Gamjabat (Main) 감자밭 본점
Chuncheon · Soyang Dam & Cheongpyeongsa · Cafe
This cafe in Sinbuk-eup is the origin of a bread shaped and dusted to look like a real potato, which became a popular souvenir across Korea. The cream-filled or plain potato bread is the star, and the shop also serves coffee and drinks with a rustic farm-themed interior. Because supplies are limited, the bread can run out by mid-afternoon, so earlier visits are safer.
It makes a pleasant coffee stop on the road to Soyang Dam. Photos of the potato-shaped bread are popular with visitors. Prices and hours may vary, and queues can build on weekends.
Buying a box to take home is easy, but bread is best eaten the same day.
A city bus from Chuncheon Station toward Soyang Dam takes about 20 minutes to the Sinsaembat-ro stop; the cafe has parking. (Show a driver: 감자밭 본점)
