You can learn how to make bread from scratch, and even cook Cheonan red beans as a filling for your bread.

At the bakery, Cheonan rice is milled by hand every day to ensure the freshness of their products. 

The rice is used to make flour for their bread and rice cakes, both of which Tous Jours Dolgama is well-known for.

The flour used for making bread is also homemade, and it explains why many visitors come to Cheonan for a taste of their fluffy baked goods.

The bakery also has a greenhouse with a herb garden, where you can spend your time familiarising yourself the different types of herbs grown. 

Some of these herbs are even used in the making of drinks and bread in the bakery, such as lemongrass and mint.

There are 2 cafes in the bakery, and one of them is a firewood kiln cafe where the baked goods are baked mainly with a firewood kiln. 

Even though the cafes are spacious, they are usually busy and crowded on the weekends, so we recommend visiting during weekdays.
