I visited Ssuk's Choco Pie, a dessert bakery in Gwangjang Market. It's a great spot for gift-packed mugwort desserts from Gwangjang Market! > Ssuk's Choco Pie, a dessert bakery in Gwangjang Market ![Exterior view of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul in Gwangjang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-01-1cu4z-m-1200.webp) Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul 25 Jongno 32-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul Hours Weekdays 11:00 - 18:30 Weekends 10:00 - 19:00 ![Entrance of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul on Jongno 32-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-02-1yrqq-900.webp) ![Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul sign with hours posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-03-qs06m-900.webp) Last time I was in Gwangju, Jeonnam, I saw this being sold as a souvenir. Looks like they've opened a branch in Seoul now! ![Display shelves inside Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-04-1pbf1-m-900.webp) ## Mugwort-only desserts: Korea's first mugwort choco pie, made since 2016 Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul makes all kinds of desserts with mugwort. Apparently this is the place that first made mugwort choco pie back in 2016! It's a famous Gwangju bakery, one of those must-visit bakery pilgrimage spots... ![Sign introducing the brand as the first mugwort choco pie maker since 2016](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-05-6ip2v-900.webp) The whole shop is mugwort, haha. They say they make their desserts healthily using domestically grown mugwort, with no artificial coloring, emulsifiers, margarine, shortening, or preservatives. ![Store display filled with mugwort desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-06-112xq-900.webp) ![Store sign explaining use of domestic mugwort](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-07-p0s3z-900.webp) Mugwort gives off a distinctly Korean feel, and since it's inside Gwangjang Market, a must-visit spot for foreign tourists, I saw a lot of foreign customers buying gift sets. ![Ssuk's Choco Pie gift sets on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-08-1ox9t-900.webp) The mugwort cheesecake looked delicious too! It's the perfect mini size for eating alone. ![Mini mugwort cheesecake perfect for one](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-09-1q0jz-900.webp) ## Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul menu and gift set lineup The best part of this Gwangjang Market dessert bakery is really the variety of gift sets. The 3-piece and 6-piece sets are the signature options, and they were neatly packaged, making them easy to choose. ![3-piece and 6-piece gift set boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-10-1gaif-900.webp) Ssuk's cookies Choco macadamia / sweet pumpkin / sea-breeze mugwort salt Ssuk's scones Domestic soybean tofu / Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort Everything looked healthy, so they were desserts I could eat without any guilt! ![Sign showing Ssuk's cookie and scone varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-11-yzekf-900.webp) Cheesecakes Chocolate cheesecake, mugwort cheesecake Ssuk's Choco Pie Sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean / sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi Gwangju real chocolate / Udo peanut / Nonsan strawberry ![Menu sign showing Ssuk's Choco Pie flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-12-73f6o-900.webp) Given the name Ssuk's Choco Pie, I thought they'd only have choco pies, but they had all kinds of cookies and scones too. The choco pies alone come in so many varieties! There's the Gwangju real choco pie with fresh cream instead of marshmallow, the sea-breeze mugwort choco pie, the nutty injeolmi (sweet rice cake) mugwort choco pie, the can't-go-wrong combo of mugwort and red bean, plus Udo peanut choco pie and Nonsan strawberry choco pie. It's distinctive how they try to use ingredients unique to Korea. ![Display case with several choco pie flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-13-1efc0-900.webp) ## Gift wrapping, free stickers and the receipt review freebie Ssuk's Choco Pie's flagship store is at Gwangju Songjeong Station! Since these packages are great for gift-giving, they'll attach a sticker for free if you ask. ![Gift packaging with sticker attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-14-bpqyb-m-900.webp) ![Green gift box packaging with a mugwort theme](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-15-1b0z0-900.webp) It's great that you can give this as a gift in such a neatly packaged box~ Even the packaging alone radiates mugwort vibes. ![Boxed gift set of Ssuk's Choco Pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-16-lnhof-900.webp) If you write a receipt review, they give you a Ssuk's cookie tasting too, so give it a try!! Turns out this place is a real cookie spot, haha. ![Receipt review event sign and Ssuk's cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-17-5vny8-900.webp) ## What 5 choco pie flavors plus salted mugwort cookies look like boxed up I packed 5 choco pie flavors plus the salted sea-breeze mugwort cookies. They wrapped it up neatly in a green box for me. ![5 choco pie flavors packed in a green box](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-18-i9b8j-900.webp) The 6-piece set is packaged this neatly. It could easily get messed up if you're carrying it around as a gift, but having each piece individually boxed like this is so great. ![6-piece choco pie set packaged in individual boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-19-j42n8-900.webp) Every single one has a distinctive flavor, haha. The sweetness isn't overly strong, so I think it'd make a great gift for parents or older relatives too. ![Individually wrapped mugwort choco pies lined up by flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-20-qpl1k-900.webp) It shows the mugwort choco pie lineup and how to store them. The real chocolate choco pie with fresh cream instead of marshmallow looks so good~ A flavorful dessert made with dough mixed using only fresh cream instead of water! ![Mugwort choco pie lineup and storage instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-21-1dowl-900.webp) ### The best bite: salted sea-breeze mugwort cookie This is the salted sea-breeze mugwort cookie. I thought the choco pies would be the main event, but these salt cookies turned out to be my favorite... The cookie was slightly crisp and soft, with a moist, tender inside and a really strong mugwort aroma!! ![Salted sea-breeze mugwort cookie with strong mugwort aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul/gwangjang-market-ssooks-chocopie-seoul-22-1kety-900.webp) Ssuk's Choco Pie, a Gwangjang Market dessert with such a rich chocolate flavor that it was really delicious.
