The first floor is relaxed, the second bustling, and the third floor is flooded with sunlight from windows on every side, making it a great spot to enjoy a decaf iced americano, salty caramel, raspberry cake and crème brûlée flan. The salty latte's cream and the custard-filled flan were the standout highlights. ## Good to know - **Address**: 28 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (basement 1, 1st, 2nd floors) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Ordering**: Order on the 2nd floor (1st floor has its own separate outside entrance) - **Decaf iced americano**: ₩7,000 - **Salty caramel**: ₩8,000 - **Raspberry cake**: ₩8,500 - **Crème brûlée flan**: ₩6,900 - **Event**: Naver receipt event, financier gift for first 10 teams daily *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Main image of Upper and Under café near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-01-1eog1-966.webp) I was in Gangnam and looking for a place to grab a coffee, so I stopped by Upper and Under! ☕️ There are so many cafés near Gangnam Station that I was torn on where to go, but this one looked spacious and had a great vibe, so I checked it out. It's a nice café near Sinnonhyeon Station too — and honestly the exterior is just so, so pretty! For anyone looking for a café near Gangnam Station or a large café near Sinnonhyeon Station, I think this could be a good pick, so let me walk through the vibe and menu of Upper and Under, one by one! ## Location and hours of Upper and Under - 📍28 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, basement 1st, 1st, 2nd floors - ⏰Daily 11:00–22:00 ## A café with a pretty exterior right from the CGV alley near Sinnonhyeon Station ![Exterior of Upper and Under with brick and beige-toned walls](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-02-wzh62-966.webp) Walking up the CGV alley, Upper and Under just comes into view! The building itself is so pretty that it catches your eye even in passing. Brick and beige-toned walls blend with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and terrace railings, giving off a feel that keeps the character of an old building while dressing it up tastefully! 🌿 The weather was so nice that day, and with the blue sky and green trees, the exterior looked even prettier. I didn't expect a café with this kind of atmosphere near Gangnam Station — I wanted to start taking photos even before going in, haha. ![UPPER AND UNDER sign on white brick](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-03-dbce9-1200.webp) At the entrance there's a clean sign reading UPPER AND UNDER. It's mounted on white brick and glows softly, and with sunlight and leaf shadows added in, the atmosphere looked really pretty 🌿 ![1st floor seating at Upper and Under with sunlight through floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-04-rprhk-966.webp) ![Relaxed interior space on the 1st floor of Upper and Under](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-05-9lqe3-966.webp) ![Table and window seat on the 1st floor of Upper and Under](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-06-ji2cj-966.webp) ![1st floor seating arrangement good for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-07-hkqhp-966.webp) ## How does the vibe differ across the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors? The 1st floor had a slightly more relaxed atmosphere compared to the other floors. You order on the 2nd floor, and the 1st floor is a separate space entered through its own outside entrance, so each floor felt a little different. The seating was fairly spacious too, so it seemed like a good spot to sit quietly and relax with a coffee — like a Gangnam-Station café good for group meetups. Sunlight also came in nicely through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving it a cozy feel, haha. ![2nd floor interior of Upper and Under with the order counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-08-1j7a6-966.webp) The 2nd floor felt a bit more bustling, and this is also where you order. ![3rd floor of Upper and Under filled with sunlight from windows on every side](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-09-k3fku-966.webp) Coming up to the 3rd floor, the mood was completely different again! Huge windows on every side let in so much sunlight, filling even the floor with sunshine for a warm, cozy feel. ## The menu — cream coffees and desserts ![Upper and Under coffee menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-10-mpqct-966.webp) ![Menu board listing non-coffee drinks, ades and teas](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-11-1aiar-966.webp) ![Menu board listing cream coffee drinks at Upper and Under](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-12-lk788-966.webp) Upper and Under had a wide range of menus — coffee, non-coffee, ades, and teas — and a fair amount of desserts too. On the coffee side there's americano, latte, flat white, cappuccino, and more, plus cream-coffee menus like Einspänner, pistachio, and salty caramel. The signatures are especially in the cream-coffee line, so I'd recommend trying one of those! ![Cake display case at Upper and Under](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-13-154ya-966.webp) ![Slice cakes on display including lemon and tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-14-c5uz0-966.webp) ![Dessert display case with raspberry cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-15-c4y9l-966.webp) The variety of cakes was more than I expected! You can choose according to taste — lemon, Earl Grey grapefruit, tiramisu, raspberry — and every single one looked gorgeous! ![Baked goods display with madeleines and financiers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-16-1068n-966.webp) ![Baked goods corner at Upper and Under](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-17-17xn6-966.webp) ![Dessert counter with a variety of baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-18-1xfmk-966.webp) There were also plenty of baked goods like madeleines and financiers. With so many options across cakes and baked goods, it's an easy place to pick something simple to go with coffee ☕️🍪 Personally, I think it would be even better if there were covers over the desserts! ## What I ordered, and the prices - ✅Decaf iced americano (₩7,000) - ✅Salty caramel (₩8,000) - ✅Raspberry cake (₩8,500) - ✅Crème brûlée flan (₩6,900) ![Table setting with drinks, raspberry cake, and flan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-19-dgpsg-966.webp) With the cake and drinks laid out together it looked so pretty I couldn't not take a photo, haha. The raspberry cake especially, with its pink cream and raspberries on top, looked gorgeous, and the flan had a nicely browned top that looked really appetizing! ![Pink raspberry cake topped with raspberries and jam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-20-19e3r-966.webp) ### Raspberry cake and crème brûlée flan The raspberry cake had raspberry flavor running through the soft pink cream, with raspberries and jam on top too — a familiar, sweet taste ⋰˚★ The flan had a browned sugar coating on top, giving it a slightly crisp exterior with a soft, moist texture inside ⋰˚★ ![Crème brûlée flan with a browned sugar coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-21-4e8zs-966.webp) Cut the flan in half and it's packed full of custard cream inside! ⋰˚★ Highly recommend the crème brûlée flan!!...>< ![Flan cut in half revealing custard cream inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-22-f51xg-966.webp) ### How does the salted latte taste? The salted latte properly delivered that sweet-and-salty combo! The cream on top was especially good — soft, sweet cream with a salty edge that paired really well with the coffee. True to its reputation as a cream-latte spot, the cream was the standout here! If you like sweet coffee, I'd recommend this one, haha. The trick is to dip your lips in deep so the cream and coffee come in together! A real latte spot in Gangnam >< ## Other info — the Naver receipt event ![Sign for the Naver receipt event](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-23-17awu-966.webp) There was also a Naver receipt event running! They give out a financier to the first 10 teams each day >< ## Overall thoughts I stopped by Upper and Under just to grab a coffee while I was in Gangnam, and the atmosphere turned out to be much better than expected. Each floor has a slightly different mood, but overall the natural light comes in beautifully and the space is spacious, making it great for relaxing over coffee. The salted latte was especially satisfying thanks to the cream, and the wide variety of desserts made it easy to pair something with the coffee. From the exterior to the interior, everything was pretty enough for photos, so if you're looking for a café near Gangnam Station or a large café near Sinnonhyeon Station, it's worth a visit, haha. ![Closing photo from the visit to Upper and Under](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor-24-11gj4-966.webp) ## Where it is - Upper and Under (어퍼앤언더) - 28 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, basement 1st, 1st, 2nd floors, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 28 지하1층, 1층, 2층 - 37.5027449, 127.0276848 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%B4%ED%8D%BC%EC%95%A4%EC%96%B8%EB%8D%94/@37.5027449,127.0276848,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-at-four/gangnam-large-cafe-decaf-third-floor/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
