I was curious, and they had a neat gift set, so I went and checked it out. - 📍27 Songjeong-ro 8beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea, 1st floor - ⏰ Mon–Fri 10:00–18:30 / Sat–Sun 10:00–20:00 - Use: takeout, reservations, parcel delivery - For longer visits, using the 1913 Songjeong Station Market parking tower is recommended ## Finding Ssukseu Choco Pie by its green sign in 1913 Songjeong Station Market ![Green sign of Ssukseu Choco Pie inside 1913 Songjeong Station Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-01-4vowv-966.webp) Thanks to the huge green sign, Ssukseu Choco Pie is easy to spot while walking through the market even if it's your first time here. ![Bear character holding a shopping bag in the storefront window](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-02-ylss1-966.webp) A bear character🐻 standing by the window holding a shopping bag — apparently the concept comes from the story of a bear who eats mugwort to become human, haha. From the two cute bears to the green shopping bag, the storefront is a low-key photo spot. ![In-store signboard introducing the Ssukseu brand](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-03-4spvr-966.webp) According to the in-store signage, Ssukseu has been a mugwort dessert specialist brand since 2016! Adding Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort and local ingredients to the familiar choco pie, turning it into a distinctly Gwangju travel souvenir, felt impressive💕 ![Interior of the takeout shop displaying choco pie gift boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-04-e0xwb-966.webp) Since it's a takeout-only shop, one whole wall filled with green boxes made it immediately clear this place is all about gift sets. ![Wall lined with green gift set boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-05-xlmvd-966.webp) There's a tasting table where you can try before you buy! I could check out the flavors I was curious about first. ![In-store tasting table where visitors can sample flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-06-7b1qk-966.webp) It's really set up for buying and packing, so you can just go straight to picking your set. ## Which mugwort choco pie flavor should you pick? ![Display case with choco pies, scones, and cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-07-1pmk6-966.webp) Ssukseu has more than choco pies — scones, cookies, cheesecake, and even mugwort milk tea were all on offer. There were way more options than I expected, so I went in to pick just one and somehow ended up filling a whole gift box, haha. ![Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort choco pie and Nonsan strawberry choco pie on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-08-10xi6-966.webp) • Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort choco pie = the classic option, letting you enjoy a mild mugwort-and-fresh-cream combo. The Nonsan strawberry has a house-made strawberry purée inside, making it easier to eat for people who find mugwort intimidating. ![Sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi choco pie topped with bean powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-09-pziuq-966.webp) • Sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi (rice cake) = a popular pick with bean powder, injeolmi cream, and chewy rice cake all added! The Udo peanut has a clear nutty peanut flavor, so it should suit anyone who loves nuts. ![Udo peanut choco pie on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-10-2vv5h-966.webp) • Sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean = mugwort paired with domestic red beans • Gwangju real choco = the chocolate chips in the cream are the highlight! A nice lineup where a mugwort person and a chocolate person could each pick one to their own taste. ![Sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean and Gwangju real choco choco pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-11-v9o28-966.webp) Beyond the choco pies, mugwort desserts like the sea-breeze mugwort salt cookie and the Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort scone were also available. The mugwort salt cookie especially, with its sweet-and-salty combo, is something I definitely want to bring someone back for next time. ![Sea-breeze mugwort salt cookies and Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort scones on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-12-yhzyn-966.webp) • The domestic soybean tofu scone and sweet pumpkin cookie sound wholesome just from their names, haha. I walked in expecting only choco pies, but it felt like a whole Ssukseu-brand dessert sampler! ![Display of domestic soybean tofu scones and sweet pumpkin cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-13-19aa9-m-966.webp) They also sell mugwort milk tea and regular milk tea in bear-shaped bottles. ## Gift set prices at Ssukseu Choco Pie: 13,400 won for 3, 24,800 won for 6 ![Mugwort milk tea and regular milk tea in bear-shaped bottles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-14-15q1l-966.webp) For the gift sets, you can choose whichever items you like from the choco pies, scones, and cookies to build a 3-piece or 6-piece box. The 3-piece is ₩13,400 and the 6-piece is ₩24,800 — you also get a discount compared to buying items individually. ![Sign showing 3-piece and 6-piece gift set composition and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-15-1psqt-966.webp) There's a free sticker service too! You can decorate the 3-piece and 6-piece gift boxes with thank-you, celebration, or holiday stickers depending on the occasion, so it seems good for return gifts or office snacks. ![Free packaging stickers reading thank-you and congratulations](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-16-13bxg-966.webp) With a sticker added to the green box, the packaging looked tidy while still keeping a strong brand feel. It's close to Gwangju Songjeong Station, so stocking up on a travel gift before catching your train is easy~☺️ ![Green choco pie gift box decorated with a sticker](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-17-2z0um-900.webp) Since it's a chilled dessert, if your travel time is long it's better to add an ice cooler bag. Parcel delivery is also available! The gift box itself is neat too — it's sturdy and looks premium enough that you don't really need to wrap it separately before gifting💕 ## What's inside the 6-piece box: six flavors tasted one by one ![Chilled dessert gift packed together with a cooler bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-18-14nva-966.webp) My 6-piece lineup: Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort, sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi, sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean, Udo peanut, Nonsan strawberry, Gwangju real choco. Three mugwort-style and three chocolate-style flavors mixed together, so one box covers a range of tastes👍 ![Six-piece choco pie gift set filled with six different flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-19-oowhm-1200.webp) They're individually wrapped, so it's very easy to take them out one at a time. The packaging design actually shows the cross-section and ingredients, so you can tell the flavors apart without even opening the box💕 ![Individually wrapped choco pies with different designs per flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-20-1o5jg-966.webp) Thick and moist, closer to a fresh-cream dessert in look💕 From the mugwort-colored sheet to the chocolate coating, bean powder, and peanut toppings, each flavor looks different too. ![Thick choco pie with mugwort-colored sheet and chocolate coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-21-jclq4-966.webp) The mugwort scent isn't too strong and blends softly with the fresh cream, so it seems like an easy, sweet-dessert-style entry point even for people who usually find mugwort intimidating, not just mugwort lovers. ![Mugwort choco pie split in half showing the fresh cream inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-22-2zean-966.webp) Since Ssukseu Choco Pie is a fresh-cream dessert, keep it refrigerated 🥶 If frozen, let it thaw naturally for about 15 minutes before eating for a moist, soft texture. ## Is Ssukseu Choco Pie worth it as a Gwangju travel gift? ![Choco pies displayed alongside refrigeration storage instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-23-7ybsj-900.webp) Being close to Gwangju Songjeong Station makes it easy to stop by before or after a trip, and packing ingredients from Gwangju and various other regions into one box felt special. ![Green Ssukseu Choco Pie gift box held in hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set/gwangju-songjeong-mugwort-choco-pie-gift-set-24-zl7c3-900.webp) The packaging is neat and you can pick your own flavors, so it really seems great for gifting!
