What sets it apart from Jeonju choco pie is the huge variety of flavors. The quality is great too, so I end up craving it and buying it every so often haha.

But I think I end up going to Ssukseu more often haha. It's just great for gifts!! The place stands out with its deep green interior accents. ![Interior and display case of Ssukseu Choco Pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-05-ngy6u-900.webp) ![Showcase with cookies, scones, and cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-06-1y6de-900.webp) Ssukseu Choco Pie sells choco pies of course, but also cookies, scones, and cheesecake! This time we picked up a 6-pack of choco pies. Then it was off to catch the train home. > Ssukseu Choco Pie 6-pack set — ₩24,800 ![Packaging box for the Ssukseu Choco Pie 6-pack set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-07-1078n-900.webp) ![Brochure and business card included with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-08-153bo-900.webp) The 6-pack came with Ssukseu Choco Pie's business card and brochure inside! Ssukseu Choco Pie also has a Seoul branch, so if you like it, you could visit that location too. There are so many menu items — next time I want to try the domestic soybean tofu scone and the mugwort cheesecake... ![Full lineup of six individually wrapped choco pie flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-09-k4h8v-900.webp) ## What comes in the 24,800-won 6-pack set The choco pie 6-pack includes six flavors: Geomundo sea-wind mugwort, sea-wind mugwort injeolmi (rice cake coated in bean flour), sea-wind mugwort red bean, Jeju Udo peanut, Nonsan strawberry, and Gwangju real chocolate! Each package is neatly designed, with a cute, intuitive cross-section print showing exactly what's inside lol. Receiving this as a gift would feel really nice. ![Cross-section of the Gwangju real chocolate choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-10-1k45z-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the sea-wind mugwort injeolmi and Nonsan strawberry choco pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-11-18n5v-900.webp) On the left is the real chocolate, and on the right are the sea-wind mugwort injeolmi and Nonsan strawberry — the soft cream is sandwiched between a densely baked choco pie sheet and coated in chocolate, and since the ingredient quality seems good, it wasn't too sweet and tasted great! The cross-sections are so, so pretty. The ingredients matched to each flavor were included without being excessive, so the balance was good too! ![Nonsan strawberry choco pie showing the strawberry jam filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-12-iqt35-900.webp) ![A bite-sized cross-section of the Nonsan strawberry choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-13-19o4v-900.webp) The Nonsan strawberry has a strawberry jam filling in the center, and it tasted exactly as delicious as you'd imagine, but the sea-wind mugwort injeolmi choco pie was seriously amazing! ![Sea-wind mugwort injeolmi choco pie with injeolmi cream and rice cake inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-14-1mtte-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the mugwort sheet on the sea-wind mugwort injeolmi choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-15-1c650-900.webp) ### The favorite: sea-wind mugwort injeolmi choco pie The sea-wind mugwort injeolmi choco pie became my favorite flavor the moment I tasted it — the mugwort sheet came together with injeolmi cream and rice cake inside. One bite gives you the nutty aroma of roasted bean flour alongside a subtle mugwort fragrance, and it was perfect together with the soft injeolmi cream and the chewy rice cake. If you can only try one, I'd recommend the distinctively flavored sea-wind mugwort injeolmi choco pie!! ![Udo peanut and sea-wind mugwort red bean choco pies cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-16-lmz15-900.webp) And here are the Udo peanut and sea-wind mugwort red bean flavors, which were perfect cut in half for a sweet fix on a lazy afternoon. ![Jeju Udo peanut choco pie topped with crushed peanut bits](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-17-f1rqj-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the sea-wind mugwort red bean choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set-18-1ek6j-900.webp) ### Udo peanut and sea-wind mugwort whole red bean Personally I'm not a fan of heavy peanut butter flavors, but the Udo peanut flavor let the actual peanut taste shine through more, thanks to the crushed peanut bits on top of the sheet rather than peanut butter!! There were also a few chocolate chips tucked inside for good balance. The sea-wind mugwort red bean was tasty too, but the red bean's impact wasn't huge, so honestly the injeolmi was way more to my taste hahaha. ## Is Ssukseu Choco Pie a good Gwangju souvenir? If you've been looking for a quality dessert spot among Gwangju Songjeong Station bakeries, or looking for a souvenir to share with friends and family on your Gwangju trip, I'd absolutely recommend this place! > The sweet chocolate coating and soft filling come together perfectly. And the variety of flavors makes it even better! ## Where it is - Ssukseu Choco Pie (쑥스초코파이) - 27 Songjeong-ro 8beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 광산구 송정로8번길 27 1층 - 35.1359053, 126.7916534 - 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/@35.1359053,126.7916534,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@neighborhood-menu-stubs/gwangju-songjeong-ssukseu-chocopie-six-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
