In short
Hodukkakki Brothers Bangbae branch (호두까끼형제 방배점) is a handmade walnut pie shop in a quiet alley in Bangbae-dong, Seocho, Seoul, near Express Bus Terminal and Naebang Station. A regular of the Yangjae branch visited the Bangbae branch for the first time, ordering Mini Half-and-Half Pies as an office snack and trying a milk cream walnut pie for the first time, and loved how the thin, crisp crust paired with soft cream sandwiching strawberry jam. With eat-in seating and neat gift packaging, Hodukkakki Brothers Bangbae branch is a dessert spot worth seeking out in Bangbae-dong.

A Yangjae regular visits the Bangbae branch of Hodukkakki Brothers
Hodukkakki Brothers (호두까끼형제) is a walnut pie specialist I can't walk past whenever I'm in Seoul, like a sparrow at a rice mill. I'd only ever been to the Yangjae branch, but today I finally visited the Bangbae branch near Express Bus Terminal. There's a space to eat in, and the alley itself is so quiet and lovely, I really liked it!

Can you eat in at the Bangbae branch?
Yes, there's an eat-in area inside the shop. It's said to be a handmade dessert walnut pie shop that doesn't use refined sugar. The day I went was gorgeously sunny, and lots of customers were enjoying pie with a cup of coffee.
The menu, from nut pies to cream pies
Hodukkakki Brothers is a handmade walnut pie shop that keeps the flavor of the ingredients front and center, with a thin crust and a thick layer of filling.
There are nut pies like walnut, pecan and macadamia, plus a range of cream pies that kids would love. The milk cream walnut, matcha cream and cream cheese walnut pies seem like ones even people who don't like nuts would really enjoy.
They also have the super-trendy Dubai crispy pie.
Single pieces, mixed trays and gift packaging
At the Bangbae branch you can order pies one at a time, or mix several kinds to make a whole tray of pie.
The boxes are really pretty and the packaging is neat, so if you need a gift for people around you, I'd recommend the Bangbae branch of Hodukkakki Brothers over a factory-style chain.
Mini Half-and-Half Pies picked as an office snack
This time I ordered the Mini Half-and-Half Pie and the milk cream walnut pie.
I ordered mini walnut pies to carry to the office as snacks, and a milk cream walnut pie, which I'd never tried before. The mini walnut pies are round and individually wrapped.
The Mini Half-and-Half Pie holds two kinds of pies, each just the right size for one bite. Hodukkakki Brothers says it makes its own crust by hand, kneading and resting organic flour and almond flour with natural milk butter into the thinnest, crispest 1mm crust. That keeps the crunch alive and makes the rich, thick filling taste even better.
What does the milk cream walnut pie taste like?
The milk cream walnut pie is Hodukkakki Brothers' signature pie: a walnut pie piled high with rich French fresh milk cream. This milk cream pie was the one I'd been looking forward to most.
Sweet homemade strawberry jam is sandwiched in, and the cream just melts in your mouth. Soft cream on top of the crisp walnut pie filling, not too sweet, and the two go together so well. Absolutely delicious!
Every bite had an amazing texture. I recommend Hodukkakki Brothers Bangbae branch, a handmade walnut pie shop, as a great spot in Bangbae-dong :-)
