Chuseok-night study café near Sinnonhyeon Station: Selecto Coffee

After finishing a Chuseok family meal, I found myself around Sinnonhyeon Station for the first time in a while. I wanted to grab coffee with my sibling and still had some laptop work to get through, so I looked for a café where I could settle in comfortably.

After checking out a few places, I ended up at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch 24 Auto Brew Cafe, which seemed good for studying since it runs 24 hours. Beyond coffee and sandwiches, it also had amenities like outlets, printing, and scanning, so the space turned out to be more useful than I expected.

Which seats at Selecto Coffee work best for a laptop?

The part I was happiest with this visit was how good it was for studying. There were plenty of tables big enough for a laptop, and outlets at many seats, so it was easy to make use of a charger if you brought one.

When you're working at a café, you sometimes have to move seats because your battery is running low — here, that worry mostly disappeared. There was also a corner set up for printing and scanning.

Not having to go find another location whenever you suddenly need to print something for an assignment or paperwork felt pretty practical. This felt less like a place you grab coffee and leave, and more like a café where you can actually get studying or work done.

Mocha blend vs geisha blend: how the two americanos compared

That day, my sibling and I each ordered a mocha blend iced americano and a geisha blend iced americano.

The mocha blend gave a relatively rich, heavy impression from the first sip. There was a subtle chocolate-like flavor, which I think would suit people who like their americano strong.

The geisha blend had a much brighter feel by comparison. The aroma was clean and the finish light, so it was easy to drink without any heaviness. Trying both back and forth, it was clear how much the bean changes the mood even within the same type of americano.

Being able to choose a coffee to match your own taste was part of the fun of Selecto Coffee.

The chicken sandwich at Selecto Coffee, for a late-night snack

After talking over coffee for a while we got a little hungry, so we also ordered a chicken sandwich. With chicken and vegetables between the bread, it worked well as a simple meal, and the portion was just right alongside coffee, not too heavy.

The flavor leaned mild rather than intense, which paired nicely with the americano. If you have plans near Sinnonhyeon Station at a time that's awkward for a full meal, this sandwich-and-coffee combo would be a good way to handle it simply.
