New croissant sandwiches at Selected Nicks, a Gangnam Station café

In short

Selected Nicks is a large café in Gangnam, Seoul, filling an entire building down an alley within walking distance of Gangnam Station. On an evening visit, the new croissant and salt bread sandwiches were on the first-floor display, and after picking a tiramisu box at the counter, the order was an Americano with a financier. With an outlet at every seat, Selected Nicks works just as well for laptop work as for a second round with friends.

Plant-decorated entrance and terrace seats at Selected Nicks

The entrance was so lush and green, really nicely done haha. If the weather's good, a terrace seat like this would be amazing! But wait — the whole building is one café, so is the owner... a building owner in Gangnam? Whew, Gangnam property owners...

Staircase beside the 1st-floor entrance leading up to the café space at Selected Nicks

Walking into the 1st floor gets you the ordering space, and there's a staircase right next to it that leads straight up to the café area too. I came in the evening and the lighting was gorgeous.

Selected Nicks, the large café by Gangnam Station, is also famous for its tiramisu. The moment you step in to order, it feels like walking into an exhibition hall lol — model displays of tiramisu and various other desserts are set up everywhere.

Last time I came there was mostly just tiramisu and baked cookies, but this time there are sandwiches too. Croissant sandwiches, salt bread sandwiches, even red bean butter salt bread. With seats this spacious it also seems like a great spot for a relaxed brunch — Selected Nicks, the large café by Gangnam Station!

Everything looks delicious and hearty, too. That teriyaki croissant sandwich looks like it'd be really good.

Solo seat facing the window at Selected Nicks

True to being a large café near Gangnam Station, there really are a ton of seats throughout the building. There are solo seats like this facing the window, and I saw people doing laptop work here too. Every seat has an outlet, so I'd recommend this as a laptop-friendly café near Gangnam Station too!

How were the Americano and the financier?

The tiramisu and coffee at Selected Nicks were both delicious. Lots of people were there to chat, but everyone had a quiet, low-key vibe, so it felt like a place good for a group conversation or just enjoying some time alone. Recommending Selected Nicks, the large café near Gangnam Station!

Americano and financier at Selected Nicks

The coffee was solid and easygoing — an Americano you can drink without any sourness! The financier had that baked-cookie kind of feel too... like a soft, fluffy pound cake. A sweet café that was great for a sugar refuel.
