Taegeukdang (Korean: 태극당; Hanja: 太極堂) is a historic bakery now located in Jangchung-dong, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea. It was originally founded in 1946 in Myeong-dong, and moved to its current location in 1973. It is considered the oldest active bakery in Seoul.[1][2][3] It has remained a family business since then; in 2012 the third generation of the family took over.[4] It is classified as an Oraegage, a store of historic value, by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.[5]
It sells a number of Western and Korean baked goods and confectionaries, including the ice cream sandwich product Monaca Ice Cream (모나카 아이스크림).[2] Also popular are castella and jeonbyeong (sweet small pancakes).[3]
