It's been a while since our last date at Sinnonhyeon Station ➿ Sundays are a bit more relaxed, so my husband and I had lunch and then headed to Selecto Coffee ☕️ We've been here quite a few times already ✨ It's a 24-hour café so you can come any time, and now it has charging seats for people who study or work at cafés, plus sandwiches, which made me like this Sinnonhyeon Station café even more ➿

Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon is in an alley toward Exit 1 of Sinnonhyeon Station, and it's open 24 hours every day. Come into the alley from Exit 1 and you'll see the Selecto Coffee shop ✨
I came once a few years ago and liked how big it was and how many desserts there were. Since it switched to 24 hours, I like it even more ➿
A 24-hour unmanned café with printing too: doesn't that sound great if you're looking for a laptop-friendly café near Sinnonhyeon Station, or somewhere to work from home ✨
What are the seats and the study setup like at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon?
The shop is spacious, with window tables, sofa tables and even group rooms. The seats for study-café regulars have an outlet at every table, which is great for working on a laptop.
Ta-da! Step inside and the interior is big with plenty of seat types 🍽️ From window tables to sofa tables and group rooms, you can pick a spot to suit your group size or purpose.
Ta-da! Even though this is a café at Sinnonhyeon Station, the mood is quiet and quite a few people are on laptops, so it feels comfortable every time I come.
Ta-da! These are the seats for study-café regulars! Every table has plenty of outlets, so they're great for working or getting tasks done while you sip your coffee 👩🏻💻
What's on the menu at Selecto Coffee and how much is it?
At Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon, an Americano is ₩3,800, a café latte ₩4,800 and bingsu (shaved ice dessert) ₩4,000–4,800. The summer bingsu lineup was whole red bean, fresh mango and purple ube.
- Americano ₩3,800
- Café latte ₩4,800
- Bingsu ₩4,000–4,800
The menu is varied and new items come out regularly. For this season they have everything from whole red bean and fresh mango bingsu to purple ube bingsu, so the timing is perfect ➿
The Americano alone comes in 5 beans ✨ Mocha Blend, Blue Mountain Blend, Geisha, Hwasa and decaf. With that many choices, it's a café coffee lovers will like ☕️
Maybe because it's a 24-hour café, there are sandwiches and salads that work as a meal, plus all sorts of snacks from cookies to jelly, so it's perfect to drop in when you're working late 🍽️
Above all, they sell lots of bakery items, cakes included. I tried the bread here and fell for it, so this is a café I love!
Which bean should you pick for a low-acid Americano?
Of Selecto Coffee's five beans, the least acidic is the Mocha Blend, and an Americano is ₩3,800. The writer picked an iced Mocha Blend Americano with chocolate notes and a heavy body.
Mocha Blend Americano, ₩3,800. The Americano is generous in size and with five beans you can drink coffee to suit your taste. I'm a café latte person, but today I came to enjoy the beans, so I had a cold Americano instead of a latte ☕️
It has cherry-like chocolate notes and a heavy body! It's the least acidic of the 5 beans, and since I usually prefer low acidity in an Americano, I chose the Mocha Blend. It went down smoothly and the Americano was so good ☕️ Especially in the hot summer, there's really no coffee that beats an Americano, right!!!!!
Is the Selecto Coffee kabocha sandwich enough for a meal?
The kabocha (sweet pumpkin) sandwich at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon is ₩7,000, with kabocha, egg and vegetables on sandwich bread, and it was enough to replace a meal. The sandwich and salad menu is new since my visit a few months ago.
When I visited a few months ago there were no sandwiches or salads, but this time there are lots of new options that work as a meal, so I ordered the kabocha sandwich 🎃 The bread is tasty, the filling is generous and the kabocha is sweet, so if you usually like sandwiches, I recommend it as a meal at Selecto Coffee 🥪
The kabocha, egg and various vegetables go together nicely, and with a light iced coffee it's a really good combo! I'm a bread lover, so I like having bread with a latte 🥪
