Easily one of the better salt breads I've had! What really sets Salt Bread Ko apart is the texture. The exterior has this delicate, satisfying crisp, while the inside is incredibly buttery, soft, and pillowy. That gentle crunch paired with the fluffy interior makes every bite feel so luxurious! I tried the Milk, Nutella, and Pandan Coconut flavors. The fillings were fun and delicious, although I personally found the cream a little too sweet and ended up wiping some of it off (still so yummy). I think I actually might prefer the original salt bread without any fillings, simply because the pastry itself is already so good! Service was very fast. There's 2 ordering kiosks. I like that they put each salt bread separately in their own containers. There's not much room inside the little store for waiting. These pair beautifully with a cup of coffee, especially to balance out the richness and sweetness. Overall, definitely one of my favorite salt bread experiences so far, and I'd happily come back just for that buttery, crispy, pillowy texture!
The interior of this little salt bread shop in K-town is tiny, with no space for seating inside and touchscreen ordering only. There's little space for a line inside, so it can extend out the door and onto the sidewalk, but the process does move quickly. There are a few tables and chairs outside. We ordered the two salt breads + one spread (truffle) and one savory sandwich each (me: heirloom baby tomato, him: egg sando). The bread is so good on its own; definitely try a bite or two without the spread to fully appreciate its soft, buttery interior and super crunchy butter-salt crust bottom. The truffle butter spread is delicious and has a strong truffle flavor-- a little goes a long way! Take the leftovers home to use later. I was so pleased with my choice of specialty sandwich. The tomatoes were so incredibly fresh, like straight-from-a-garden fresh. So were the chives in the savory, cream cheese-like spread. Combined with the perfect bread, it was an honestly perfect sandwich. I also got a matcha latte, which was decent.
I've had salt bread in Korea before and remember not being super impressed, but my friend loves Salt Bread Ko, so we visited while waiting for a concert at MSG. The store itself is not awfully big, but I think they did as much as they could to make it look cute and polished enough to want to stick around sitting on the window sill. The pastry cases showcase some of the cream dips that are available. My friend loves just the salt bread itself, so we ordered a set of three plain salt bread. It's a little bit pricey, but each piece of bread was pretty sizeable, right around the size of a Costco croissant. The shape was really cute and Instagrammable too. Because it was hot and fresh out the oven, the buttery smell hit me right away. The dough is pillowy and soft but with a pleasant crunch on the crust. The whole bread is very buttery, and I realized that the salt breads I had in Korea were usually smaller and had less depth in the butter fragrance, though my hand would be greasy after having a salt bread. Salt Bread Ko salt bread was also quite buttery but didn't feel overly greasy. It was a little saltier than I expected, and I found the extra salinity didn't enhance the butter flavor. But the bread was still quite nice warm and not too sweet. Overall, I do think the plain is the way to go, though if you're looking for a sweet dessert, the creams all looked quite nice.
I'm having trouble putting the full extent of my enjoyment of Salt Bread Ko into words here. We stumbled upon this location while walking one day, and were suddenly struck by the most incredible smell, freshly baked bread wafting down the entire block. We immediately knew we had to stop in, and I'm SO glad that we did. Their loaves are the perfect combination of sweet and salty, almost a combination of a croissant and a fantastic dinner roll. They are so buttery, flaky, and baked fresh all day. I'm very happy to report that I got a whole office of people hooked on this, including plenty of skeptics. I absolutely can't wait to come back, and I'm so jealous of anyone that lives close-by! The order system is completely kiosk based, which I didn't mind as our order, though large, came out in under 15 minutes. We ordered one of their sampler boxes, two caviar rolls, and egg salad, and the blueberry Yuzu - literally every single item was so delicious, but I think the plain roll might have been my favorite. It holds its own, which is very impressive. They were also fairly reasonably priced at about $7 per roll, with the exception of the caviar at $23.
Extremely fresh breads. Warm with a light crust and fluffy interior. Crisp bottom with just the right amount of salt. I did not think I was going to enjoy the breads as much as I did. They are as the hype claims. Line never lessened as we waited but it moved quickly. Seating is extremely limited so don't even expect it. Staff was courteous.
Good combo for a summer afternoon. Grease so please finished off in no time , if you are feeling fancy you could get some caviar but I am on budget so I get the free spread ( the everything spread) i think that tasted like caviar for a hot second. O the matcha latte you could order to wash down the butter. Overall, that day I would like to gain some weight.
TOO GOOD! I recently tried salt bread in Seoul and this is the real deal! I'm surprised this place didn't have a line out the door!? They have a lot of different flavor combinations here but honestly you can't go wrong with the plain/original. Super buttery crispy bottom that doesn't need anything imo. I got it with the chili oil butter which was really good though (ended up saving that to use on something else) Will be back!!
I LOVE salt bread and salt bread ko does not disappoint!! My friend liked the cream salt bread a lot but I am a softy for the original salt bread. It is crispy on the outside (especially the bottom you can hear the satisfying crunch!) and super soft and buttery inside. So good when it's fresh and warm. The heirlook tomato saltbread is also pretty good. But my true love will always be the regular salt bread. Out of all the dips, my favorite is hands down the truffle. It is a little pricier but it is so worth it. Not a big fan of the garlic one. The spicy one is ok. The line can seem intimidating but they are pretty efficient and get to you shortly soon after you order on the kiosk. Very little sitting room in and outside so be ready to take to go if needed.
Lovely lovely cafe in ktown selling great pastries and refreshing drinks. My bf and I tried their new strawberry matcha latte which had the right amount of sweetness. Their salt breads were spot on so tasty and the dips were so addictive to try. Staff was also super nice and knowledgeable on the food and highly recommend checking this out :)
Finally came here after hearing all the good things about this place. The menu is quite simple with a few salt bread options and drinks to choose from. The store is definitely tiny and it's meant for take-out. There is a ledge by the window inside that you could sit at but with all the foot traffic, it's not enjoyable for you or the other customers. When you enter, there's a couple of kiosks that you order from. Then they'll call you when your order is ready. I got the pandan coconut one and it was very good. There was a good ratio of filling to bread and it was not too sweet or dense. The bread was soft and fluffy and the slight salty flavor balanced out the sweetness. It is a bit on the pricey side in my opinion so this would be an occasional treat for myself.
Tldr: worth it if you come across a fresh batch Spontaneously decided to come here while I was in K-Town. It was 6pm on a Saturday, and there was a dozen people standing around when I arrived. Turns out they weren't allowed to order yet because a new batch of bread isn't ready yet. Luckily a new batch was ready in less than 10 minutes after I arrived. They started letting us put in our orders while the bread was cooling but gave a heads up that if we want fillings, it would take longer since they had to cool more. I only ordered 3 plain salt bread, so I was able to get my breads very quickly. I heard how they bake fresh batches regularly, but I didn't expect them to have a new batch less than an hour before they closed. Then again seeing how they have a queue at that hour means it wouldn't be a concern. I was still surprised to stumble into a new batch. When I got my bread, it was steaming hot from the bag. I struggled to hold on to it with the napkin provided. Omg it is the fluffiest bread I've ever had. I think this might be the freshest bread I've ever had out of an oven (steaming hot steamed buns are a different story). It was obviously oily from the butter, but that didn't bother me even though it normally would. The salt is obvious both from the outside and the inside which is also slightly saltier than I normally like. I like how the outside has a sturdy, not crunchy but obvious dry shell on the outside. Overall it tastes like a more decadent version of dinner bread rolls. I don't like the way they only let you buy plain breads at a minimum of 3 or 2 with a spread. I don't want any spreads, nor do I want to eat three breads at once. I was in a rush so only had time to eat one while fresh. I think I could eat 2 if I'm hungry but 3 would be too heavy. The butter heaviness and oiliness is less appealing when cold. I think it was the right choice to not get any spreads since the appeal here is the fluffiness, freshness, and richness. Spreads and fillings would force us to wait for the bread to cool down. Also the butter and salt is strong enough that additional flavors would be too much. If must, I guess choose something sweet. I'd rather they upcharge me to $5 or something to buy just one. Then again I don't like how it's that expensive for such a plain roll lol... I guess by forcing people to buy multiple they can ensure that batches can sell out and therefore bake regularly to provide that that appealing fresh baked goodness.
I was so ready for this to by hype but it was downright delicious. I got the sampler box and was going to save some for the next day polished it all off. I have never had bread so well balanced before, with fluffy sweet insides and savory, crispy outsides (but not too crispy, ya know!). The bacon kimchi spread was my fave, the perfect balance of bacon/kimchi.
One of the best things ever- I kept seeing it online and missed the cut off the first time I tried to go. It's safe to say this lives up to the hype The chili butter is sooo good- I can only imagine what the truffle one tastes like. I didn't expect the tomato salt bread to taste as delicious as it did. It comes with scallion butter and complements the tomato so well! The plain salt bread is also good, buttery, and light. Earl grey was good but the filling isn't as extraordinary as some of the other pairings. i'd love to try the pandan coconut one
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the exceptional bread texture, freshly baked batches, and a variety of spreads.

Tried Salt Bread Ko for the first time and absolutely loved this spot! The salt bread is so crispy on the bottom and soft and savory on top. The texture was amazing and pairs so well with the spreads. I got the guava (seasonal flavor) which was so fragrant and fresh as well as the kimchi bacon which is perfect for the savory peeps out there. The bread is baked fresh every 30min and the staff were all so friendly. The heirloom tomato bread tasted SO FRESH and came with the green onion spread inside, making it super refreshing. This spot is great for a delicious and quick pick me up or even if you want a quick Matcha Latte! I highly recommend and would definitely be back read more
The salt bread is so good and fresh. It's warm. Tastes so good with the guava jam, which is a separate add-on purchase. It's not too salty or oily either. There was only a short line during mid-afternoon snack time. There are 2 kiosks to order from. I got the combo of 2 salt breads with 1 iced soy milk. There is a ledge bench to sit and eat. No tables or chairs. read more

The salt bread really reminded me of the saltbread I had in Korea! I loved the range of flavors that they had to offer especially the combination of sweet and salty ~ Only thing I will say is that it is super buttery which is great but can also get heavy if you eat too much! read more

Located on 32nd St, bet 5th Ave and Madison Ave. Small place, had to wait outside when there was a very short line inside. One bench inside. Posted menu was small, but I ordered via the kiosk which showed more options. Got the summer peach- bread was soft, slightly sweet with hint of salt; and the filling with thin slices of peach was really good, and not too sweet. Made to order and was quick, and packaged in a sturdy container so can travel with it (but I think it's best to eat it soon.) read more

Best salt bread in NYC, literally better than what I had in Korea. The spreads and sweet ones are good too, but you literally just need to get the classic and it's so good. Coffee was surprisingly good too (better than a lot of cafes) considering it's not a coffee shop! read more
Came the taste the salt bread and it was delicious! The texture was a little like a kolache with a distinct saltiness. Also had the soy milk with it and although it was refreshing, most of it was ice. Had a bite of the tomatoes and cream cheese salt bread - it was refreshing and good. Nice for a quick stop. There's a window sill seat for about 2-3 people and a bar you can lean on. Definitely a takeaway bakery. read more

Very good, some of the best salt bread I've had. Fast service too, would highly recommend to anyone stopping by NYC. read more
Back to Salt Bread Ko after two months and saw they've got some changes since the opening. Instead of hourly drops, they now bake their salt bread fresh in small batches every 30 minutes. The prices also went up: from $10 to $12 for 2 Salt Bread plus a spread, and from $12 to $14 for 3 Salt Bread. I had to wait for a bit for their new batch, so mine was still warm every time I get it. I also just noticed they use Isigny Sainte-Mère butter (a premium french butter I actually use at home!) which makes the bread extra rich with a touch of mineral sea salt. ＊Uji Matcha Salt Bread $6.50 * I was genuinely blown away by this one. This is the least sweet flavor out of all their sweet salt bread I've tried, with a slight bitterness from the rich matcha whipped cream. They were generous with the filling too, as there was matcha cream throughout the entire bread! ＊Strawberry White Chocolate Ganache Salt Bread $6.50 The strawberry white chocolate ganache was light, fluffy, and reminded me of strawberry yogurt. It's less sweet than the strawberry lychee jam flavor I tried before, and the bottom stayed crispy. ＊OG Salt Bread ** Their salt bread is so plump! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with the perfect butter hole and a crunchy bottom. Tbh I liked it even more on its own than with the spreads. But if you're getting spreads, I'd rank (1) truffle (2) chili crisp (3) pollack roe. 2 salt bread + 1 spread for $12, 3 Salt Bread for $14 read more

Delicious salt bread spot. It's soft and fluffy with a delicious crispy layer on the bottom. Bread is baked daily and served fresh. My personal favorite is the original because it's served warm and the salty flavour is more pronounced. The early gray and black sesame are also delicious and not too sweet. Recommend coming earlier in the day because their flavours sell out by the end of the day! There is limited seating outside. read more
My first time having salt bread... damn is all I got to say. It's soooo good!! I love the spread selections they have available to choose from. Line moves very quickly esp ordering from the kiosk. Store is super small and can get cramped pretty quickly though. read more
You can imagine my excitement when another salt bread bakery opened up in NYC! Salt bread has blown up for a reason, and this spot is doing it right. Everything is baked fresh, with new batches coming out every hour. It's buttery, soft, and pillowy on the inside, with a crispy, golden bottom that makes all the difference. Think of it as a cross between a steamed bun and a croissant. They also offer a great selection of dips and spreads like truffle, garlic knot, and nori sesame oil. There was a long line when I went but luckily it moved pretty fast. I need to come back to try more, especially one of their sweet options. read more

TL;DR: TOO salty, but maybe we got a bad batch Ended up coming by here and waiting for their next batch of salt bread to be done so we could order. You order at a kiosk inside, which they only had 2, and it gets crowded in there with people who are waiting for their order from the previous batch/waiting to order when it's done. The service was great though. They were so friendly and nice. I think they could benefit with crowd control inside. The space is VERY small, and people who got their order would just stand inside, making it difficult for more people to come in and order/people who are waiting for their order to come out. Additionally, I think they could package their breads a bit better. Separately rather than throwing them in the to-go bags. Overall, their salt breads come out nice and hot. FOOD: ~Original salt bread (2/5): I know the name says salt bread, but these were unbearably salty. The spreads I got were also on the salty side so it did not dampen the saltiness much. ~Black Osetra Caviar with Truffle Spread (3/5): I give this a higher rating because, while it is expensive, it comes with a GENEROUS amount of caviar. This was definitely better than the salt bread itself. ~Nutella salt bread (2.5/5): Still salty, but the sweetness from the nutella spread made it a little better. The spread itself was just okay. Overall, I wouldn't wait in a long line for this again. read more
While the line may look long, it's just to order at the two kiosks - so don't be intimidated! You can get their more dessert forward combinations or just a classic 3 for $14. The salt bread was freshly baked and warm, with a toasty bottom, salty top, and cloud like interior - and definitely bigger than other salt breads I've tried. read more

This bakery really got me hooked. Soft, pillowy buttery salt bread with that perfect fresh-baked texture. Simple, warm, and seriously satisfying. The kind of bakery stop that makes you want to come back for another after another. The pastries aside from the original salt bread also come with filled in cream like Earl Grey Chocolate, Strawberry Lychee Jam . They also sell specialty sandwiches like Black Osetra Caviar with truffle spread or scallion spread, Spam Egg & Cheese Sandwich. The spreads in different flavors like Scallion, Garlic Knot, Nori Sesame Oil are fabulous ! They are so rich, creamy with authentic bold flavors. I love them all . Really, you need to check this bakery out. Everything is just exceptional. What I ordered : Pastries : Original Earl Grey Chocolate Pandan Coconut Uji Matcha Spreads : Nori Sesame Oil Truffle Myeongnan (Pollock Roe) Drinks : Iced Matcha Latte read more
Salt Bread Ko is really amazing! The store is located right around k-town and there's usually a line. They tend to sell out really quick within 10-15 mins of opening and make more batches every 30 minutes throughout the day. If you want to grab some on the weekend, make sure to get there early! I tried both the sweet and regular breads and ended up enjoying the regular ones with spreads a lot more as they were super savory. The bread was soft on top but had a nice flaky/buttery bottom with a nice salty kick to it! My favorite spreads of the three I tried was the Scallion followed by Pollock Roe. The Pandan and Strawberry were also great but I felt the sweetness overpowered the flavor of the salt bread just a bit. If you have an air fryer at home, these are perfect to warm at a low temp for a little before serving! read more
We were waiting for our lunch reservation nearby and checked out Salt Bread Ko after seeing the line of people waiting for it to open shortly before noon. We grabbed a pack of 3 + spread to share and while I only had the og salt bread plain it was great warm and pretty buttery. I appreciated that there was a good amount of salt as well for flavor and overall a tasty snack. I didn't try the spread or the sweet/savory combos but they don't have everything available at each hour. Definitely come when a new batch drops for warm bread. read more

A new salt bread place opened recently. It's more of a takeout place. Very limited seating in the restaurant, and a bench outdoor. It has specific time drops (go to the website for the time drops so you can get the fresh out of the oven experience). They still write the time drop schedule on the door but it's easier to go to the website. Yay! I finally timed it with the next freshly baked drop was available. 10 minutes before the bread was baked/cooled down, the employees tells you to put your order in via the kiosks. There is an order limit of 3 breads per person. The savory/salted ones were ready quicker since it didn't need extra preparation. The sweet ones took a bit longer since the employee had to cut the bread open, wait for the bread to cool before piping the cream into the bread. It tasted better freshly baked so enjoy! read more

Easily the best salt bread I've had so far. I ordered the Pandan coconut and its one of the best salt bread ive had. Great balance of salty and sweet. The pandan filling was not overly sweet and the pandan flavor did not overpower the bread. But the best part was the almost brulee like crust on the bottom. It was totally unexpected but it provided an extremely satisfying crunch to the bite. read more
Warm, soft, and chewy salted bread with crispy edges~ it's what dreams are made of. Ordering and payment are completely through the kiosk, wait time for order wasn't too long. Got the Pandan Coconut cream salt bread~tasted so delicious. The combination of buttery salty bread and the sweet cream filling; takes buns/breads to a whole new level. Also, got the iced Matcha Latte, which tasted okay. The star of the show is still this warm salted bun~loved it! thinking of joining their loyalty program to add some more yummy deals. read more
