Selected Nicks near Gangnam Station: location and visitor info

It’s at 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, a five-minute walk from Exit 4 of Gangnam Station ✨ It’s open 08:00–24:00 on weekdays and 11:00–23:30 on weekends. The eighth-floor rooftop is open 17:00–24:00 on weekdays and 11:00–23:30 on weekends, and the on-site parking is free.

Past the lush green terrace path on the first floor, you’ll find the indoor entrance and stairs. It’s a massive café with no less than six floors, rooftop included! 🙊 Also, weekday lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is happy hour, with Americanos for ₩3,000—Gangnam Station office workers, take note ෆ

The first-floor ordering area and nine kinds of tiramisu

The first floor is where you order, and the flashy interior made my eyes happy the moment I walked in haha. It’s decorated a bit like an amusement park, with all kinds of desserts, plus popular imported candies—including a booth for Qumulo, Pierrot Gourmand’s No. 1 jelly.

And what surprised me most: a whopping nine kinds of tiramisu!! As you’d expect from a tiramisu hotspot, it had one of the biggest selections and most impressive displays I’ve ever seen at a café ..🙊🤎

• Classic, banana, chocolate banana, pistachio
• Raspberry, strawberry, carrot, Dubai chewy, matcha

Out of the nine, my pick was, of course, the Dubai chewy one 🫶🏻 I went late on a weekday evening, though, and lots of the financiers and madeleines were sold out ,, such a shame ㅠㅠ

How could I possibly not order it after seeing that look .. At ₩15,800, it’s definitely pricey, but as a total Dubai chewy cookie fan, I could not resist 😋 For tiramisu, you put the display box for the flavor you want into a basket and bring it up. Such a cute idea lol

Here’s the menu! Have a look at the options and prices ෆ I ordered one Dubai chewy tiramisu and an iced Americano (₩6,000), the perfect match for dessert.

What does the Dubai chewy tiramisu taste like?

Ta-da~~~ ✨✨✨ Let me introduce my Dubai chewy tiramisu and iced Americano ,, it’s beyond dazzling—almost heroic-looking ,,

Under pistachio pieces and pistachio-chocolate cream, cacao-dusted chocolate glutinous-rice mochi wraps Dubai kadaif (shredded pastry) and tiramisu. What a genius combination ••• 🥹🥹🤍🧆✨

The iced Americano was clean-tasting coffee that went just right with the sweet dessert haha. So satisfying ~~

I peeled back a little of the chocolate glutinous-rice mochi crust..? and found classic tiramisu underneath. At this point, I thought that was all there was.

!!!!!!!!!!

But right below that, there was this insanely delicious-looking Dubai kadaif packed in sooooo generously ????!!?? Thick, pistachio-rich kadaif—enough to make a good two Dubai chewy cookies ..🥺💚

There was the coffee-soaked base and sweet, soft tiramisu cream, plus thick, nutty Dubai kadaif, chewy chocolate mochi crust, fragrant pistachio-chocolate cream, and crunchy pistachio topping!! It genuinely tasted worth every won ..🤤🤤

A six-floor café and rooftop that are great even late at night

There actually aren’t that many huge cafés in Gangnam, but this one has six floors and loads of seating on every single floor ,, and it stays open late! No more racking your brains about where to go after dinner in Gangnam with friends—just come here 🙊🖤

I ate on the second floor, but I was curious about the rooftop, so I went up! Pretty night views, soft lighting, and that effortlessly nice atmosphere—it was an outdoor rooftop through and through ,, so romantic ✨✨

I highly recommend Selected Nicks to anyone looking for a mood-setting outdoor terrace rooftop café in Gangnam, a large café open late, Dubai desserts made with real care, or excellent tiramisu ˚ෆ*₊
