I'd been on my feet since morning and just wanted to sit down somewhere. Went into Pungnyeon Bakery mostly because it was right there and it had chairs.

Turned out the second floor is a seating area where you can eat whatever you buy downstairs. Didn't know that going in. That was the real win of the afternoon.

Got the handmade chocopie since that's what they're known for, plus a coffee. Cocoa sponge, cream and strawberry jam inside, the whole thing dipped in chocolate. It's big. If you're not into sweet stuff it might be a lot, but with black coffee it evened out fine.

The counter downstairs is way bigger than I expected too. All kinds of bread, not just the chocopie line.

Picked up a few more on the way out for family. I wouldn't tell anyone to go to Jeonju for this one bakery, but if you're already walking the old town and need to sit for twenty minutes and grab a souvenir at the same time, it covers both!
