Lowide Yeouido Brunch Cafe Review: Best Salt Bread in Seoul

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon,

with hot air balloons gently floating

over Yeouido Park,

we visited LOWIDE Yeouido.

LOWIDE started in 2021

as a cafe in Seoul Forest,

and currently operates two locations:

the Apgujeong branch and the Yeouido branch.

Using domestically grown organic flour

and French gourmet butter,

all their bread adheres to the principle of

'made today, sold today' :)

You'll find it on the 1st floor of the One Sentinel building,

right in front of IFC Mall.

It's easy to spot since it's on the corner!

Besides LOWIDE Yeouido,

the One Sentinel building is home to

many restaurants and cafes,

making it a frequent lunch spot for many.

Parking is available!

Spend over ~$7 to get

1 hour of free parking on weekdays, or 2 hours on weekends.

I visited LOWIDE Yeouido

around 1 PM on a Saturday,

and there were so many people enjoying brunch

that all the tables were taken.

You can order simple drinks or bread

at the kiosk, but brunch menu orders

are only available at the counter.

It was quite interesting that you could order

bread at the kiosk.

For regulars, it seems super convenient

to just order quickly at the kiosk and take it to go!

Since it was our first time,

we decided to head to the front first

to browse and choose our bread in person.

We actually met after lunch that day

and just stopped by to buy some bread, but

the brunch menu prices seemed pretty good too,

around ~$13 - ~$15.

What's especially appealing is that the brunch soup menu

comes with one freshly baked Salt Bread for free!

​

LOWIDE merchandise, like coffee beans and tumblers, was also on display, and

​

​

With such high ceilings,

even with a crowd,

the atmosphere was so comfortable!

The natural light streaming in through the cool, expansive windows

created an atmosphere that was truly captivating

at Lowide Yeouido.

In the refrigerator,

there were also simple bowls, sandwiches,

and drink options.

Review of Lowide Yeouido's Salt Bread

"But where is the salt bread?"

As I kept walking forward, wondering,

I finally encountered

the bread section.

Lowide Yeouido is famous for its salt bread,

but their baked goods

also looked delicious.

Nuneddine Butter ~$4

Financier ~$3

Chocolate Crunch Financier ~$3

Salt Bread ~$3

Melon Salt Bread ~$4

Sweet Potato Pain Suisse ~$5

Plain Scone ~$3

They also sell salt bread sets,

which would be perfect for gifts.

My friend, who came with me, bought one

as a gift!

Salt Bread Set ~$12

Cream Salt Bread Set ~$17

After some deliberation, I chose

one Original Salt Bread

and one Chocolate Crunch Financier!

Total Price ~$6

While waiting for my order to be packaged,

I briefly waited at the bar table seating,

and the atmosphere here was so wonderful

that next time I visit,

I'd love to have coffee or brunch here!

Lowide Yeouido.

Evidence of my epic bread shopping trip lol

I took my bread to go

and tried it at home.

For a salt bread, it wasn't too salty

and had a soft texture.

The bread was thick, so the buttery flavor

really came through!

I also took a bite of my friend's Mentaiko Cream Cheese Salt Bread,

and while it was delicious (of course, it's a combination that can't go wrong!),

it wasn't particularly unique.

Personally, I'd recommend the clean,

original salt bread

a bit more! 😉

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll go back

just for the salt bread,

but the atmosphere was so wonderful

that it made me want to revisit Yeouido Lowide

again for coffee or brunch next time.
