Ganhyeon Bakery (간현제빵소, Ganhyeon Jeppangso) is a bakery café on Ganhyeon-ro in Jijeong-myeon, Wonju, that sells mostly salt bread, with a plain salt bread for 1,800 won. We came across it by chance as a family during our ski trip to Oak Valley and sat down with a salt bread, a pizza bread, a salad bread and churros. The salad bread was good, the rest was disappointing, but the bakery is on the way to a part of Wonju with plenty to see.

A bakery we found by chance
We had not planned to stop here; we found it by chance during our stay at Oak Valley. The building is small, with red brick, a pitched roof and strings of lights over the door. The front is covered in signs. The name board says “Bakery Café”. A poster on the left advertises salt bread (소금빵) and says it is made with Korean rice (우리쌀로 만들었어요). A poster on the right is for red bean buns (단팥빵), and a large banner on the wall next to the door reads “소금빵 1,800” with a line saying the bread is baked every day. The same line appears at the bottom of both posters: that they make healthy, tasty bread every day with care and responsibility.
The bread counter
Inside, the bread is laid out on a long counter in trays with clear plastic covers, and packaged loaves and pastries are lined up behind them. You pick up bread with tongs; each tray has its own pair in a pink pot, and a small sign asks you to put the tongs back in the same place after using them. Every tray has a price card in front of it. There is also a glass fridge with drinks and a few cakes and rolls.
Salt bread is clearly the focus. There were several trays of it in different versions: plain, chocolate, and a row of filled or topped ones such as sausage, olive, cheese, egg and curry. I could read these prices on the cards and signs:
| Bread | Korean | Price (won) |
|---|---|---|
| Plain salt bread | 소금빵 | 1,800 |
| Chocolate salt bread | 초코 소금빵 | 1,800 |
| Filled and topped salt breads (sausage, olive, cheese, egg, curry) | 소시지·올리브·치즈·계란·카레 소금빵 | 2,500 each |
| Cheese butter salt bread | 치즈버터소금빵 | 3,800 |
| Churros | 츄러스 | 1,500 |
| Basil loaf | 바질식빵 | 4,500 |
DiningCode’s menu for the bakery lists more than the counter showed us that day, including a herb salt bread (1,800 won), a salt bread with potato salad (3,500 won), a mocha bun (2,800 won), croissants (3,500 won), milk loaf (4,500 won), olive loaf (5,000 won), a vegetable salad bread (4,500 won), sponge cakes (5,400 to 7,500 won), and rice roll cakes at 8,900 won that are described as made with rice and no wheat flour. It also lists a “Sogeumsan cream latte” at 6,500 won.
What we had
We picked a plain salt bread, a pizza bread, a salad bread and some churros and ate them at a table inside, cut up on plates to share between the four of us.
The salad bread was the one we liked: the roll was packed with a generous amount of salad, mixed with ketchup so it tasted a little sweet, and it was the only thing on our plates we would buy again. The rest was not good. The salt bread, the pizza bread and the churros were all disappointing: the bread was dry rather than moist, and none of it had a flavor that stood out. What the bakery does have is a lot of different kinds of bread, but for us that variety was the only thing going for it. If you stop here, the salad bread is the one I would pick. DiningCode lists both a vegetable salad bread (4,500 won) and a salt bread with potato salad (3,500 won), and I am not sure which of the two we had.
Ganhyeon and what is nearby
The better reason to be on this road is the area itself. Ganhyeon-ro leads to the Ganhyeon area of Jijeong-myeon, where Wonju’s Ganhyeon Tourist Area and Sogeumsan Grand Valley are, with the Sogeumsan suspension bridge. If you are visiting the Ganhyeon area or Oak Valley, it is on the way. DiningCode tags it as having a terrace.
Practical notes
- Getting there: 173 Ganhyeon-ro, Jijeong-myeon. We came by car; there were cars parked in front of the building.
- Hours: DiningCode lists 08:00 to 18:30, so it is a daytime stop.
- Ordering: take a tray, pick your bread with the tongs and pay at the counter. The price cards are in Korean only, so the table above may help.
- Salt bread basics: salt bread (sogeumppang) is a small, buttery roll with coarse salt on top.
- Words on the cards: 소금빵 (sogeumppang) is salt bread, 단팥빵 (danpatppang) is a red bean bun, 식빵 (sikppang) is a loaf, 크림빵 (keurimppang) is a cream bun, and 츄러스 is churros. 치즈 (cheese), 초코 (chocolate) and 카레 (curry) in front of 소금빵 tell you the filling or topping.
Only the salad bread
The salad bread is the only thing we would buy again. The salt bread at 1,800 won is cheap, but the rest of what we ate was dry and plain. It works as a stop if you are already in the Ganhyeon area, but I would not make a detour for it. My rating is 3.4 out of 5.
