Traditional Korean Bakery

What is Traditional Korean Bakery? Traditional Korean Bakery (operating as Jun Tong Traditional Korean Bakery) is an authentic Korean confectionery and rice cake shop located on Dundas Street West in Etobicoke's Islington Village. Unlike contemporary Westernized bakeries that focus on sponge cakes and cream pastries, this specialty shop is dedicated entirely to customary Korean rice cakes (tteok) prepared daily using traditional wooden steamer boxes and stone pounding techniques.

Traditional Korean Bakery Menu & What to Order The counter showcases neatly packaged varieties of fresh tteok. The Injeolmi—chewy glutinous rice cakes rolled heavily in roasted soybean powder—is a customer essential, offering a nutty, delicately sweet chew. Songpyeon half-moon rice cakes are filled with toasted sesame seeds and brown sugar syrup, while Sirutteok layers steamed red beans and rice flour. For a celebratory gift, pick up boxes of colorful rainbow Baekseolgi or chapssaltteok filled with sweet whole red bean paste.

Know Before You Go Because Korean rice cakes contain no chemical preservatives, they are best enjoyed the same day they are purchased. The bakery opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, closing Sundays. Street parking is available along Dundas Street West.
