Ugly Bakery
Cafes & bakeries · Mangwon
Rich fillings are the point at Ugly Bakery: cream buns and oversized mammoth breads layer sweet creams with fruit or crunchy pieces. Chocolate versions lean into ganache and dark chocolate, while corn-filled mammoths offer a less familiar flavour to share after a Mangwon browse.

Good to know
Why visit
- Ugly Bakery in Mangwon is a stop for richly filled cream buns and mammoth breads, the large layered Korean bakery sandwiches built around sweet fillings. Choose it when the bread itself is the destination: the fun is comparing cream, fruit and crunchy layers, then taking your selection away.Tistory
Choose a mammoth bread
- In an October 2025 visit, blogger 비어벨 tried Gamdong Choco Mammoth, describing an intensely chocolatey combination of chocolate custard, ganache, chocolate balls and chocolate cream cheese, plus raspberry jam and almonds. Their Corn Mammoth offered a different texture through corn cream, corn and crunchy snack pieces. Both cost KRW 7,000 at that visit. Pick chocolate for a denser dessert direction or corn if you want to explore a less familiar filling combination.Tistory
Choose a cream bun
- The same visitor found Jjin Choco Cream Bread intensely chocolatey, with chocolate cream and dark chocolate. Peach Lover had peach cream with small pieces to bite into, while Sweet Potato Castella Cream Bread brought sweet-potato cream into a soft cake-like bread. These smaller-format choices let you compare flavours without committing your entire stop to one mammoth. The counter also carried spicy green-onion bread and chestnut or sweet-potato cream-cheese sourdoughs for a different direction.Tistory
Know the pace
- This is a counter-and-takeaway bakery visit. 비어벨 described watching the display while waiting, then telling staff which breads to pack. They also noted heavy weekend queues and evening sell-outs. Allow room for alternatives rather than building the visit around one flavour; the reviewer said cream-bun choices and new mammoths change seasonally.Tistory
Practical tip
- Check the bakery’s Instagram lineup before going and consider when you will eat the cream-filled purchase. The October 2025 visitor recorded insulated bags for sale at checkout. Asking about current packing options is more useful than buying several delicate buns at the start of a long sightseeing day.Tistory
