugyeong Market. It's open until 8 pm and closed every Tuesday and Wednesday! If you're planning to add it to your itinerary, I'd recommend checking the place listing on the day of your visit since closing days can change.

Since we visited Danyang Gugyeong Market with our baby, we came by car, and Danyang has good public parking, so if you're heading to Gugyeong Market you can just use the free public parking lot.

Salt bread flavors and prices at Black Garlic Salt Bread

Black Garlic Salt Bread had four types in total: original ₩3,000, streusel ₩3,800, garlic ₩3,800, and black garlic ₩4,200.

The set menu lineup was pretty solid too. Set 1 is four original for ₩11,000, Set 2 is two original + one garlic + one black garlic for ₩13,000, Set 3 is one original + one streusel + one garlic + one black garlic for ₩14,000, and Set 4 is two garlic + two black garlic for ₩14,800. We took away Set 1 and Set 2, which gave us plenty of the basic salt bread plus a chance to compare the garlic and black garlic ones — great combo!

The bread came packaged with a handle, which made it easy to carry around while exploring more of the market, and instead of a plain plastic bag it felt like a thoughtful choice to bring home as a Danyang trip gift.

They said the black garlic salt bread uses black garlic aged in-house, and the original salt bread dough is kneaded and baked fresh every day. Since they follow a same-day-made, same-day-sold policy with no preservatives or coloring, that caught my eye too, traveling with a baby.

Sangha Farm ice cream at the bakery counter

Besides the salt bread, they also sell Sanghamokjang ice cream! It's made with organic milk, so it seemed like a nice snack for kids while wandering the market. They're also running a Sanghamokjang ice cream event with salt bread set purchases, so write a photo review and enjoy some ice cream too!

If you're coming to Danyang for a family trip, I really recommend stopping by Gugyeong Market. Danyang is famous for garlic, so it was great to find garlic-based Danyang food all gathered in one place, easy to take back to the stay and eat. If you're also looking for dessert or a travel gift, I recommend Black Garlic Salt Bread! It's easy to pack up, and since you can pick a set with several flavors, it also makes a good gift for parents or family.

Original vs garlic vs black garlic salt bread, tasted at our stay

We took the bread back to our stay, put the baby to sleep, and got the bread out right away. My husband and I really love bread haha. The reason we chose both Set 1 and Set 2 together was so we could try original, garlic, and black garlic all at once!

The original was a solid basic salt bread that went well alongside the other flavors, and the garlic salt bread had that familiar garlic flavor added, which made it easy for us — both garlic lovers — to enjoy without any hesitation.

Among them, true to being something we ate on our Danyang trip, the black garlic salt bread was the most memorable. Trying a menu made with actual black garlic in Danyang felt more special than just buying regular salt bread anywhere — it really added to that traveling feeling. Knowing they age the black garlic in-house made it feel even more special.

Which Black Garlic Salt Bread set should first-timers order?

I've had the experience before of taking home a bread that was famous at a travel destination, only to buy a bunch of just one flavor and get sick of it fast. Black Garlic Salt Bread has sets that mix original, garlic, and black garlic evenly, so it was also great for sharing one of each with family. If it's your first visit, I'd recommend picking a mixed set like the Set 2 we chose, so you can compare flavors. Getting to try garlic and black garlic salt bread you can really only find in Danyang made this Danyang Gugyeong Market favorite all the more memorable.
