I swear I'm only happy if I eat something delicious once a day, haha. Lately I'm hooked on dark s'mores. I read a review of a Yangjae-dong café/dessert spot called Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch and got so curious I couldn't stand it. So I went, and I was super satisfied — it was really good!! Let's get into the review. ## Where is Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch and when is it open? ![Exterior of Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch on Maeheon-ro 1-gil in Yangjae-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-02-uf9r9-900.webp) This Yangjae-dong café/dessert/bakery spot, Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch, is near Yanggok Wholesale Market and Costco Yangjae. It opens super early, but it also closes early, at 4pm. - 38 Maeheon-ro 1-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor - Weekday hours 07:30–16:00 - Closed weekends ## What the space and seating are like ![Cozy café interior with black tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-03-1l8bj-900.webp) ![Store seating with tables for two and tables for four](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-04-4tcsy-900.webp) It was a cozy space with black tables — 4 tables for two and 2 tables for four. I went around 2pm, past the peak hour, so there were more takeout orders than dine-in guests. I liked that it was quiet and calm. ## Dessert and bakery lineup at Mini Male Coffee Roaster ![New York cookies and levain cookies displayed in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-05-a8a0h-900.webp) ![Bakery display with orange pound cake and scones](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-06-1e8od-900.webp) ![Dessert showcase with egg tarts and cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-07-1wbgh-900.webp) New York cookie Dark S'more, original levain, peanut butter cookie, oatmeal raisin, matcha chocolate chip levain, orange pound cake, plain scone, egg tart, and more — this place is clearly known for its cookies. I even saw someone packing 30 of them to go, probably to hand out one each at a group gathering — everyone must have loved them, haha. ## Menu and prices ![Drink menu board at Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-08-1a18l-900.webp) ![Café menu board listing coffee prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-09-1ojji-900.webp) ![Menu sign noting decaf swap option](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-10-js1jt-900.webp) - Americano ₩3,700 - Helsinki latte ₩5,200 - British Einspänner ₩4,800 - New York rose latte ₩5,300 - Flat white ₩4,100 - Decaf swap available ## Cookie gift boxes and specialty beans for sale ![Specialty coffee bean packages sold in-store](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-11-yfrjh-899.webp) ![Display of gift boxes for packaging cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-12-15tc3-900.webp) They source and roast their own specialty beans, using only high-quality beans that score 80+ in cupping. You can buy the specialty beans in-store, and the cookies can also be wrapped in a gift box. ![Coffee beans and gift boxes on the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-13-ux86w-900.webp) ![Roasted beans displayed on one side of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-14-tmoav-900.webp) ## How does the Helsinki latte taste? ![A cup of the signature Helsinki latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-15-1ag1k-900.webp) ![Helsinki latte and dessert on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-16-rcy7m-900.webp) ![Close-up of the Helsinki latte made with condensed-milk-blended milk](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-17-125tu-900.webp) The Helsinki latte, their signature menu item, was a coffee with a clean, smooth taste and no bitterness. They apparently use a blended milk with a bit of condensed milk mixed in. It wasn't overly sweet, but you could taste the clean sweetness of the condensed milk, so it wasn't cloying, and it stayed clean and delicious to the last sip!! Instead of the usual heavy, cloying dairy taste, it was fresh, nutty, and delicious!!! ## The homemade Dark S'more New York cookie ![A single homemade Dark S'more New York cookie](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-18-y02ce-900.webp) ![Dark S'more cookie studded with dark chocolate](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-19-a1sj9-900.webp) This is an American chocolate cookie, Dark S'more, made with chewy marshmallow and rich dark chocolate. The outside is super firm yet moist and crisp — not a dry crisp, but a chewy sort of crisp. ![Cross-section of a Dark S'more cookie split in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-20-1ef1b-900.webp) ![Chewy marshmallow stretching from the New York cookie](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-21-riml7-900.webp) ![Close-up of chocolate inside the Dark S'more cookie](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-22-1qrvu-900.webp) Because it's dark chocolate, it's not just sweet — the moderate sweetness and deep cacao flavor were really good!! The chewy texture of the marshmallow was perfect too!!! ## Want something less sweet? The orange pound cake ![Orange pound cake with a fresh citrus scent](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-23-1m4hz-900.webp) This orange pound cake has a fresh orange scent. The soft cake texture paired well with the citrusy brightness. It wasn't very sweet at all, which made it just right!! If you're not a fan of chocolate's sweetness, I'd recommend this one. It was light and refreshingly delicious without being heavy. ## Final thoughts on Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch ![Helsinki latte and Dark S'more cookie set together](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie-24-9xs9y-900.webp) The Helsinki latte and the Dark S'more went really well together!! I'd built up a lot of expectations after seeing the photos before visiting, and it really was delicious!!! The cookies can be frozen, and eating one after letting it thaw naturally was still tasty. If you love café desserts and bakeries in Yangjae-dong, I highly recommend Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch!! ## Where it is - Mini Male Coffee Roaster Juam Branch (미니말레 커피뢰스터 주암점) - 38 Maeheon-ro 1-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 매헌로1길 38 102호 - 37.4620013, 127.0339923 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%B8%EB%8B%88%EB%A7%90%EB%A0%88%20%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%A2%B0%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%20%EC%A3%BC%EC%95%94%EC%A0%90/@37.4620013,127.0339923,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-table/minimale-coffee-jooam-dark-smore-cookie/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
