I looked over chocolate injeolmi and fruit mochi rice cakes, plus return-gift, 100-day celebration, and first-birthday rice cake options. A lovely stop for family snacks and gift-ready rice cakes. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 08:30–21:00 - **Parking**: Parking in the building and curbside parking available - **Drink menu**: Coffee, sikhye, smoothies, ades, juice, and tea - **Custom orders**: 100-day celebration rice cakes, first-birthday rice cakes, event rice cakes, rice cake cakes, ibaji rice cakes, and holiday gift sets *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Front view of Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch in Cheongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-01-rqesf-1200.webp) ![Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch introducing return-gift rice cakes in Cheongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-02-1t5ch-900.webp) When holidays, weddings, or first-birthday parties roll around and there is suddenly so much to arrange, return gifts are always such a dilemma, right? When you look for something that is neither too common nor too burdensome, rice cakes naturally come to mind. I happened to have a chance to visit Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch on the main road in Gaesin-dong, Cheongju, so I’m leaving my review today. ![Shop with a pregnancy-friendly business notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-03-z3m7r-900.webp) The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it is a designated pregnancy-friendly business! Wow.... Knowing it is a shop that is considerate toward pregnant customers made me trust it even more, you know...? Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch is on Bokdae-ro in Seowon-gu, Cheongju. It sits on a wide main road and has floor-to-ceiling glass windows, so it was easy to spot even from a distance. There is parking in the building as well as curbside parking, so visiting by car was no trouble. It is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., which is another plus—you can stop by comfortably from early morning until late evening. ## A café-like atmosphere unlike a typical rice cake shop ![Café-like interior at Tteokmama](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-04-12nox-900.webp) ![Rice cake shop space with wooden tables and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-05-1e3gw-900.webp) The interior is what surprises you first when you enter. Rather than the traditional rice cake shop you might expect, it is styled like a polished café, so it put me in a good mood from the moment I arrived. The spacious shop has plenty of wooden tables and seats, so you can do more than take things to go—you can sit down and enjoy rice cakes and a drink right there. It felt like an easy, no-pressure spot for a snack between taking children to and from lessons, or for a meal substitute at an awkward in-between time. ## A wide range of drinks as well as rice cakes ![Various drink options sold with rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-06-tf7jc-900.webp) ![Rice cake shop selling coffee and sikhye](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-07-1m8cx-900.webp) ![Drink menu at Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-08-styge-900.webp) Another appeal of Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch is that it does not sell rice cakes alone. There are plenty of drinks to choose from according to your taste, including coffee, sikhye (sweet rice punch), smoothies, ades, juice, and tea. Sweet rice cakes and a cold Americano go surprisingly well together, and it felt refreshingly novel to enjoy that combination at a rice cake shop. ## From Cheongju 100-day and first-birthday sets to return gifts ![Display introducing 100-day and first-birthday rice cake sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-09-wawtb-900.webp) ![Various rice cakes available as return gifts](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-10-czjpg-900.webp) If you are looking for 100-day celebration or first-birthday rice cake sets in Cheongju, this is a place worth noting. There is such a fun variety to choose from: basics such as baekseolgi (steamed white rice cake), glutinous rice cakes, and injeolmi (coated pounded rice cake), as well as jeolpyeon (sliced rice cake), chapssaltteok (glutinous rice cake), yakbap (sweet rice), and barley rice cakes. ![Varieties of rice cakes including baekseolgi and glutinous rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-11-aljh5-900.webp) ![Rice cake display with injeolmi and jeolpyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-12-139g9-900.webp) ![Rice cake selection including chapssaltteok, yakbap, and barley rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-13-b3cy8-900.webp) The jeolpyeon in particular came in pretty, colorful shades and was offered as a set with jocheong (rice syrup), which made it great for dipping. There have been so many times when I wanted to dip rice cake in jocheong but felt it was too much because the bottle was so big; I loved that they sell exactly the amount you need like this. ![Colorful jeolpyeon served with jocheong](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-14-uumuj-900.webp) The chocolate injeolmi I picked! I really loved that there were so many rice cakes that were not just ordinary rice cakes, but reflected current tastes and trends!!! ![Chocolate injeolmi rice cake chosen by the writer](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-15-qk39d-900.webp) ![Various rice cakes reflecting current tastes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-16-1oqg0-900.webp) ![Rice cake menu including chocolate injeolmi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-17-fjk6o-900.webp) ![Display of trendy rice cake options](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-18-1em5o-900.webp) ![Looking over rice cakes in various flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-19-1ggp8-900.webp) The fruit-topped mochi rice cakes were impressive too. ![Fruit-topped mochi rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-20-1wvai-900.webp) ![Mochi rice cakes with fruit and sweet bean paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-21-gikjr-900.webp) At specialty shops, they are often over ₩5,000 each, but here I could enjoy them at a much more reasonable price. The rice cake, fresh fruit, and sweet bean paste worked beautifully together, so they looked equally fitting as children’s snacks or desserts for adults. ## Custom Cheongju event rice cakes and return-gift wrapping This is also a good place for anyone who needs custom event rice cakes in Cheongju. You can place custom orders for 100-day celebration rice cakes, first-birthday rice cakes, and event rice cakes, as well as rice cake cakes, ibaji rice cakes, and holiday gift sets. They are also taking advance reservations for the upcoming Chuseok holiday gift sets, so if you are considering gifts for parents or elders, it may be worth getting organized early. ![Information on custom orders for event rice cakes and holiday gift sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-22-1rdmr-900.webp) ![Return-gift and gift-set packaging options](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-23-i8kdv-900.webp) The packaging was also very clean and tidy. It preserved that thoughtful feeling unique to return-gift rice cakes without being overdone, so I thought it was just right for conveying sincerity without making anyone feel burdened. The packaging supplies used for group orders also looked premium, which made them more than satisfying for gifts. I’m happily taking home the rice cakes I bought, all wrapped up~~ I was so excited to get home and eat them with the kids!!!! ![Purchased rice cakes being packed to take home](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama-24-1n9cl-900.webp) Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch was more than simply a place to buy rice cakes: it was somewhere to sit comfortably for a snack and take care of return gifts or holiday presents all at once. They also said frozen rice cakes retain their just-made taste once thawed, which makes them practical to pull out and eat whenever needed. If you are considering return-gift rice cakes, 100-day or first-birthday sets, or custom event rice cakes in Cheongju, I recommend visiting Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch. I hope you will stop by with the whole family, enjoy rice cakes and drinks, and have fun choosing together! ## Where it is - Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch (떡마마 청주개신점) (떡마마 청주개신점) - 101, 1st floor, 13 Bokdae-ro, Seowon-gu, Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 청주시 서원구 복대로 13 1층 101호 - 36.6184248, 127.4458144 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%96%A1%EB%A7%88%EB%A7%88%20%EC%B2%AD%EC%A3%BC%EA%B0%9C%EC%8B%A0%EC%A0%90/@36.6184248,127.4458144,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-bread-board/cheongju-ricecake-gift-tteokmama/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
