Upper and Under is a spacious dessert café in Gangnam, Seoul, about 300 m from Sinnonhyeon Station. I revisited for pistachio canelé, raspberry pound cake, and a mango bar sherbet latte, plus the warm wood-toned space and friendly counter service.

Whenever I have plans in Gangnam, the recurring question is always, “Where should we go?” Places that are too cramped or noisy can wear you out so quickly, but I have a favorite café near Sinnonhyeon Station that I can always count on. It’s Upper and Under, where everything from the atmosphere to the dessert quality is just perfect! I loved it so much that I went back again this time. I tried different items from my last visit, and it still gave me that same satisfying feeling without letting me down.

## Getting to Upper and Under from Sinnonhyeon Station, plus a parking tip

Upper and Under is about 300 m on foot from Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station, so it is really convenient to reach by public transportation. It is on the Shinbundang Line, making it easy to get to from Gangnam Station too—perfect for a meetup.

The exterior already has that distinct cozy feel, so you step inside in a good mood from the very entrance. 📸

For parking, I highly recommend Yeoksam Cultural Park 2 Public Parking Lot in front of Kukkiwon! It can fill up quickly on weekends or at busy times, so it is much better for your peace of mind to arrive a little early, park safely, and walk over!

## A relaxed wood-toned space from B1 through the third floor

Upper and Under is a large Gangnam café that occupies the entire building from B1 through the third floor, and the sense of roominess is something special.

Each floor has a slightly different appeal, so it is fun choosing where to sit. The warm, snug wood-toned interior offers a whole different level of comfort from the cool, minimalist cafés that are everywhere these days.

In particular, the spot around the stair lighting connecting the second and third floors is a photo zone flooded with natural light, so be sure to take a proof shot!! Haha

The tables are generously spaced too, making this a lovely Gangnam café for relaxed conversation without worrying about the people next to you.

## Counter ordering and kind service

I feel this every time I visit, but the staff are genuinely so kind that I am in a good mood from the moment I walk in. Because they use a counter-ordering system, another big plus is being able to hear about the desserts directly before choosing. Just being able to enjoy such a pleasant, spacious space in the heart of Gangnam is enough reason to return 🥹

## The baked-goods and dessert lineup

Honestly, the menu will make your eyes go wide, haha.

As a Gangnam dessert spot with such an impressive lineup of baked goods and desserts,

there is as much variety as at a bakery café. The prices also seem fairly reasonable for Gangnam.

## The highlight of this visit: trying the new menu items

The moment they arrived, I could not help exclaiming at how good they looked. Haha.

### Pistachio canelé

It is the textbook version of crisp outside, chewy and moist inside.

The rich, nutty pistachio flavor fills your mouth—it is a refined taste that any dessert lover will absolutely enjoy.

### Raspberry pound cake

A tangy-sweet raspberry glaze tops the rich, soft pound cake,

![Pound cake topped with raspberry glaze](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-mango-latte-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-mango-latte-upper-under-19-1qvfg-900.webp)

so you get both sweet and tart charm at once.

### Mango bar sherbet latte

![Mango bar sherbet latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-mango-latte-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-mango-latte-upper-under-20-178ap-900.webp)

It has sweet mango syrup at the bottom, topped with milk and Mango Bar mango ice cream. I recommend it because the plain richness of the milk goes so beautifully with the mango’s soft, sweet fragrance!

### Iced Americano

![Iced Americano made with nutty coffee beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-mango-latte-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-mango-latte-upper-under-22-6pw9z-900.webp)

The beans are clean, with little bitterness and a lovely nutty note that comes through, so they pair wonderfully with the sweet desserts.

## Why I want to return for dates and meetups

Taste, atmosphere, and accessibility: all three come together perfectly here, with nothing to regret.
