# Yangjae coffee shop in Seoul for lamington baton financier: Mini Male - By Yerim Joh (https://superchart.com/en/@ikseon-back-counter/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Seocho, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@ikseon-back-counter/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@ikseon-back-counter/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/index.md) ## In short Mini Male Coffee Roasters Yangjae Main Branch is a roastery café and bakery on Gangnam-daero 10-gil near Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station in Seocho, Seoul, and it is the first of the brand's seven locations. A weekday afternoon solo visit brought the signature Helsinki latte at 5,200 won, the handmade lamington baton financier launched on September 14 at 3,300 won, and the butter babka at 4,500 won. The coconut-scented financier is crisp outside and soft inside, the babka is tender, and the Helsinki latte lands somewhere between a plain latte and a vanilla latte — all three were worth the stop. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 32 Gangnam-daero 10-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul — Mini Male Coffee Roasters Yangjae Main Branch - **Hours**: Weekdays 08:00–20:00 / Weekends and holidays 09:00–20:00 - **Parking**: No parking (a brief stop in front is possible, but enforcement vehicles pass through often) - **Helsinki latte**: 5,200 won - **Handmade lamington baton financier**: 3,300 won - **Butter babka**: 4,500 won - **How to order**: Kiosk beside the counter *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* My first time visiting this café near Yangjae Citizen's Forest!!

I guess that means a lot had already sold out that day haha. Just so you know — this place is a genuine bakery hotspot...!! And honestly everything looked delicious. ![Drip bags and coffee beans for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-13-otaep-740.webp) ![Mini Male cookie gift sets on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-14-asdp1-740.webp) True to their reputation as a coffee spot, they also sell drip bags and whole beans! Cookies are sold too, including gift sets, which looked like great presents. ![Mini Male Yangjae Main Branch goods and cookie corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-15-1b34z-740.webp) ![Mini Male coffee bean packages on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-16-9jsru-740.webp) ## What I ordered: Helsinki latte, lamington baton financier, butter babka > Helsinki latte ₩5,200 / Lamington handmade baton financier ₩3,300 / Butter babka ₩4,500 ![Plating of Helsinki latte with two bakery items](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-17-hh32i-740.webp) ![Tissue printed with the Mini Male logo next to the drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-18-1ajwh-740.webp) I ordered the Helsinki latte, Mini Male's signature drink, plus two bakery items! The plating that came out was so pretty and trendy, right? Even the tissue has 'Mini Male Coffee Roasters' printed on it — such a nice little touch, so on-trend, don't you think? ![Plate with the lamington handmade baton financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-19-1ym93-740.webp) ![Cross-section of the coconut-scented lamington baton financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-20-a2w40-740.webp) ### Handmade lamington baton financier, launched September 14 This handmade baton financier launched at all Mini Male branches starting September 14th!!! I didn't even realize it was so new when I ordered it lol. I was going to get the plain version but tried the lamington instead — strong coconut flavor, crisp outside and soft inside, really delicious haha. They say it's a 100% handmade baton financier developed in-house with Mini Male's own recipe. ![A cup of Mini Male's signature Helsinki latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-21-u6gng-740.webp) ### How the signature Helsinki latte tastes The Helsinki latte, Mini Male's signature symbol, apparently reinterprets a memory of a soft, rich latte the founder encountered while traveling in Scandinavia, through their own original recipe! It hits exactly the sweetness I like — somewhere between a regular latte and a vanilla latte, if that makes sense...? Genuinely my favorite kind of latte flavor, I loved it so much T_T. Nutty just enough, sweet just enough, and it meets the great espresso bean flavor of their specialty coffee too — truly a delicious latte!!! ![Helsinki latte with butter babka](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-22-1il1l-740.webp) ### Butter babka at Mini Male Yangjae The babka I'd been looking forward to!! Delicious as expected haha. Kind of like a softer version of a bomunsan echo-style bread? The butter scent was great and it was just sweet enough — a bread you keep reaching for lol. Genuinely a flavor everyone, of any age or gender, would like — highly recommend this one!! ![Close-up of the butter babka](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-23-yegbg-740.webp) ![Final shot of latte and dessert on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier/minimale-coffee-yangjae-lamington-batong-financier-24-1e8ah-740.webp) ## Who should visit Mini Male Coffee Roasters Yangjae? Seeing how many locals come by regularly, it already feels like a true local favorite. It's also close to Yangjae Citizen's Forest, so I'd recommend it to anyone coming for a picnic or a solo café visit!! The coffee was so good, and the bakery items were delicious too haha.
