Gwangalli bakery with long waits, pumpkin injeolmi bread, and buttery pastry
A popular Gwangalli bakery on Gwangnam-ro, close to Geumnyeonsan Station Exit 1. Entry is controlled by waiting order, so the inside stays calmer than the line outside suggests.
The pumpkin injeolmi bread is the first thing to look for, with buttery bread and a Korean rice-cake texture. Myeongnan baguette, chocolate baguette, pastries, and sandos make it a proper bread-pilgrimage stop, not just a photo bakery.
