Choi Main Branch (초이 본점) is a large bakery café with Nakdong River views in front of Hopo Station in Dongmyeon, Yangsan, Gyeongnam.

The sun set too early for the Nakdong River view, but the scallion salt bread was the top pick, and Choi Main Branch's spacious, stylish interior still felt great at night.
