On a packed weekend evening the writer finally got a third-floor seat at Something About Coffee and ordered an egg cookie, peach Basque cheesecake, peppermint tea and a black sesame latte, finding the top floor quieter than the second, with a restroom and phone charging right there. It was a return visit after a year, and both the cake and the tea were good enough to make Something About Coffee a café worth coming back to. ## Good to know - **Location**: 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (1st, 2nd and 3rd floors) - **Ordering**: Order on the 2nd floor; seating on the 1st and 3rd floors as well - **What was ordered**: Egg cookie, peach (Basque) cheesecake, peppermint tea, black sesame latte - **3rd-floor perks**: Relatively quiet, cool, restroom and phone charging available - **Ingredients**: French gourmet butter, French chocolate, Guérande salt, Finnish cream cheese, 100% dairy whipping cream, French black tea leaves, 100% almond - **Tea brand**: AKBAR tea *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Photo from a visit to Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-01-xsufx-900.webp) 👆🏻Something About Coffee, a café near Sinnonhyeon Station ## Back at Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon Station after a year Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon Station is the café where we first met. I'm such a literature type who loves reading and writing that I'm always nagging our Jeonsu to read more, haha. But sometimes Jeonsu is even more sentimental than me — this time Jeonsu was the one who suggested we go back to the café where we first met. We kept putting it off — too hot, too busy — but we finally made it back to Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon Station. The first time we came, on a Friday evening, there wasn't even a seat and we ended up at the café next door instead. On the weekend it was the same story — no seats — until finally, finally, one opened up. All the way up on the 3rd floor!!!!!! Anyway, unlike the 2nd floor, which was noisy and packed, the 3rd floor was relatively quiet, cool, and had a restroom and phone charging too — loved it! ☺️ We ate at COEX first and had our date there, then wandered around the Apple Store at Gangnam Station eyeing the iPhone 17 Pro vs. the iPhone 17 Pro Max, wondering if we'd catch the last train!!!! Anyway, we made it to Something About Coffee..☺️ ![List of ingredients used by Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-02-e757w-900.webp) ## What ingredients does Something About Coffee use? - ☁️ French gourmet butter - ☁️ French chocolate - ☁️ Guérande salt - ☁️ Finnish cream cheese - ☁️ 100% dairy cream - ☁️ French black tea leaves - ☁️ 100% almond ![Something About Coffee's exterior seen in broad daylight](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-03-9kbjy-900.webp) 💙💙 Something About Coffee 💙💙 looks like a terrace house renovated into a café, all the way up to a rooftop on the 3rd floor. The first time we came it was evening and dark so it didn't feel like this — in broad daylight, it's a whole different vibe!! ![The terrace-topped building housing Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-04-1nc4w-m-900.webp) ![The café entrance at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-05-15goy-900.webp) ## Three floors: where do you order at Something About Coffee? This is the 2nd floor. At Something About Coffee you choose your order on the 2nd floor, and you can use the seating on the 1st and 3rd floors as well! ![The 2nd floor where orders are taken at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-06-1x7gn-m-900.webp) There's a lineup of very European-feeling desserts here ![Showcase filled with European-style desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-07-14cm0-900.webp) ![Dessert display case at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-08-136nw-m-900.webp) We'd already eaten, but we'd also walked a lot, and coming all the way to Gangnam without eating dessert would be a shame! Haha hahahaha ![Choosing a cake in front of the display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-09-mqi7v-900.webp) ## Ordering the egg cookie and peach cheesecake So instead of egg tart, we ordered one egg cookie, and a peach cake topped with real, in-season peaches! ![Peach-topped cake and egg cookie on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-10-6db7c-900.webp) They also have a delicious sandwich (sando), and since Something About Coffee uses dairy cream, it's not too sweet and tastes great! ![Sandwich made with dairy cream on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-11-fqabq-m-900.webp) ![Interior of the renovated café building](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-12-13uqb-m-900.webp) How on earth did they renovate this building?! Every Gangnam person seems to be gathered right here, hahaha And the buzzer went off super fast! With several staff behind the bar, service was really quick and efficient — this is that Korean-style efficiency, right? ![Drinks and desserts on the table at the 3rd-floor seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-13-1l983-900.webp) My peppermint tea, and Jeonsu's black sesame latte. Plus the peach cream cake and egg cookie ![Two cups: peppermint tea and black sesame latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-14-imax6-900.webp) ## The peppermint tea is made with AKBAR tea Something About Coffee's peppermint tea uses AKBAR tea. It was genuinely delicious! Do you all know the benefits of peppermint tea? 🌿 Peppermint tea benefits 🌿 Peppermint tea, with its refreshing aroma, is an herbal tea that's almost caffeine-free, making it easy to enjoy without worry. - ✔️ Eases indigestion and bloating - ✔️ Helps with gas or a stuffy feeling - ✔️ Freshens breath - ✔️ Warm, it's soothing and relaxing It's especially good to sip a cup after a meal when your stomach feels heavy — very refreshing. ![Peppermint tea brewed with AKBAR tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-15-1sl4d-900.webp) Honestly it was so clean and delicious! Peppermint tea never lets me down, haha. Back when I worked part-time at Coffee Bean, I got really into peppermint tea — because Coffee Bean's full name is Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, they had a huge tea selection, and it wasn't just bagged tea drinks but proper, real tea, which I loved. Honestly that part-time job was basically me indulging my own tea obsession, hahaha ![A slice of the peach cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-16-10yp3-900.webp) ## How does the peach Basque cheesecake taste? Anyway, the peach cake was also refreshing, just sweet enough, and really delicious ![Forkful of the peach cream cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-17-1f4fg-900.webp) So good, so good Don't picture an egg tart when you order this — an egg tart uses raw pastry dough, but this one is a cookie, and the combination of cookie and egg tart-like filling is insane. On top of a thick Basque cheesecake, they pile on dairy milk cream and real peaches — so, so delicious! It felt like we managed to grab the very last cake left. ![Peach topping on the Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-18-chz19-900.webp) Ugh, seriously so good! I'm eating a lot of peaches this year ![Basque cheesecake layered with peach compote](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-19-7nuqh-1200.webp) I was genuinely happy!!! There's peach compote tucked subtly into the Basque cake too!? > Egg cookie It didn't cut cleanly! Because it's an egg cookie, not an egg tart, haha ![Egg cookie that didn't cut cleanly](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint/something-about-coffee-egg-cookie-peppermint-20-jxz81-900.webp) ## Worth it for cake near Sinnonhyeon Station?
