Stopping in for an after-party with a friend who was getting married, the writer ordered a matcha cream cold brew, yellow cheddar cheesecake, a fig sando (fig and cream sandwich) and a fig cream financier. Popular desserts at Something About Coffee sell out on weekend evenings, so going early is the safer plan. ## Good to know - **Address**: 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, floors 1–3 - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:30 (dine-in closes 22:00, takeout closes 22:30) - **Ordering**: Order on the 2nd floor - **Floors**: Floors 1–3 - **Restrooms**: Separate men's and women's - **Parking**: Not available - **Desserts**: Cookies, financiers, scones and 8 kinds of cake, per the café *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* It's fig season with this autumn-autumn weather haha, so after a girls' meetup in Gangnam we went looking for a pretty dessert café and ended up at this spot near Sinnonhyeon Station. ![Visiting a fig dessert café near Sinnonhyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-01-18pga-900.webp) ![Dessert café visited after a Gangnam girls' meetup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-02-1exgg-900.webp) ![After-party visit at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-03-it6lp-900.webp) I got treated to some cheongmo (blue-collar-style casual) food by a friend who's getting married soon, and then we went for an after-party round at Something About Coffee, a Sinnonhyeon dessert café she loves :3 ![Exterior of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-04-3g654-900.webp) ![Entrance of the Gangnam Station dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-05-1lnjd-m-900.webp) ## Where Something About Coffee is and how to visit Something About Coffee is a Gangnam Station café known for great seasonal figs.

It's close to both Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam stations, making it a good pick for meetups or dates in the area. ![Interior of the Gangnam dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-08-170ri-900.webp) ![Seating on the 2nd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-09-1smvu-m-900.webp) *2F* ## Three floors of seating, orders taken on the 2nd floor The space is big and open, so even with lots of people around it still feels comfortable to hang out in. The café spans three floors and has a pretty large-scale feel. Order on the 2nd floor! ![Ordering area on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-10-fwle1-900.webp) ![Order counter at the dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-11-n0tsp-900.webp) > A must-visit dessert café near Sinnonhyeon! This was my first visit, and the baked goods were displayed so prettily! There was a nice range of cookies, financiers, and scones. ![Cookies and financiers on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-12-1nlxr-900.webp) ![Scones and baked goods on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-13-1ljx9-900.webp) ## What sells out on a weekend evening at Something About Coffee We arrived past 7pm on a Sunday and only about half the desserts were left!!!!! Holy moly. ![Remaining desserts on a weekend evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-14-1qavl-900.webp) ![Cake display on a weekend evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-15-1j54c-900.webp) Something About Coffee apparently makes 8 types of cake, but only the yellow cheese cheesecake was left by the time we got there. It's the weekend and this place is famous, so it's clearly super popular 🤤 you can just imagine how good it must be!!! Instead, they had one of the trendy fruit sando (fruit sandwich) desserts, so we ordered that too! ![Ordering the fruit sando and other desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-16-qts3d-900.webp) ## Matcha cream cold brew with sweet desserts > Smooth cold brew meets dessert! For the recommended menu item at this Sinnonhyeon café, I tried the matcha cream cold brew 🍵 — clean cold brew topped with soft matcha cream. It's not a heavy, overwhelming cream style; it softens the coffee flavor in a nice way, so it paired well with the cake and financiers. Personally, since the desserts were sweet overall, I think ordering a slightly bitter drink was the right call :> ![Matcha cream cold brew with dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-17-1lpzl-900.webp) ## How the yellow cheddar cheesecake and fig sando taste > 🧀 Jumping on the yellow cheese trend By the weekend evening I visited, 7 out of 8 cake types at this Sinnonhyeon café were basically sold out, which really built up my expectations! Yellow cheese snacks are super hot these days too, right???ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The yellow cheese cheesecake had exactly the dense texture you want from cheesecake, plus the salty, savory flavor of yellow cheese — a nice sweet-and-salty combo. ![Yellow cheese cheesecake dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-18-1c2ne-1200.webp) ### Fig season: the autumn dessert lineup Every café near Sinnonhyeon has figs right now, it seems. A lineup you simply have to order. The fig sando had cream and a whole fig tucked between soft bread, with a subtle sweetness, and the fig cream financier had a chewy texture with the fruit's sweet flavor — super berry good~ If you love figs, just lie down right here~ ![Fig sando and fig cream financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-19-guaii-900.webp) Figs are ridiculously delicious. Everyone, go get your autumn figs at Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon..💗 Next time I want to visit during the day too >.< ![Autumn fig desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-20-kyutf-900.webp) ![Interior of the 3rd floor at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-21-1o00i-900.webp) *3F* ## A different cozy mood on each floor Inside, chandeliers, pretty lighting, and antique furniture design stood out here and there. ![Seating on the 1st floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-something-about-coffee-22-tw0ye-900.webp) *1F* We settled in on the 1st floor, and since it was a weekend evening people were starting to clear out, so we went all out taking photos of my soon-to-be-married friend ^v^ The café had a woodsy tone with cozy lighting, a different mood on each floor, and more dessert variety than I expected — it felt like picking from a buffet haha.
