## In short

Something About Coffee is a large handmade dessert café spread over three floors on Gangnam-daero 102-gil, between Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station in Seoul. Orders are placed on the 2nd floor, and the showcase was full of financiers, scones, egg tarts, macarons, pistachio cheesecake and fresh blueberry cheesecake; the order here was a matcha cream choco latte, an iced Americano, a black sesame fig cream cheese cake and a choco financier. For a black sesame and fig cake during fig season, Something About Coffee is a good choice.

It's easy to get to from either Gangnam Station or Sinnonhyeon Station, so it would also work well as a meeting spot with friends. The building itself is big and stands out, so it wasn't hard to find even on my first visit. 👀 Just a heads-up — you order on the 2nd floor!

## Seating across three floors and the terraces

When I'm looking for a café near Gangnam Station, seating and space quietly matter a lot to me. Something About Coffee is a large 3-floor café, so the space felt spacious and comfortable. 👍🏻 There's seating on every floor, so it would be nice whether you're visiting alone or coming to chat with friends.

You could pick a seat depending on the mood you wanted, and there was also terrace seating on the 2nd and 3rd floors. On a nice day, it would be great to relax on the terrace with coffee and dessert. 💛☕️

## How did the four desserts and drinks taste?

That day I ordered a matcha cream choco latte, iced Americano, black sesame fig cream cheese cake and choco financier. Looks delicious just from the visuals 🥹💓

I also ordered an iced Americano to go with the sweet desserts. Great for tasting rich coffee flavor!

### Matcha cream choco latte

This drink combined the bitter, rich flavor of matcha with the sweetness of chocolate. 💚🍫 The distinctive bitterness of matcha blended nicely with the soft, sweet feel of chocolate, so it was easy to enjoy it almost like a dessert.

### Choco financier

I also ordered the choco financier. It was a dessert where you could enjoy the rich sweetness of chocolate along with the nutty flavor typical of baked pastries. The outside had that classic baked-goods texture while the inside was moist and soft, making it great to eat with coffee. 💛

### Black sesame fig cream cheese cake

It's fig season right now, isn't it..?! And I'm a total fig lover. 💓 So I ordered the black sesame fig cream cheese cake. It was a cream cheese cake where the nutty, rich flavor of black sesame was layered with the subtle sweetness of fig. The soft, dense texture of the cream cheese was appealing, and biting into the fig brought natural sweetness and a chewy texture — it was really delicious. 🫢👍🏻

This café was so good for enjoying sweet desserts with coffee. If you're looking for a large café with good vibes near Gangnam Station or Sinnonhyeon Station, or want to try a variety of handmade desserts, give Something About Coffee a visit. It's a café where you'll have fun browsing all the desserts and picking out exactly what you want. ☕️🍰
