How we read reviews →Essendon Korean bakery whose garlic sogum salt bread has Melbourne queueing up
Small, cosy, Seoul-meets-Tokyo bakery cafe opposite Essendon station. Warm and relaxed, with a few tables inside and outdoor seats, and the smell of fresh bread.
Korean salt bread baked daily with changing toppings, weekend-only cream melon bread, Duke's beans for espresso and batch brew, matcha drinks, and a toaster oven for toasting your own bread.
Strong Korean credentials: Korean reviewers say the salt bread matches or beats Seoul versions, with the hollow crumb and crisp base prized there.
Seen as fair for the quality, though some find the pieces small for around $6.50 to $8 and mention a Sunday surcharge. Coffee and matcha are well liked.
