Hyubaekdam

휴백담 A bakery cafe at the mouth of Baekdam Valley, where salt bread and whole fried chicken go down to the water

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-10-01 · Compiled by Gilpost

Hyubaekdam is a bakery café at 108 Baekdam-ro, right at the mouth of Baekdam Valley in Inje and next to the Baekdamsa car park. It registered in July 2025, runs to about 200 square metres, and holds an annexe and sofa seating behind the main room. The seats that matter face the water through a wall of glass, or sit at the outdoor tables out front. Salt bread is the draw — plain, dried-pollack, garlic, corn-mayo, potato, sweet-bean, bacon-and-potato and castella — and beside it the counter sells whole fried chicken, sausage-and-rice-cake skewers and popcorn chicken, which is what people climbing up out of the valley come for. You order at a kiosk, and buying a drink makes the parking free. The hours move with the season: summer and autumn posts say seven in the morning to seven at night, early-winter ones nine to half past five. The café takes the Inje Tour Pass, which knocks ₩2,000 off an americano. The posts we read run from June 2025 to August 2026, and four of the twenty-four we confirmed were not written by anyone who came here, so they are out of the denominator.

The basics

When it opens

Of 10 posts: 6 wrote 07:00–19:00.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What people order

The most ordered dish is americano (아메리카노) — 9 of 20 posts.

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

What to order

• 옛날치킨 (후라이드)4 ate it
  yetnal chicken

  **A whole fried chicken sold from a bakery counter.** It is what people climbing up from the valley come for, and it says more about this place than anything else on the board. Two writers took it away; one ate it at an outdoor table

  **Nobody records a price.** They record quantities instead: one family phoned at 7:15 in the morning for two birds to collect at eight, added two more in the afternoon and got through **four** (one brother-in-law managed a whole one himself); another party of **seven ate three.** It is mildly spicy, they say, and made for beer — one writer's rule is that you do not leave the valley without it. Another noticed that **the café smells of nothing frying, so it probably comes from elsewhere — crisp all the same.** A third, reading the poster, guessed **you may have to order it by phone rather than at the counter**; no post confirms it

Sides, and what comes with it

• 소떡소떡2 ate it
  sotteok sotteok

  Sausage and rice cake alternating on a skewer — the snack people name for after the water

  One mother bought these and the popcorn chicken for the children, who would be hungry after swimming even if the adults had eaten. Another writer orders the chicken and these together and parks with a clear conscience. **No price recorded**

• 팝콘치킨1 ate it
  popcorn chicken

  Bite-sized fried chicken, from the same snack list as the whole bird and the skewers

  One writer bought it for the children; another copied the poster, which also lists **a spiral-cut potato** nobody has written about eating. No price

• 쌀과자 (값 없이 나오는 것)1 ate it
  ssalgwaja

  A rice cracker handed over with the drink. **Only one post mentions it**

  The writer ordered the corn-cream latte as the signature, liked it, and adds that **the rice cracker that came with it was good too.** **One post in twenty, so we do not know whether it always comes** — a separate writer notes a self-service bar with iced water and syrups

Sweet things

• 소금빵 (기본)5 ate it
  sogeumppang₩3,500

  What the place is known for. One writer counted the varieties on the shelf — **plain, dried-pollack, garlic, corn-mayo, potato, sweet-bean, bacon-and-potato, castella: eight of them.** One post says the fresh ones come out some time after eight in the morning

  One post gives ₩3,500 for the plain one — and is lukewarm about it: it was exactly what you expect, she says, and suggests trying one of the others instead. A writer who got hers straight from the oven describes a crisp shell over a soft inside

• 카스테라 소금빵2 ate it
  castella sogeumppang₩5,000

  A salt bread built around castella sponge — **and the first thing to sell out.** One writer flags it outright

  **Two writers missed it.** One had come specifically for it, arrived early on a rainy day with the valley half-empty, and still found it gone — her advice is to phone ahead and then hurry. The writers who got one call it soft and pleasantly salty. One post gives ₩5,000

• 브라우니 쿠키2 ate it
  brownie cookie

  **The cookie they hand over for a Naver receipt review.** Two writers collected one; two others only note the offer

  One writer eyed the big brownie cookie and passed, finding it too sweet for the morning. **The gift changes between posts** — a brownie cookie in two, an egg tart in one, a meringue cookie in another. Nothing says what decides it

• 베이컨 감자 소금빵2 ate it
  bacon potato sogeumppang₩5,000

  Salt bread with bacon and potato in it; two posts put it at ₩5,000

  One writer packed it for a friend and ate it herself — the salt of the bacon against the potato won her over. The same post is lukewarm about the plain version and points readers here instead

• 수제 꽈배기2 ate it
  kkwabaegi₩3,000

  Hand-twisted and fried on the premises: **₩3,000 for two, and they ask whether you want them sugared**

  One writer ordered it with an iced americano because the twists and the glutinous-rice doughnuts beside them were obviously handmade — chewy, nutty, and she was glad she chose it. Those **rice doughnuts** sit in the same case; nobody has written about eating one

• 소금 단팥빵1 ate it
  sogeum danpatppang

  The sweet-bean one; a writer who copied the shelf labels lists it as "salt-bean"

  One writer names it her favourite of the lot — sweet bean inside, salt outside, and best straight from the oven. No price

• 황태 소금빵1 ate it
  hwangtae sogeumppang

  **Salt bread with dried pollack in it** — Yongdae-ri, the village below Baekdamsa, is known for drying pollack, and one writer ordered it precisely because she had never seen it anywhere else

  **And that writer was unmoved**: it turned out to be salt bread with pollack in it, and once was enough. She liked the castella one. No price anywhere

• 에그타르트1 ate it
  egg tart

  Egg tart; one writer received hers as the receipt-review gift

  One writer got hers warm from the oven and liked it. Another lists it with the castella salt bread among the things she did not get — **both seem to go early.** No price recorded

To drink

• 아메리카노9 ate it
  americano₩5,000

  The most-ordered thing here. Three posts give ₩5,000, unchanged from July 2025 to July 2026

  **Four writers took ₩2,000 off with the Inje Tour Pass** — all four were writing about the pass, two of them declaring it sponsored. On the price itself they split: one thinks the iced americano dear but forgives it as a tourist spot; another finds it reasonable for one. Two describe the beans as low in acidity and nutty, good against a sugared twist

• 옥수수크림라떼2 ate it
  oksusu cream latte

  **Two writers name it the house signature**: a latte under a cap of sweetcorn cream, made with the corn the province is known for

  Two writers describe it almost identically — corn-flavoured, sweet but not the sugar hit of an einspänner, with a nuttiness under it. One suggests one person in a group order it. A third praises a **"handmade cream latte,"** and **we could not confirm** whether that is this drink. No price

• 스무디1 ate it
  smoothie

  Smoothies; one writer notes a long list of them, the kind children go for

  One writer says only that it was cold and good. No price. Another mentions a separate children's drinks list

• 레모나 레모네이드1 ate it
  lemona lemonade₩6,500

  Lemonade — **with the ice itself frozen from lemon**, according to the one writer who ordered it

  The one writer says it stayed sharp to the last sip because the ice never watered it down. ₩6,500 — **the dearest figure anyone records here**, which matches another writer's note that anything other than the americano runs six or seven thousand

Parking

7 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

What this café is first used for is parking at Baekdam Valley. One writer found almost every lot around the valley full by Saturday afternoon in high season — which is why "free parking with a drink" appears in seven of the posts. Five cars fit out front, and two writers note plenty more space behind the building. One built a comparison table: the temple lot charges ₩3,000 for three hours, ₩1,000 an hour after that, up to ₩8,000 a day; the pollack restaurant across the road is free if you eat there; Hyubaekdam is free if you buy so much as a coffee. One writer counts herself lucky to have found a space out front and bought a drink to keep it; another's advice is to set the navigation to this café and park however you can. It is also, as one post puts it, the nearest café to the path down into the water.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

No one wrote about the floor or the steps. The address ends in "1F," but that string comes from the business register and the check-in widget, not from anyone's eyes — and in twenty posts nobody records whether the door sits level with the ground or how many steps there are. The inside does get described: more seating further back, a group table, soft sofa seats, and an annexe that one writer credits for there always being room. Whether that annexe is on the same level, and whether anything steps up on the way to it, is not written down. Nor is whether there is a lip between the outdoor tables and the hall.

Nobody looked at whether a wheelchair or a stroller can get in. Across twenty posts the words wheelchair, stroller, ramp, step, threshold and step-free never appear. Three writers came with children and six with family, which makes the gap sharper — and still nobody describes pushing a stroller through the door. The toilet has been seen, at least: one writer notes it is inside and clean; another that it is split by sex, a single stall each, with a bidet, and clean. Whether that one stall would take a wheelchair, no one says. Two writers changed out of their swimming clothes in there, so there is room to stand and dress — and that is the whole of what we know.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 24 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• The hours move with the season, and none of the figures on record holds all year. Six summer and autumn posts say seven in the morning to seven at night; two from November and December say nine to half past five. The December one adds a Monday-and-Tuesday closing, where the November one, a month earlier, had said every day — so a winter closing day appears to exist, but nothing in the posts says when it starts. A July 2026 post splits the week differently again: half seven to six Monday to Thursday, seven to eight Friday to Sunday. A July 2025 post gives eight to six, seven to six at weekends. If you are going in winter, or on a Monday or Tuesday, phone first — the number is on this page.
• Only six prices exist in the record, and the busiest items are not among them. Americano ₩5,000, lemonade ₩6,500, plain salt bread ₩3,500, the castella and the bacon-potato ones ₩5,000 each, a pair of twists ₩3,000. The whole fried chicken, the skewers, the popcorn chicken, the spiral potato, the corn-cream latte and the smoothies all have writers who ate them and nobody who recorded what they cost — four people ate the chicken, one of them four birds' worth. Whether it is dear is also disputed. Two think so and forgive it as a tourist spot, one of them noting that anything but the americano runs six or seven thousand. A third calls the prices reasonable for where it is.
• Four of the posts came out of one sponsored run for the Inje Tour Pass. Between October and November 2025, four writers all introduced the pass and all recorded the same line — ₩2,000 off an americano at Hyubaekdam — and two of them tagged the post as sponsored at the end. The other two say nothing, but the template is identical. One of the four is out of the denominator. Its text still carries the instructions it was built from — a note that the benefit figures are examples and can be edited, and a placeholder reading "the café's address near Hyubaekdam, or an imaginary one" — and it treats Hyubaekdam as a tourist attraction rather than a café. A second is out too: four cafés in bullet points, with nothing in our section about what was ordered or what it cost. The two we kept did go and did drink the coffee, so we count them, and we mark them sponsored.
• Nobody wrote down how to get here without a car. Two of the twenty say outright that they drove, and the seven posts about parking all assume a car. Bus, taxi, train: not one mention. One writer does set out the Baekdamsa shuttle in detail — ₩2,500 one way for an adult, first bus at seven in the morning between late July and the end of September — but that bus climbs the seven kilometres from the car park up to the temple; it does not bring you here. She reached this café the other way round, stepping off the shuttle at the car park. One post puts it at two and a half hours by car from Seoul, another at five and a half on a holiday weekend. Whether you can arrive on foot we do not know — no writer names the nearest station or stop, or how you would cover the distance from it.
