Wandering through a market packed with foreign tourists, I got recommended the popular menu for gifting, brought it home to share with my parents, and found the individual wrapping — each printed with a product photo and name — ready to gift straight out of the bag with no extra wrapping needed. The choco pie was moist, but personally the sweet-salty mugwort salt cookie impressed me even more. ## Good to know - **Location**: 398-9 Jongno 5-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Hours (Mon–Fri)**: 11:00 – 18:30 - **Hours (Sat–Sun)**: 10:00 – 19:00 - **Service**: Takeout only - **Menu**: Mugwort-based choco pies, assorted cookies (including mugwort salt cookie) *as written by the visitor on Sep 4, 2026* ![Cover image of desserts at Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul in Gwangjang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-01-1kfgx-900.webp) I went to Gwangjang Market for the first time in a while. But right as I walked in, I was a bit surprised — there seemed to be more foreign tourists than Korean visitors. ![Gwangjang Market crowded with tourists](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-02-svbtm-900.webp) I found a snack that I thought, "My foreign friends and my parents would really love this as a gift!" — so I picked some up to enjoy with my parents too! ## Location and hours of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul - Location: 398-9 Jongno 5-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Hours Mon–Fri: 11:00 – 18:30 - Hours Sat–Sun: 10:00 – 19:00 ![Exterior of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-03-1sr0j-900.webp) ## A trendy dessert spot that stands out inside Gwangjang Market It's a noticeably more polished, trendy space. Clean and stylish from the outside, and the interior is decorated like the dessert shops you see nowadays — a completely different vibe from the traditional atmosphere of Gwangjang Market. ![Clean, tidy interior of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-04-irig1-900.webp) ![Display area inside Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-05-25emz-900.webp) ![Showcase displaying mugwort choco pies and cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-06-1b4xm-900.webp) ## What I picked — recommended best sellers I saw everything from mugwort-based choco pies to various cookies. Since it was my first visit, I asked for recommendations and bought the store's most popular items. ![Packaged recommended best-sellers I purchased](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-07-1ewe0-900.webp) True to being a takeout specialty shop, I got my order quickly, which made it easy to grab and go while exploring the rest of Gwangjang Market. ![Takeout shopping bag from Ssuk's Choco Pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-08-vfvvn-900.webp) ## How's the gift packaging and individual wrapping? It was really perfect for gifting because the packaging was so pretty. Each item is individually wrapped, which makes it easy to store, and each wrapper clearly shows a product photo and name, so it's easy to tell everything apart at a glance. With such pretty packaging plus clean individual wrapping, you really don't need to wrap it again — it's ready to gift as is. ![Individually wrapped desserts printed with product photo and name](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-09-c1f6s-900.webp) ![Mugwort choco pies in gift packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-10-fndar-900.webp) ![Several individually wrapped mugwort choco pie varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-11-1tw04-900.webp) ![Unwrapped mugwort choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-12-m7nxs-900.webp) ![Cross-section showing the moist texture of the mugwort choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-13-kh1c7-900.webp) ## How does the choco pie taste? The choco pie was moist and sweet, a flavor few people would dislike, and with so many varieties I don't think it would get boring. ![Packaged cookies from Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-14-gyh2w-1200.webp) ![Mugwort cookie with a crisp outside and moist inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-15-q4pop-900.webp) ![The sweet-and-salty mugwort salt cookie I loved](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie-16-14y51-900.webp) ## My top recommendation: the mugwort salt cookie Personally, I liked the cookies even more. Crisp on the outside, moist inside, with a satisfyingly dense texture — really delicious. Of everything, the one I want to recommend most is the mugwort salt cookie! The subtle mugwort aroma combined with the salty finish made for a really great sweet-and-salty combination. Personally, I'd recommend the mugwort salt cookie over the choco pie. ## Where it is - Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul (쑥스초코파이 서울) - 25 Jongno 32-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st floor) - 서울특별시 종로구 종로32길 25 1층 - 37.5699262, 127.0014533 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%91%A5%EC%8A%A4%EC%B4%88%EC%BD%94%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%B4%20%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8/@37.5699262,127.0014533,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-queue-window/gwangjang-market-gift-packaged-mugwort-choco-pie/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
