5 Seoul salt bread bakeries locals love (not just the viral ones)

Everyone knows the famous salt bread spots with crazy lines, but these are some local favorites worth checking out too: 🥐 Milomil (@milomil_), Mangwon 9 Huiujeong-ro 10-gil, Mapo-gu Has both soft and chewy styles. Must try: the mocha butter bread, a salt bread and mocha bun hybrid. Mostly sold out by 1–2pm. 🥐 @life_bread__, Seocho 19 Seocho-daero 34-gil, Seocho-gu Known for melon salt bread, a soft salt bread with a sweet cookie crust on top like a melon pan. 🥐 O’pato (@opato_08am), Haebangchon 4 Sinheung-ro 12-gil, Yongsan-gu Perfectly balanced between crispy and soft. The safe pick everyone ends up liking. 🥐 Butter Hill (@butter.hill), Jung-gu 271 Dongho-ro 17-gil, Jung-gu Light, fluffy, and super buttery. It’s up a hill, but worth the walk. 🥐 @coun_boy, Bangbae 53 Bangbae-ro 27-gil, Seocho-gu For people who think salt bread should taste like pure butter. The bottom is almost fried in butter and super crispy. Which style do you prefer, crispy or soft?
