PNB Pungnyeon Bakery (Main Store) PNB 풍년제과 본점
Jeonju · Hanok Village · Cafe
PNB Pungnyeon Bakery claims to have invented the Jeonju chocolate pie, a cake-sized cookie sandwich filled with cream, and the old shop is a pilgrimage for sweet tooths. The classic pie is soft, lightly sweet and sold in gift boxes for travelers to carry home, which is why you will often see people leaving with big paper bags. Other pastries and breads sit in the glass cases, and a small seating area lets you eat on the spot.
Popular gift sets can sell out by afternoon, so buy early if you want a particular box. Prices are fair and cards are accepted. It is a good souvenir stop before leaving town.
The main store is in the central area near Gaeksa, a short walk or taxi ride from the Hanok Village. Use the Korean name when asking directions. (Show a driver: PNB 풍년제과 본점)
