[Hongdae] Fuhaha Cream Bread and Bakery Bonggyo

Cream bread is a bread that has been loved by many Koreans since long time ago. These days, you can find special flavours of cream bread in Korea. In this post, we will introduce to you two popular bakery shop in Hongdae where you can try cream bread.


#1 Fuhaha Cream Bread





Fuhaha Cream Bread, located AREX Hongik University Station Exit 3, is a famous cream bread shop. Please take not that it is available only for take-out, so it is not possible to eat it at the store.



When you enter the shop, you will see autographs of celebrities who have visited the shop previously.

There are special cream bread menu such as Matcha green tea cream bread and yogurt cream bread. It is priced from KRW 2,500~2,800.




Puhaha's cream bread is made of French Brioche dough, 100% butter and non-antibiotic eggs. It sells one set that comes with 6 types of cream bread.





We bought Real Strawberry Cream Bread and Salt Cream Bread, both are the best menu of Fuhaha Cream Bread. It comes in a simple yet nice packaging with Fuhaha Cream Bread name printed on it.





The Salt Cream Bread looks like a large morning bread. If you split it into half, you can see that it is filled with thick white whipped cream. The bread is not too thick, so when you bite it with the cream, you can enjoy both taste together.


Although the name of this bread is called "Salt Cream Bread", the cream taste like sweet milk rather than salt. It uses special salt, thus the cream is not greasy but it is fresh instead. When you take a bite, you will go "bwahaha", just like how the name of the shop is (In Korean, it is called "Fuhaha").




Real strawberry cream bread contains small pieces of strawberries in the cream. You can enjoy the soft cream and fresh taste of strawberries together, and it is not greasy. If you want to try soft cream bread that melts in your mouth, come and check out Fuhaha Cream Bread.

You can buy different types of bread such as milk cream bread, scone, cannele, and jam and milk that you can enjoy together with the bread.



Popular menu at this bakery shop is displayed beside the check-out counters. You can find a variety of bread and cookies on the stand next to the door.




We bought the most popular menu of Bakery Bonggyo - milk cream bread and butter bread.  They sprinkled sugar powder on top of the milk cream bread.


Take a bite of the cream bread and the flavor of sweet milk cream fills your mouth. The texture of bread is soft whereas the texture of the cream is watery and not greasy.




Butter bread has a small-sized butter inside the bread. There is a thin layer of salty butter, and the combination of sweet red bean paste with and salty butter taste good. The bread is soft and the outer part is crispy.

For the bread lovers, we recommend you to visit Bakery Bonggyo when you come to Hongdae next time!

Greeting from AREX :)

Out of the plethora of cafes in Korea, I was wondering if I should introduce a truly unique café to you today…
Well, here it is! Hongdae’s Sheep Café, Thanks Nature Café! 😊


The Unique Café: Thanks Nature Cafe

Thanks Nature Café is located in Seoul’s Hongdae neighbor and is home to two sheep that, for about 3 months, were unable to get used to their surroundings in Daegwallyeong. So, they have been brought here for some time to raise their sociability before sending them back to their natural home. Then more sheep will come again for the same purpose.


What Makes Thanks Nature Café Special


While Thanks Nature Café is famous for its sheep, it is all famous for its waffles. There are 10 varieties of waffles to try, including the cuatro waffle, yuja waffle, and the sweet
Further, there is food you can purchase to connect with and feed the pet sheep. Try it out before or after having a bite to eat. 😊

Inside is a warm feeling made by natural wood and grass.  The ceilings are tall, so it doesn’t get stuffy and there are various things fun sheep-related items to make the interior even more fun.
