On a weekend afternoon visit, the order was an Americano at 6,500 won, the signature black sesame latte at 7,800 won, an egg cookie at 5,900 won and a lemon yogurt gateau at 9,800 won, and the tart lemon gateau turned out to be a love-it-or-leave-it dessert. Floor-to-ceiling window light, a different seating mood on each floor and outdoor terraces on the 2nd and 3rd floors are Something About Coffee's biggest strengths. ## Good to know - **Address**: 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, floors 1-3 - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-22:30 (seating until 22:00) - **Getting there**: 8-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 11 / 5-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 6 - **Ordering**: Order, pick up and return trays at the 2nd-floor counter - **Americano**: 6,500 won - **Black sesame latte**: 7,800 won - **Egg cookie**: 5,900 won - **Lemon yogurt gateau**: 9,800 won - **Seating**: Floors 1-3, outdoor terraces on the 2nd and 3rd floors, restrooms on the 2nd floor (separate men's and women's) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Large bakery café Something About Coffee near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-01-b00p6-1200.webp) I was looking for a spacious, good-vibe café near Gangnam Station or Sinnonhyeon Station and found Something About Coffee ☕️ It's a big café spanning floors 1 to 3, so there are all kinds of seats and each floor has a slightly different mood — great for chatting with friends, going on a date, or just relaxing. Let me introduce this Gangnam Station café haha. ## Where Something About Coffee is and when it opens > Something About Coffee 📍 Address 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, floors 1-3 (서울 강남구 강남대로102길 30 1, 2, 3층) 🕖 Hours Daily 11:00-22:30 (seating until 22:00) 🚶🏻‍♂️ 8-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 11 🚶🏻‍♂️ 5-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 6 It's tucked behind the CGV near Gangnam Station, so it wasn't hard to find. Sunlight pours in, and the café looked really pretty even from the outside ☀️ I visited on a weekend afternoon and there were quite a lot of customers! Let me walk you through each floor 🏠 ## What are the first-floor seats like? On the 1st floor of Something About Coffee, there's everything from 2-person tables to bigger group tables by the window. It's a good setup whether you're solo with a coffee or coming with a group looking for a spot! ![1st-floor table seating at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-02-1ql11-966.webp) ![1st-floor window seats at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-03-acb9c-966.webp) ![2-person table on the 1st floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-04-5q8da-966.webp) ![Group table area on the 1st floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-05-12c32-966.webp) ![Sunlit interior of the 1st floor at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-06-1u3cv-966.webp) ![Overview of 1st-floor seating at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-07-s7ctj-966.webp) ## The second-floor window wall and terrace The 2nd floor has the ordering counter, and thanks to the full window wall it's an especially bright, cheerful space during the day ☀️ There's also outdoor terrace seating, which would be lovely to sit at on a nice-weather day. The men's and women's restrooms are also separately located on the 2nd floor! ![2nd-floor window-wall seating at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-08-nz9d7-966.webp) ![Bright interior of the 2nd floor at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-09-1jxt2-966.webp) ![Outdoor terrace seating on the 2nd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-10-g2ues-966.webp) ![Terrace seats on the 2nd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-11-1x0a4-966.webp) ## Third-floor terrace and weekend seating There's an outdoor terrace on the 3rd floor too, and I think it'd be great for enjoying a coffee out there once the weather cools down in fall 🍂 The café has quite a lot of seats overall, but when I went, nearly every table was taken — clearly a popular spot! ![3rd-floor seating area at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-12-skftk-966.webp) ![Outdoor terrace on the 3rd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-13-9h5j5-966.webp) ![Busy 3rd floor of Something About Coffee on a weekend](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-14-4q2r9-966.webp) ![View from the 3rd-floor terrace at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-15-1ynvm-966.webp) ## How ordering works and what's in the dessert case The order counter is on the 2nd floor, and ordering drinks, picking up, and returning trays all happen there 👀 Right in front of the counter there's a whole lineup of desserts on display — genuinely hard to just walk past 🍰🥐🧁 ![2nd-floor order counter at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-16-1365d-966.webp) ![Dessert display case in front of the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-17-yc0pu-966.webp) ![Baked pastries on display at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-18-ymfod-966.webp) Being a proper bakery café, Something About Coffee has a really wide range of desserts — cheesecakes, scones, madeleines, all kinds of baked pastries 🧁 The dessert plates and tongs are also set out nicely, so I picked one up and got in line to order haha. ![Bakery corner with dessert plates and tongs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-19-5wgqk-966.webp) ![Showcase of fruit-topped cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-20-jvncj-966.webp) For the cakes, you tell them when ordering and they take it out of the showcase for you 🍰 There were lots of cake varieties, and they were generously topped with fruit! The drink menu isn't just coffee either — there's a decent range of teas and ades too, so it's easy to pick something that suits your taste. ![Drink menu with coffee, tea, and ade options](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-21-pt9yi-966.webp) ## What we ordered and what it cost - 💸 Americano ₩6,500 - 💸 Black sesame latte ₩7,800 - 💸 Egg cookie ₩5,900 - 💸 Lemon yogurt gateau ₩9,800 ![An Americano and a black sesame latte side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-22-yolzh-966.webp) ![Drinks and desserts set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-23-vzxsm-966.webp) The Americano was a clean, basic coffee that goes well with dessert, and I tried the black sesame latte since it's the signature menu item — it had that nutty black sesame flavor with a rich, sweet finish! If you're ordering a few different desserts together, it might be nice to choose between the coffee or the latte depending on your mood haha. The egg cookie had a soft egg-cream layer on top of a baked bread base, and it was sweet 💛 I'd recommend it to anyone who likes scones! ![Lemon yogurt gateau with layered lemon and yogurt cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau-24-1hh8c-966.webp) ### Is the lemon yogurt gateau worth it? And the lemon yogurt gateau is a cake with layers of tangy lemon cream and sweet yogurt cream 🍋 I love tart, sour flavors so I was completely satisfied, but my boyfriend had a bit of a hard time with it haha. If you're not a big fan of lemon flavor, this one might be a bit hit or miss for you 😆 ## Final verdict on Something About Coffee Something About Coffee, a café near Gangnam Station / Sinnonhyeon Station, stood out most for its spacious layout and variety of seating. With seats spread across floors 1 to 3, plenty of window light coming in through the glass walls, and even an outdoor terrace, it seems like a great spot to enjoy the atmosphere on a nice-weather day 🍂 ## Where it is - Something About Coffee (썸띵어바웃커피) - 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 30 1, 2, 3층 - 37.5028451, 127.0278394 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8D%B8%EB%9D%B5%EC%96%B4%EB%B0%94%EC%9B%83%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC/@37.5028451,127.0278394,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-tin-teacup/gangnam-someting-about-coffee-lemon-yogurt-gateau/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
