I ordered chocolate banana tiramisu cake and milk tea, then explored the second-floor exhibition, hidden room, eighth floor, and rooftop. Verdict: a lovely stop for a sweet dessert and a break from the city. ## Good to know - **Address**: 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Weekdays 08:00–24:00; weekends 11:00–23:30 - **8th-floor hours**: Weekdays 17:00–24:00; weekends 11:00–23:30 - **Spaces**: Basement 1 through 3rd floor, 8th floor, and rooftop - **Exhibitions**: Art displays on basement 1 and the 2nd floor - **Private rental**: Ask about renting the 8th-floor seminar room or party room *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## A Gangnam café for tiramisu and exhibitions I recently visited Selected Nicks, which has been getting lots of buzz as a Gangnam date spot. Selected Nicks had three standout features. First, it is known for tiramisu cake with generous portions, deep flavor, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Second, the café building has a gallery displaying artworks, so it looked great for a date. Finally, the rooftop offers views of Gangnam's city buildings. More to see than I expected! ## The way in and ordering on the first floor Selected Nicks was next to Gangnam Daesung Academy. I could enter Selected Nicks by taking the path between the academy and the café. ![Selected Nicks entrance beside Gangnam Daesung Academy](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-01-u7zom-900.webp) ![Entrance approached along the path between buildings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-02-1ujpz-900.webp) ![Access path leading to Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-03-1eech-900.webp) The walk to the entrance was a little long, but tables, chairs, and landscaping were arranged along the way, so it looked like a nice place to have coffee outside for a moment. ![Outdoor area with tables and landscaping](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-04-idz9z-900.webp) ![Outdoor chairs and landscaping by the entrance path](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-05-1ngks-900.webp) Orders were placed on the first floor, so I opened the door on the left and headed inside. ![Door leading into the first-floor café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-06-1tfkw-900.webp) ![Selected Nicks first-floor interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-07-13evp-900.webp) The café consisted of the rooftop, the eighth floor, and basement 1 through the third floor. A sign said there were art displays on basement 1 and the second floor, so I decided to order coffee and tiramisu cake first, then go take a look. ![Sign showing each floor's spaces and exhibitions](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-08-sb9r7-900.webp) ![Information about exhibitions on basement 1 and the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-09-zmaot-900.webp) The café's set menus were as follows. The discount rate varied by ordering time and menu, so check before ordering and enjoy the happiness of a discount. ![Café set-menu discount information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-10-1ehmw-900.webp) ![Set-menu information by ordering time](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-11-1x3k0-900.webp) ![Selected Nicks set-menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-12-epbd9-900.webp) There was a counter on the first floor, where I could order tiramisu cake, snacks, coffee, and other drinks. I ordered milk tea and chocolate banana tiramisu cake. ![Tiramisu and drink menu at the first-floor counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-13-1qui8-900.webp) ![Tiramisu cake ordering counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-14-ifi5v-900.webp) ![Milk tea and chocolate banana tiramisu cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-15-1aio5-900.webp) ## Second-floor exhibition and chocolate banana tiramisu Up on the second floor, there really were works featuring comic and animation characters throughout the space, with a somewhat playful feel. It was nice to sit in front of a piece I liked, enjoy the artwork, and have my refreshments. My camera forced me to choose: photograph the cake?? Or photograph the background?? As you can see, I chose the artwork. There was going to be plenty of tiramisu cake below anyway. ![Second-floor space for enjoying artworks and refreshments](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-16-1biz6-900.webp) I was surprised that the tiramisu was bigger than expected, and surprised again by how generous the portion looked. ![Generously sized tiramisu cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-17-3naly-900.webp) This chocolate banana tiramisu cake came topped with chocolate chips and had banana inside. The components were pleasantly sweet, so I did not get tired of it while eating, and it actually felt as though I had visited an upscale bakery. ![Tiramisu with chocolate chips and banana](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-18-1agys-900.webp) The milk tea also had a rich taste of milk and black tea, although it was a little overshadowed by the tiramisu. Perhaps that is why I think many people were having Americanos with their sweet cake. ![Milk tea paired with sweet cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-19-awiwr-900.webp) ![Second-floor space for enjoying cake and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-20-1al4d-900.webp) ![Second-floor hidden room and exhibition area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-21-1f6hf-900.webp) ### The second-floor hidden room and third floor Besides the area with artworks, the second floor had a space called the hidden room, which looked good for a date or a casual gathering. I went inside to check it out, and it felt cozy; since the door could be closed, it seemed like a place to make happy memories. This is the third floor. ![Selected Nicks third-floor space](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-22-4g4vg-900.webp) ## Eighth-floor work space and rooftop city views I took the elevator from the third floor to the eighth. The eighth floor suited people studying, reading, or working on documents. It was available from 17:00 to 24:00 on weekdays and from 11:00 to 23:30 on weekends. If you are interested in renting a seminar room or party room, it might be worth asking about the eighth floor. ![Eighth-floor space suited to studying and reading](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-23-9a8zv-900.webp) Finally, one floor up from the eighth was the rooftop. Its advantage is an open view among Gangnam's tall buildings. Can you see it~? I can hardly believe there is landscaping like this amid the buildings of downtown Gangnam! ![Rooftop with views of downtown Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix-24-7qgx5-900.webp) Lastly, I also looked around the exhibition on basement 1. There were some lovely works, so I spent about five minutes looking around before finishing my visit to Selected Nicks and heading home. To preserve the fun for those who actually visit, I will substitute the pamphlet. > When you want a brief break from everyday life in downtown Gangnam, how about enjoying generously portioned, deeply flavored tiramisu, art, and Gangnam city views from the rooftop? I think it makes for quite a nice rest. ## Where it is - Selected Nicks (셀렉티드닉스) - 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로4길 37 1층 - 37.4961927, 127.030907 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%85%80%EB%A0%89%ED%8B%B0%EB%93%9C%EB%8B%89%EC%8A%A4/@37.4961927,127.030907,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@fork-and-pencil/gangnam-art-rooftop-selectednix/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
