Since its early days at the Seoul Station flagship location, Focal Point has been recognized as a leading handmade pie shop by being selected for the Blue Ribbon Survey. The brand is also known for its unique menu, which reinterprets Western-style pies to suit Korean tastes and sensibilities. Signature items include the ‘Chungju Apple Pie,’ which highlights the sweetness and tartness of apples from Chungju, and the ‘Seoul Bulgogi Pie,’ featuring traditional Korean bulgogi seasoning.


The Starfield Suwon store is located on the fourth floor near the Byeolmadang Library. Upon opening, the store will offer limited-edition pies, collaborative menu items, and interactive events. While maintaining its core identity centered on pies and tea for new customers and family visitors, Focal Point plans to introduce content tailored to the unique characteristics of a large shopping complex.
