After-dinner Sinnonhyeon café, pistachio cake: Something About Coffee

In short

Something About Coffee is a large bakery café on Gangnam-daero 102-gil near Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam, Seoul, spanning the basement to the 3rd floor. On a weeknight after dinner with a friend, the writer ordered pistachio cake, an angbutter (red bean paste and butter) scone, a café mocha and a black sesame cream latte, and found Something About Coffee packed even on a weekday evening. A regular who visits once or twice a year, the writer confidently recommends the pistachio slice cake and the black sesame latte at Something About Coffee.

Hours and atmosphere at Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon Station

Something About Coffee (썸띵어바웃커피) near Sinnonhyeon Station is open from 11:00 to 22:30, and I hear dine-in is possible until 22:00. It's a big bakery café running from the basement up to the 3rd floor, so it's great for hanging out with a group of friends, and also perfect for going alone to recharge.

What ingredients go into the bakery at Something About Coffee?

I hear the bakery here is made with French gourmet butter, French chocolate, Guérande salt, Philadelphia cream cheese, 100% dairy fresh cream, French black tea leaves, 100% almonds and more. Taste aside, these are good ingredients, so it's a bakery you can trust.

The bakery range is pretty varied too: cookies, tarts, financiers, scones and more, easy things you can enjoy with your coffee! People say blind dates often happen at cafés these days, so wouldn't it be lovely to have dessert and coffee at Something About Coffee haha

Menu and the signature cream coffee at Something About Coffee

The menu has all kinds of drinks: coffee, cream coffee, tea, ade, and even my favorite, café mocha! The cream coffee seems to be the signature, so I ordered a black sesame cream latte too, and it was nutty and delicious haha

Not just the bakery, the slice cakes are varied too, and everything looked so good,, it's dessert heaven haha There are lots of fruit slice cakes too, so they seem great for something fresh!

Are there seats on a weeknight evening? Indoors and the terrace

Inside, Something About Coffee is spacious across the basement and floors 1 to 3, and the terrace is open too. On a nice day, sitting outside in the sunshine with dessert and a coffee must be so good haha

It was too hot so we sat inside, and on a weeknight evening it was totally full, is this for real..? A Sinnonhyeon Station café hotspot, confirmed.. The lighting and mirrors here and there make photos turn out well, so if you come on a date, take some pictures.

Reserving the assorted slice whole cake at Something About Coffee

The signature whole cake at Something About Coffee, the assorted slice cake, is a mix of cakes made with seasonal fruit and ingredients. It comes with 8 random slices, and I hear you can request up to 2 of the same kind of slice you want. It seems like a good one to reserve as a birthday cake, with all the fruit cakes in one.

There are lots of big bakery cafés near Sinnonhyeon Station, so after a meal I often agonize over where to go, but I keep ending up at a place that's this spacious, comfy, and has great bakery and coffee haha
