I tried a blueberry smoothie, mango croissant, chestnut-paste pastry, and chocolate shot after exploring its roomy seating and rooftop. Verdict: a lovely pick for views and a wide bread selection in western Busan or Yangsan. ## Good to know - **Address**: 83 Yangsan-daero, Dong-myeon, Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea (경남 양산시 동면 양산대로 83 초이) - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–21:50 - **Last order**: 21:20 - **Accessibility & amenities**: Wheelchair accessible; high chairs and takeout available; pets not allowed - **Parking**: Dedicated parking areas in front of and behind the café *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## A large bakery café near Hopo Station Choi Main Branch (초이 본점), a café in Yangsan, is near Hopo Station, so I think lots of people from Buk-gu in Busan as well as Yangsan come here. It looked like everyone had a meal nearby before stopping in haha. I’d been curious about Choi Main Branch, this huge building of a bakery café, every time I passed by—and I finally came!! ![Choi Main Branch visitor information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-01-7mfnf-900.webp) ![Choi Main Branch building near Hopo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-02-125vx-900.webp) You can park in front of the café, and there is also a dedicated parking area behind it. Since it’s such a large café, I think they made the parking lot nice and big. So I don’t think you need to worry too much about parking!! ![Parking area at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-03-1qmts-900.webp) It even has a Blue Ribbon award…!! I was so excited—my heart was racing!! ![Blue Ribbon information at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-04-1lki5-900.webp) ## First-floor bakery and brunch menu The first floor is where you order bakery items and coffee. Even though it was an awkward time on a rainy weekday, there were lots of customers, so I couldn’t take many photos of the interior haha. ![First-floor ordering area at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-05-1rlgj-900.webp) The café’s signature items are mainly pastry-based breads such as croissants, Choi bread, and Haereul Pumeun Dal (The Moon Embracing the Sun). ![Pastries including croissants and Choi bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-06-1gyrr-900.webp) They were selling macarons too, and oh my gosh…!! They also had cakes I love. The fig cake looked so pretty and delicious that I agonized over it for ages ㅠㅜ!! But I already had cake at home, so this little one will be for next time…!! ![Desserts including fig cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-07-1vtav-900.webp) They also had all kinds of breads, including chocolate-loaded bread and glutinous-rice castella 🥹💗 Is this heaven… ![Chocolate-loaded bread and glutinous-rice castella](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-08-1fy9e-900.webp) ![Display area with assorted bakery items](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-09-a1m0f-900.webp) There were also brunch-focused sandwiches, burgers, and salads, so I think it would be a great place to come for lunch too. ![Sandwich and burger brunch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-10-1t9m8-900.webp) ![Brunch menu including salads](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-11-13dyj-900.webp) ![Menu items suitable for lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-12-uzp7k-900.webp) ![Choi Main Branch brunch menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-13-11873-900.webp) There were plenty of familiar breads too, including pound cake, ang butter salt bread, and pizza bread. ![Pound cake and ang butter salt bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-14-1phh4-900.webp) The salt bread loaf that caught my eye…! It was so cute and looked delicious 🤤💦 ![Salt bread loaf bakery item](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-15-1x1w2-900.webp) ![Display of baked treats for gifts](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-16-rgvp2-900.webp) They also sold baked treats that would make great gifts. There was so much to choose from that I spent more than 20 minutes deciding 🤤💦 Come home with me, all of you…!! ![Croissants and Haereul Pumeun Dal pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-17-18zuf-900.webp) Of course, the undisputed number-one menu item: croissants!! They looked so beautiful and huge that I knew I had to try one. And Haereul Pumeun Dal (The Moon Embracing the Sun)!! It looked so pretty that I think it would be perfect as a gift. Chuseok is coming up, so I’ve been wondering what small gifts to give people around me… and this Haereul Pumeun Dal from Café Choi is on my gift list too haha. That’s how unique and pretty it looks. After much deliberation, I bought drinks and bakery items and headed up to the second floor!! ## Spacious second-floor seating and a rooftop Here’s the second-floor interior. ![Second-floor seating at Choi Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-18-1ejmp-900.webp) ![Spaciously arranged second-floor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-19-8oj3z-900.webp) Everything felt open and airy, and the generous space between seats was so nice. Most of all, chairs at large cafés can often be uncomfortable, but these soft sofa-style seats were great for lingering a long time haha. ![Café seating with sofa-style chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-20-15bza-900.webp) There was also a lovely room with an elegant chandelier that would be great for gatherings! I think it would be nice for a get-together or for coming as a group. There were also tiered tables where you could enjoy the view through the windows together. It would be lovely to sit there at sunset or on a nice day!! Unfortunately, I visited when torrential rain was pouring down… so no one was really sitting over there haha. And the highlight of a large café!! I went up to look at the rooftop too! They even thoughtfully had umbrellas available haha. Sadly, because of the rain, I couldn’t stay and look around for long, but the open view really made my chest feel clear and refreshed. With such a nice view, it was so lovely to relax and recharge at the café haha. ![Open view from the rooftop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-21-1g6rg-1200.webp) ## Blueberry smoothie and pastry tasting When I came back from looking around the café, my partner had already set out our drinks and bakery treats haha. The coffee was nutty, a classic iced Americano! And the blueberry smoothie was reaaally delicious haha. It wasn’t a cheap syrupy blueberry drink—it tasted like a delicious smoothie made by blending real blueberries. Everyone, please try the blueberry smoothie! I highly recommend it!! ![Blueberry smoothie and bakery spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-22-v5fl7-900.webp) The mango croissant I ordered had delicious mango flesh, and the sweet cream and mango were an absolutely dreamy combination. The croissant was crisp outside and soft inside from the cream, so I think little kids would really like it too. ![Croissant topped with mango flesh and cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-23-1tjy7-900.webp) The bow-tie-shaped pastry had chestnut paste inside, so it was sweet and soft with a wonderfully crisp exterior haha. I recommend it to anyone who loves chestnuts! ![Chestnut-paste pastry and chocolate shot](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe-24-nh78u-900.webp) This menu item is called the chocolate shot. It was a unique treat wrapped in pastry with a brownie inside, then topped with ganache…!! I thought it would be overwhelmingly sweet, but the brownie inside was rich dark chocolate, so it was rich and sweet in a really satisfying way haha. I recommend it to anyone who likes dense chocolate! My partner and I came to the café after having gukbap (rice soup), so I didn’t think we’d be able to finish everything—but all the breads were delicious, and we ate until we were bursting haha. The view is great and the café food is delicious too, so I recommend it to anyone looking for a large café in western Busan or Yangsan!! ## Where it is - Choi Main Branch (초이 본점) - 83 Yangsan-daero, Dong-myeon, Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea (경남 양산시 동면 양산대로 83 초이) - 경상남도 양산시 동면 양산대로 83 초이 - 35.2829313, 129.0162942 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%88%EC%9D%B4%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.2829313,129.0162942,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cup-diary/yangsan-choi-bakery-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
