Sinnonhyeon café by car, public parking tips: Something About Coffee

I was looking for a café with a good atmosphere in Gangnam and ended up at Something About Coffee (썸띵어바웃커피). It's near Sinnonhyeon Station, so it's easy to get to, and I'd been curious about it for a while because you can enjoy lots of desserts and baked goods together.

Once I visited, the antique interior and clean space left an impression, and the drinks and desserts were satisfying too, so I'd happily go back. It's a good spot for gatherings, dates or a café tour.

Driving to Something About Coffee: where to park

If you drive to Something About Coffee, you can use the nearby Yeoksam Cultural Park No. 2 public parking lot, which costs ₩600 per 10 minutes. After parking, it took about 5 minutes on foot to reach the café.

I came by car, so this is the lot I used. Parking at cafés in the Gangnam area is often difficult, but using the public lot made the visit relatively easy. On weekends or at peak hours, I'd recommend leaving yourself plenty of time.

Floor-by-floor atmosphere and seating

Something About Coffee runs across floors 1 to 3 indoors and also has outdoor seating. Each floor has a slightly different mood, so it was fun to look around.

This is the 1st floor!

This is the 2nd floor!

And this is the 3rd floor! The café has three floors in total, and overall it felt clean while still keeping a lovely antique vibe. The props and décor placed here and there make it great for taking photos too.

The window seats and outdoor seats stood out the most. On a nice day you can enjoy the sunshine over a relaxed coffee, and on a rainy day it's just right for a atmospheric time listening to the rain. It suits a date, and it also feels easy to come alone and spend some time.

Dessert and drink menu at Something About Coffee

One of the biggest strengths of Something About Coffee was the wide range of desserts and baked goods. The moment I saw the showcase I couldn't decide what to pick, and choosing was half the fun.

Here's what I ordered this time. I balanced drinks and desserts so I could really enjoy the café.

• Black sesame cream latte
• Iced Americano
• Hot Americano
• Yellow cheese dessert
• Mango fresh cream cake

How did the food and drinks taste?

Black sesame cream latte

The black sesame cream latte had a strong, nutty black sesame aroma. It wasn't too sweet, so it was easy to drink, and the nuttiness of the sesame blended well with the smoothness of the milk. If you usually like black sesame drinks, you'll be happy with this one.

Iced Americano

The iced Americano made an impression with its clean, refreshing taste. It went well with the desserts, and the finish wasn't harsh, so it was easy to enjoy.

Hot Americano

Drunk hot, the Americano let me smell the aroma of the beans even better. I liked its subtle flavor, and it paired decently with the desserts.

Yellow cheese dessert

The yellow cheese (hwangchijeu, a sweet-salty cheese powder flavor) dessert was charming for its rich cheese flavor. The salty and sweet notes were nicely balanced and went well with coffee. If you like yellow cheese, I think you'll be very satisfied.

Mango fresh cream cake

The mango fresh cream cake paired soft fresh cream with fresh, tangy mango. It wasn't overly sweet, so it was easy to eat, and with the moist sponge it's a taste almost anyone would like.

If you're looking for a café near Sinnonhyeon Station, I think Something About Coffee is well worth a visit. The spacious, clean three-floor layout, the emotive interior and the outdoor seating gave it a great atmosphere, and picking from the wide range of desserts and baked goods was fun too.

The black sesame latte, Americanos, yellow cheese dessert and mango fresh cream cake I ordered this time were all satisfying, and it was a good café for spending a relaxed time over a cup of coffee.
