After a market outing with a friend, the writer packed a boxed set home to share Gwangju Real Choco, Nonsan strawberry, and Udo peanut flavors with her kids. Not overly sweet, it worked well as both a kids' snack and a gift. ## Good to know - **Choco pie flavors**: Sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi, Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort, Gwangju Real Choco, Udo peanut, Nonsan strawberry, sea-breeze mugwort red bean, and more - **Scones & cookies**: Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort scone, sea-breeze mugwort salt cookie, sweet pumpkin cookie, Korean tofu cookie, and more - **Purchase format**: Ssuk's Choco Pie set box (individually wrapped boxes) - **Location**: 25 Jongno 32-gil, 1st floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* You all know by now I'm dead serious about good desserts and food spots, right?? Hahaha. After a kaisendon café outing, since I was already out enjoying my free day, I figured I'd go all in and headed to the lively Gwangjang Market for the first time in a while :) ![A lively scene from a Gwangjang Market outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-01-19wxq-900.webp) My friend and I happily filled our stomachs while wandering the market, and suddenly we were craving something sweet and delicious. So we headed straight to the Gwangjang Market spot everyone's been talking about lately — Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul. 💚 ![Outside Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul in Gwangjang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-02-leub3-900.webp) ![The deep green exterior of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-03-11tkc-900.webp) ## A deep green exterior that catches your eye right away As I walked past, I spotted the shop right away — the whole interior was done in a refreshing, pretty deep green that really stood out :) ![The eye-catching green storefront entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-04-133gn-900.webp) ### The vibe inside and the display case The moment I stepped inside, I felt how clean and polished the space was! The display case was packed with neatly arranged handmade choco pies, scones, and cookies. Above the shelves, the green signature shopping bags, cute bear-shaped bottle drinks, and bottles of mugwort extract were all beautifully displayed — I couldn't help but gasp when I saw it. My friend spotted the cute bear character and the mascot dolls in the shop and went, 'Oh my, this is so cute!' hahaha, and couldn't take her eyes off them. ![The display case neatly filled with handmade choco pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-05-kszyn-900.webp) ![Green signature shopping bags and bear-shaped bottle drinks on the shelf](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-06-7x926-900.webp) ![Bottles of mugwort extract and shop mascot dolls on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-07-s48ei-900.webp) ![Scones and cookies displayed inside the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-08-jqrrw-900.webp) ## What's on the choco pie, scone, and cookie lineup? The dessert lineup here was really unique, even among the many Gwangjang Market bakeries! It's not just standard chocolate flavors — they've combined Korean-style ingredients with modern desserts really well. - Choco pie flavors: sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi (glutinous rice cake), Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort, Gwangju Real Choco, Udo peanut, Nonsan strawberry, sea-breeze mugwort red bean, and more - Scones & cookies: Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort scone, sea-breeze mugwort salt cookie, sweet pumpkin cookie, Korean tofu cookie, and more Browsing slowly through the menu board, so many items made my mouth water just from the name alone. Using regional specialties like sea-breeze mugwort from Geomundo Island in Jeollanam-do, Nonsan strawberries, and Udo peanuts felt like a really fresh, trustworthy idea :) ![The menu board listing choco pie flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-09-yvhwl-1200.webp) Stuck in a happy dilemma over what to pick, we decided we wanted to try a variety of flavors, so my friend and I each bought a boxed Ssuk's Choco Pie set! ![A packed Ssuk's Choco Pie set box](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-10-la083-900.webp) ![The choco pie set in a green signature shopping bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-11-1gn07-900.webp) ## Unboxing the set at home — great for gifting too? I brought it home excitedly, and my kids went wild wanting to eat it right away, hahaha. So I unboxed it immediately! 🎁 The moment I opened the box, each individually wrapped box inside looked so upscale and pretty. Thanks to that fancy packaging, my first thought was that it would be perfect as a gift for friends, parents, or even my kid's teacher. ![Unboxing the individually wrapped choco pie set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-12-1g9e8-900.webp) ![Opening one of the individually packaged boxes of choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-13-6uerr-900.webp) ### The cross-section and taste of the Gwangju Real Choco First up, I cut into the shop's signature Gwangju Real Choco choco pie. Splitting it in half, the cross-section showed thick, moist cake layers with plenty of soft, dense cream packed in between! Scattered through the cream were sweet chocolate chips and bits with a nice bite. I took a big bite. Ooooh, it's genuinely delicious!! Sweet, but not overly so — that perfect balance gave it a really refined taste. It wasn't heavy or dry at all, and the bread was so soft it went down smoothly without getting stuck in your throat, which the kids loved too. ### Nonsan strawberry and Udo peanut — the family's reactions The Nonsan strawberry choco pie we brought home filled the mouth with a refreshing, sweet strawberry scent, and it was a huge hit with my kids! The Udo peanut choco pie had a nutty crunch from crushed peanuts, and my husband raved that it was perfect with coffee. Even though it's a chocolate dessert, it's not overly sweet, and you can really taste the wholesome ingredients — it seems like it'd suit both little kids' snack time and older folks' tastes too. ![A Gwangju Real Choco choco pie cut in half showing its cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-bakery-mugwort-chocopie-set-14-17lfl-900.webp) ## Why it's worth adding to a Gwangjang Market route After a good meal and all the street food at the market, this is the perfect place to grab a light dessert to carry home in one hand. I confidently recommend it to fellow parents wondering what to feed the kids as a snack, or anyone looking for an uncommon, delicious handmade bakery in Gwangjang Market ♡ Next time I go to Gwangjang Market, I'm sweeping up the sea-breeze mugwort salt cookies, the scones, and that bear bottle drink I saw in the shop! Hahaha. If you've got a Gwangjang Market outing planned, be sure to stop by Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul and try their special, delicious desserts.
