If you walk through the streets, you'll see many franchise stores. In particular, in the case of bakeries, franchise bakeries account for 70% of all bakeries in the country, so the situation at local bakeries is poor. However, in Gwangju, there are bakeries that are smaller but more popular than franchise bakeries with unique flavors and sincerity. A hidden bread mecca! Here are 9 bakeries in the Gwangju neighborhood.
