Corombang Bakery

The Legendary Taste of Mokpo

Koromabang Bakery is a historical gem in Mokpo, recognized as one of Korea’s oldest bakeries, with a heritage stretching back decades. It is a mandatory stop for any visitor to the city, famous for turning simple baguettes into unforgettable local delicacies.

The Iconic Signature Items

While the bakery sells a wide variety of delicious pastries and breads, two items consistently draw massive crowds and long lines:

• Cream Cheese Baguette: This legendary baguette is crispy on the outside and packed with a sweet, tangy cream cheese filling. Its rich flavor and unique texture make it instantly addictive.
• Shrimp Baguette: Highlighting Mokpo's coastal location, this savory baguette is filled with a creamy, shrimp-flavored spread. It offers a surprising and delicious taste of the sea.

The Experience

Like many famous local Korean bakeries, Koromabang is often crowded and bustling with customers eager to get their hands on the fresh-baked goods. Due to the high demand, the signature baguettes often sell out quickly, especially during peak tourist season or holidays. It's recommended to visit earlier in the day for the best selection. The bakery also offers nationwide shipping services.

"Koromabang Bakery is more than just a place to buy bread; it's a piece of Mokpo's culinary history. The Cream Cheese Baguette is a national treasure in itself. It's a must-try for any food lover looking for authentic Korean regional specialties."
