Songdo low-sugar bakery for kids' snacks: butter tteok, Tomoru Bakery

Hi, this is Tela ( *᎑ ̫᎑) These days my son wakes up looking for bread every single day.. So every weekend I end up wondering what to get him for a snack, and this time I went to Tomoru Bakery in Songdo.

Since it's for my kid, I don't just grab any bread — I look for something I can feed him with a little more peace of mind. This place has a few things that set it apart from a typical neighborhood bakery, so I wanted to introduce it | ˶'ᵕ'˶）

A Songdo bakery run by a certified master baker

Tomoru Bakery is run by a Korea-certified master baker (제과기능장). Walking in, I saw so many awards on display that it instantly built up my expectations for the bread.

Apparently Tomoru Bakery also regularly donates to places like Oxfam, Habitat, and Save the Children ( ♡‧̫♡ )

It's not just about making delicious bread — they also care about giving back, and that made me like the place even more ‧⁺◟(⸝⸝ɞ̴̶̷ ·̮ ‹⸝⸝ᐡ)

Terrace seating with outdoor tables

There's also a terrace outside the store with tables.

On a nice-weather day like these, ordering a coffee and eating bread or a sandwich on the terrace is just — perfect (⸝⸝ ´𐋣`⸝⸝)

Why Tomoru Bakery is an Incheon-designated sugar-reduction bakery

This was one of the main reasons I came here to buy my kid's snacks. Tomoru Bakery is designated by Incheon city as a sugar-reduction bakery, selling breads made with no added sugar or natural sugars to cut down on sugar content.

*Low-sugar breads are marked separately*

Of course, bread itself is a treat, so this isn't about feeding it to my kid nonstop — but having options that ease the burden a little, for a kid who wants bread every single day, felt good.

There are so many chain bakeries around these days, so it was really refreshing to find a place in our neighborhood run directly by a master baker who's thinking about healthier bread too ᐢˊo̴̶̷̤ ༥ o̴̶̷̤ˋᐢ

A certified rice-flour bread pilgrimage store

Tomoru Bakery is also a certified rice-flour bread sales store, and I heard it's included among the 2026 Rice Flour Bread Pilgrimage stores. Rice flour (가루쌀, garu-ssal) is a variety specially developed for flour use — unlike regular rice, it doesn't need to be soaked in water and can be ground straight away.

Breads made with rice flour apparently have higher viscosity than wheat flour, giving them a chewier texture, and pastries made with 100% rice flour contain no gluten, so they're relatively easier to eat.

Maybe that's why, when picking bread now, I find myself checking for rice flour or reduced sugar too, not just whether it tastes good. If there's even a small chance to enjoy bread a bit more healthily, why not check twice~

This time I picked out a bunch of things for my son's snacks. Ah it was really hard to choose,, I wanted to take it all home (= into my own stomach)~

What rice-flour kongtteok kongtteok tastes like

First, kongtteok kongtteok (콩떡콩떡, a bean-studded rice cake bread)

It's bread made from rice flour with chestnuts, walnuts, glutinous rice, and beans inside.

It already sounds healthy just from the name, but it was even tastier than I expected! Packed with glutinous rice, so it's chewy chewy~ with a rice-cake-like texture inside, and best of all it wasn't too sweet — went really well with coffee too. Buying it 'for my son'..

If you prefer plain, nutty-tasting bread over sweet bread, this will probably suit you well (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ ᴗ ¤̴̶̷́⌯︎)✧

The butter tteok worth a second trip

Butter tteok — this one completely won me over this time. I popped it in my mouth the second I got in the car, so there's no photo of it.. eep.. ᐠ( ᐝ̱ )ᐟ

Honestly I just grabbed one while it was cooling off next to the hot steam, but after tasting it my first thought was 'ah, I should've bought more...' instant regret (⸝⸝ ◜~◝ ⸝⸝) Out of all the butter tteok I've had, this one honestly ranks among the very best ❤️ Super chewy texture with butter flavor blended in perfectly, great with coffee too. Buying it 'for my son'.. 2 I'm genuinely going back to Tomoru Bakery just for this butter tteok.

Pizza bread and guri ball at Tomoru Bakery

And the pizza bread and guri ball were my partner's picks! He loves pizza bread and guri ball, and I tried a bite too — also delicious. Buying it 'for my son'.. 3

Personally, pizza bread just feels like plain bread if the sweet-salty balance is off, but here that balance was really nailed. Hands down number one pizza bread I've had!

The guri ball was also good — not too sweet, nice and plain ₍ ᐢo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ᐢ ₎

The breads I bought for my kid's snack were great, but there was also a wide variety of breads for adults, so I want to come back and take my time choosing next time. (๑˙ꄃ˙๑)♡⃛

Corn panettone and soboro chosen as kids' snacks

And for my baby's snack, I picked the corn panettone. This one is really, truly for my son.. hehe

It's bread made with corn powder, and my baby really ate it well. For a kid's snack, you naturally look for something a little plainer rather than too sweet or intense, so having options like low-sugar bread or rice-flour bread made choosing a snack for him feel a lot easier.

Above all, no matter how much a mom tries to find a healthy snack, it's pointless if the kid won't eat it — but he ate this one well, so, success (｡˃̶͈ ᴗ ˂̶͈｡)

Receipt review event: free iced drink

Also, if you write a receipt review, you can get a free iced americano or iced tea (ง •̅ ▽ •̅ )ว

Grab a coffee before heading home with your bread~ (>̯͡.̮<̯͡)

Why Tomoru Bakery works as a Songdo Central Park bakery

These days there are franchise bakeries pretty much everywhere you go, so having a bakery run by an actual Korea-certified master baker close to home felt really nice.

It's not just about selling tasty bread — there's reduced-sugar bread, rice-flour bread, and breads that are good picks for kids' snacks too. And best of all, once I actually tried it, the taste was excellent too ദ്ദി ՞• ·̫ •՞ ꒱

I came this time to buy a weekend snack for my baby — or so I wrote, but honestly it ended up being a snack for me too.. Kongtteok kongtteok went great with coffee, the butter tteok was so good I've already decided to go back, and my baby really loved the corn panettone.

If you're looking for a good bakery near Songdo Central Park, I really want to recommend this place. Next visit I'll pick out one by one the breads I couldn't try this time, and the cucumber baguette is still floating in front of my eyes..

And I'm definitely buying the butter tteok again — now that I've tasted it, I'm stocking up on several ෆᶿ̴͈᷇◡ᶿ̴͈᷆ෆ Another delicious day, well fed.
