Quick Glance: Popular Affordable Bakeries in Seoul
  • Freshly baked goods like bread, cake, and pastries are increasingly available at an affordable price of 1,000 won ($0.73) at vendor stalls and stores in subway stations in Seoul as living costs rise.

  • The emergence of 1,000-won bakeries reflects the current frugal mindset of many households facing tight budgets due to ongoing inflation.

  • Despite price hikes in baking ingredients such as flour, butter, margarine, eggs, salt, and sugar, the question arises on how such a wide selection can be offered at a low price.
