Cheongju rice cake shop dol tteok wrapping options: Tteokmama

Today I visited Tteokmama, a rice cake shop in Yullyang-dong, Cheongju, both to look around at the different kinds of tteok (rice cakes) and to pick up something to snack on.

Once I actually went in, the variety was pretty wide — from everyday tteok to baek-il (100-day celebration), dol (first birthday), and thank-you gift tteok for special occasions. The chapssaltteok (sweet rice cakes) topped with fruit especially caught my eye visually 🍓

Where is Tteokmama Cheongju Yullyang Branch?

Tteokmama Cheongju Yullyang Branch is on the 1st floor of 94 Gonghang-ro, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju. The name is printed large on the storefront, so it wasn't hard to find.

There were also several info banners out front, so I could get a sense of what kinds of tteok they sell before even stepping inside. It's a place that can prepare tteok for events like baek-il or dol as well as thank-you gifts, so it'd be a good reference for anyone looking for a Cheongju baek-il and dol tteok set.

Tteokmama Cheongju Yullyang Branch hours and parking

The sign out front listed OPEN 09:00 / CLOSE 21:00. Since it opens in the morning, timing looked manageable for picking up reserved tteok — like baek-il or thank-you gift tteok — on the day of an event.

I couldn't confirm the exact parking situation from the photos I took this time. Especially for large custom orders like Cheongju event tteok or thank-you gift tteok, where there might be multiple boxes, it seems worth asking about parking availability when making a reservation.

Hours may change on holidays or special days, so it's worth checking before you visit.

What kinds of tteok does this Cheongju rice cake shop sell?

Looking at Tteokmama's display case, the range of tteok was really wide. From white seolgi (steamed rice cake) to dark black-sesame tteok and pinkish tteok, the colors alone made browsing fun haha

There were individually packaged products as well as ones that looked good for gifting, so there seemed to be plenty of options — from snacks to eat at home to tteok for a light gift to a friend.

Inside Tteokmama Cheongju Yullyang Branch

Going inside Tteokmama Cheongju Yullyang Branch, the interior was quite a bit bigger than the small rice cake shops you'd usually picture. It's done in white and wood tones, giving it a clean overall feel.

Tables and chairs were set up, with a refrigerated showcase in the middle.

From 100-day, dol and thank-you tteok to tteok cakes

Tteokmama had a wide range prepared, from box-style gift sets to bojagi wrapping and individual packaging. For special occasions like baek-il or first birthday parties, you end up thinking about packaging just as much as the tteok itself.

If you're looking for a Cheongju baek-il and dol tteok set or a recommendation for thank-you gift tteok from a Cheongju rice cake shop, it looks like a good place to consult based on the mood and quantity of your event. For company events or something like a Cheongju promotion thank-you tteok that needs to be shared with many people, it'd probably be convenient to ask in advance about the composition and packaging you want.

These days, a lot of people choose a tteok cake instead of a regular cake for birthdays or anniversaries. If you're looking into a Cheongju tteok cake, it's probably best to ask the shop in advance about your preferred date, design, and available configurations.

I didn't get to see a finished tteok cake in person on this visit, but with the variety of gift packaging available, it looks like a good place to consult when preparing tteok for events or anniversaries.

The fruit chapssaltteok in the showcase

What caught my eye first at Tteokmama was definitely the fruit chapssaltteok 🤭 Chapssaltteok topped with fruit — strawberry, tangerine, green grape — were lined up in the showcase, and the colors alone were pretty.

These days tteok isn't just a traditional snack — it's presented like dessert, which seems like it'd make it easier for younger people to reach for too.

Up close, there was red bean paste and fruit on top of the chewy tteok. The strawberry paired well with the red bean and was sweet, while the tangerine was refreshing, giving a different feeling when eaten together :)

Honestly it was so good I barely got any photos before eating it all haha. Looking back, I only had a few shots left, which is a little disappointing 🤭 Next time I'll make sure to take proper photos before eating.
