Cheonan's Toujours Bread Village: Parking & Top Treats

If I had to choose just one bakery in Cheonan,

I'd definitely recommend **Tous Les Jours Ppandolgamamgeul** first.

It's not just about buying famous bread;

there's also the **fun of exploring the bread village itself, with its many buildings,**

and parking is relatively easy,

making it a great addition to any Cheonan travel itinerary.

After moving to Sejong City,

my husband and I have been exploring nearby cities one by one.

I'd seen Tous Les Jours pizza on YouTube and was curious about its taste,

plus, it wasn't just an ordinary Cheonan bakery;

the way it was designed like a village also appealed to me,

so we decided to visit.

Weekend Parking: Easier Than Expected

From our home, it took about an hour by car,

and **since we visited on a weekend, there were a lot of cars.**

At first, I thought parking would take ages,

but there were attendants from the entrance of Ppandolgamamgeul,

and the parking areas were divided into several sections further inside,

so we were able to park more smoothly than I expected.

The first thought that came to mind after parking was,

**'This isn't just a bakery, it's like a real little village~'**

There were lots of trees and greenery,

and the buildings were separated from each other,

giving it the feel of a **small European rural village**

**mixed with a Hobbit village! Haha!**

How to Use the Bread Village Cafe and

What I Tried There

Thanks to parking further inside,

we entered the Bread Village Cafe first.

This is where you can enjoy bakeries, cakes, pizzas, and more

right away.

I was worried about long queues due to the crowd,

but if you had three or fewer items,

there were self-checkout machines that automatically recognized the products,

so checking out was much quicker than I expected.

You could also order drinks directly here,

so if you're not with a large group,

using the self-checkout machines

seemed especially convenient.

The Bread Village Cafe had many tables,

but on weekends, there are just as many visitors.

**So, if you're with a large group, it might be a good idea to**

**check for an empty table before ordering.**

The pizza I was particularly curious about

was ~$5 per slice.

At first, since it was pizza sold at a bakery,

I thought it wouldn't be much different from a pizza bun (pizza bread).

But after trying it myself,

**the dough was thick yet soft,**

**and it had a generous amount of cheese,**

**making it feel more like a regular pizza!**

(Though it wasn't 100% like a pizza either, haha!)

It was a dish I'd been looking forward to after seeing it on YouTube,

and it turned out to be even more delicious than I expected. Haha!

The Dolgama Choux we had together was delicious with a rich vanilla bean flavor,

and the Cheonan Red Bean Latte wasn't overly sweet and had a deep red bean taste, which was great! Haha

Turtle Bread and What to See in Bakery Village

After finishing our bread at Bakery Village Cafe,

we explored the Turtle Bread shop, which looks just like a Hobbit house.

We had to queue here too,

but the line moved surprisingly fast, so we were able to buy the Turtle Bread quickly.

You can think of Turtle Bread as a mocha bun.

The taste was decent, but it didn't feel as special as the pizza or Dolgama Manju.

Around there, there was also an exhibition space where you can see the story of Tous Les Jours,

a place where they cook red beans themselves, and a Cheonan Rice Mill, making it

a great spot for a leisurely stroll and sightseeing.

Besides these, there are wheat field experiences and kids' experiences available, making it seem like a great place to visit with children.

(It seems these programs require advance registration!)

Waiting Time at the Bakery Specialty Hall and

Review of the Breads We Took Home

Finally, we headed to the Tous Les Jours Bakery Specialty Hall

located near the entrance of Bakery Dolgama Village.

The line stretched outside the building, so I expected a long wait,

but the actual waiting time was less than 10 minutes.

It's a system where you pick up bread as you move in one direction,

so it was difficult to grab a bread you had already passed.

It's best to grab any bread you like right when you see it.

Thinking 'If I pass it now, I can't get it!' definitely led to a bit of impulse buying. LOL

Myeongran Salt Bread ~$2

Six-Clove Garlic Bread ~$5

Cheese Ciabatta ~$4

Dolgama Manju ~$2 x 2

Tous Les Jours Baguette ~$3

Here are the items we packed up.

I'm not usually a huge fan of bread, but on this day, I felt completely swept away and bought so much! Haha

Among these, the most memorable was the Stone Oven Manju.

I usually don't really care for manju,

but the red bean paste wasn't overly sweet, so I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It pairs especially well with milk.

On the other hand, the Ttujurru baguette was personally a bit disappointing.

I bought it thinking it was a plain baguette,

but it turned out to be a sweet bread with condensed milk.

It was a case of buying in a bit of a rush and picking the wrong one... haha

(Even though no one was actually chasing me! haha)

As a Bakery in Cheonan,

Would I Recommend Ttujurru Stone Oven Bakery Village?

Before visiting Ttujurru Stone Oven Bakery Village,

I wondered if it was a bakery in Cheonan worth making a special trip for,

but after experiencing it myself, it was definitely a place worth exploring.

More than just a place to buy bread,

it's a whole experience: enjoying treats at the cafe, exploring the village,

and finally, buying bread as if it were a souvenir.

It felt like a complete course, which made it even more enjoyable!

On weekends, it can get quite crowded,

so for those seeking a quiet neighborhood bakery,

it might not be the perfect fit.

However, if you're looking for a Cheonan bakery that offers

a pilgrimage for bread lovers, sights to see,

and a scenic drive all in one,

then it's definitely worth a visit!

If I were to go back,

I'd definitely get the Stone Oven Manju and the pizza again! Haha
