The Dream Bread: A Hidden Gem in Cheonan
With honest ingredients and fair prices,
this is a place that touches the heart.
Located at 378-2, Daga-dong, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do.
Hello! Today, I would like to introduce a local bakery that has gained a reputation among residents for those traveling to Cheonan, the city of bread. It's not a flashy large bakery, but The Dream Bread is a place that impresses with its honest ingredients and fair prices.
Cheonan is famous for its many bakeries, so much so that there's a term called 'bread pilgrimage.' Among them, The Dream Bread is known for its incredible value, offering not just low prices but also delicious and easily digestible options. The storefront, with its sign reading 'The Dream Bread,' radiates a warm light through its glass windows. A message at the entrance states that they do not use chemical ingredients and make their own fermentation and yogurt starters, ensuring comfort for the stomach. You can feel the honest philosophy that sets this place apart from franchises, which made me excited to enter.
The first thing that caught my eye was the price list. Can you believe these prices in today's economy?
Red bean bread, crumble bread, and cream puffs are just 1,500 won each. Castella is 1,900 won, and even a 2-tier fresh cream cake is only 25,000 won! It's clear why this is considered a fair-priced establishment.
The display shelves are filled with mouthwatering breads. From long sausage pizza bread (4,500 won) to large sausage pizza bread (2,500 won), there are affordable options that kids would love. It was impressive that the low prices did not compromise the size or quality of the ingredients. You can also get mocha pound cake and pumpkin castella for just 2,500 won.
One standout item was the garlic bread. Just looking at the basket piled high with it makes your mouth water. Priced at 2,000 won per bag, it's easy to grab without hesitation. Plus, you can sample it before buying, which is a great way to decide if you want to purchase it. The crispy and sweet garlic aroma practically jumps out at you!
This bakery has been designated as a fair-priced establishment by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Cheonan City, and it also practices sharing for the local low-income community. You can really feel the owner's warm heart here.
Inside the showcase, there are mini cakes and roll cakes on display. Here's an important tip! Cakes are made fresh upon order, so if you call 30 minutes in advance, you can receive them in the freshest state. The 2-tier fresh cream cake for 25,000 won seems perfect for celebrations without breaking the bank. Gift roll cakes or mini chocolate cakes are also reasonably priced, making them great for everyday enjoyment.
Chocolate rusks and cheese rusks looked delectable as well. Priced at 4,300 won, the bags were packed full, offering a substantial amount. I tried a sample and thought that the crispy chocolate rusk would pair nicely with coffee or milk.
They also have traditional baguettes for those who prefer a mild taste. The crusty and chewy baguette is just 3,000 won, a rare find at such a fair price these days, making it suitable for sandwiches or tapas.
A cute tree-shaped brownie also caught my eye. In the bread section, there are basic breads like grain bread and milk bread neatly arranged. Using natural fermentation starters ensures good digestion, making them perfect for breakfast.
There are tables set up in one corner of the store where you can enjoy your freshly baked bread with a cup of coffee or tea, adding to the charm of a bread pilgrimage in Cheonan.
After purchasing a large ciabatta, salt bread, and a mammoth bread (not pictured), my total was under 10,000 won. In today's market, grabbing just a few breads can easily exceed 20,000 won, making this place truly deserving of its reputation as a fair-priced shop. Every bread was delicious, allowing me to enjoy tasty bites throughout my journey.
If you're planning a trip to Cheonan or love bread, be sure to stop by The Dream Bread. You will not only appreciate the low prices but also feel the warm heart of the owner in the honest bread made with quality ingredients.
