BreadMap

BreadMap — a crowdsourced map of Korea's neighborhood bakeries, drawn together One star rating for a whole shop tells you nothing. BreadMap answers the question that matters: "how is THIS bakery's salt bread?" — with reviews for each individual bread. Find nearby bakeries on a live map, log the breads you eat, and pick your next stop from verified reviews by fellow bread lovers. Made for • Travelers and expats in Korea hunting for genuinely good local bakeries • Bread enthusiasts who chase one thing — salt bread, croissants, red-bean buns • Anyone who prefers neighborhood bakeries over franchise chains • People who want their bread journey recorded on a map Key features 1. Live bakery map Bakery pins appear on a Naver map, colored and iconed by bread kind. Pick several of 14 kinds at once — salt bread, croissant, bagel, hard bread, cake, tart and more — and jump to your surroundings with the locate button. 2. Per-bread reviews and signature breads Not "this bakery is 4.5" but "their salt bread is 5, the croissant is 3". Every bread gathers its own price, rating, reviews and photos, and the best-reviewed one is marked as the bakery's signature bread. You can edit or delete your reviews anytime. 3. Receipt-verified trust model Add a photo of your receipt and, once the shop name and date check out, your review gets a verified badge. Receipts are never shown to others and are deleted as soon as they are checked. Helpful/unhelpful votes and reporting push genuine reviews up and let promotional noise sink. 4. Contributor grades and follows Registering bakeries, writing reviews, and verified activity raise your contributor grade. Follow trusted reviewers and turn their finds into your next bakery tour. 5. A map everyone draws together Found a bakery that isn't on the map yet? Its location and name are all it takes. Anyone can add the bread they had to a bakery already on the map and review it, and fill in a missing storefront photo. Every entry grows the nationwide bread map. 6. Wishlist and top-rated lists Save bakeries you want to visit and browse the top bakeries and breads to decide where to go today. 7. Your bread map, public or private The bakeries you visit gather on your own bread map. Make it private and others see your reviews as "Private user", without your name or the photos you uploaded. Light and safe • An account is required to get started (Google, Apple, or email) • Your logs, wishlist, follows, and contributor grade stay tied to your account • Uploaded photos are checked automatically to keep inappropriate ones out • You can delete your account from Settings at any time, and your data goes with it Open the map and put your neighborhood's first bakery on it. ※ Bakery data and reviews are community-contributed and may differ from actual store information.
