Tips from parents who've been

💡 It is a takeaway shop — good for buying snacks to eat outdoors with a child. 💡 It closes at weekends, so fit it into a weekday Jeongdong-gil route. For a weekend family outing, plan a different snack stop.

Tips for going with kids

💡 Gonggalppang is crisp and easy to break into small pieces for a child. 💡 The corn chiffon is soft and gentle as a snack for a young child. 💡 Gonggalppang, fresh doughnuts and salt bread are what it is known for.

Travelling in Korea

💡 Gonggalppang is a crisp, hollow old-fashioned Korean pastry. 💡 It is a good place to experience the modest snack culture of a Korean neighbourhood bakery rather than elaborate desserts.
