Five americanos at a 24-hour Sinnonhyeon coffee shop: Selecto Coffee

In short

Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch 24 Auto Brew Cafe is a 24-hour café and dessert spot a short walk from Exit 1 of Sinnonhyeon Station in Seocho, Seoul. The americano menu alone runs to five kinds and the sandwich list is long, so the writer ordered a smoked salmon sandwich for 8,500 won and two mocha americanos at 3,800 won each, and found the ciabatta, the generous cabbage filling and the heavy coffee all satisfying. With the café switching to unmanned service after staff go home and a 24-hour print machine on site, Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon suits nearby office workers and students.

Drink menu board listing five types of americano

Five kinds of americano on the Selecto Coffee menu

The drink menu is varied, but they even have five different types of americano.

  • Mocha americano
  • Bright americano
  • Blue Mountain americano
  • Geisha americano
  • Decaf americano

Most cafés only have one type of coffee so there's no choice, but here you get five kinds, which is great.

For people who can't handle caffeine or don't like strong acidity, it's nice that you can pick according to your taste.

I had the sandwich and it was genuinely delicious.

Café interior seating with spaced-out tables

Inside Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon: space and seating

Here's the interior space.

I might have shot it to look extra spacious, but it really is roomy in person.

And the tables aren't crammed together, so the space feels totally comfortable.

There's even more space in the back besides this, but I didn't manage to take a photo of it...

Unmanned café machine placed at the back of the store

Looks like it switches to unmanned mode once the staff go home.

I saw an unmanned café machine set up in the back there.

There are a lot of unmanned cafés these days, but running a 24-hour setup like this is really nice too.

Separate seating area set aside for group gatherings

This area is a separated space, so it seems good for using with a group of people.

24-hour print machine installed inside the café

They even have a 24-hour print machine.

This is basically a café made for the office workers and students in the area.

What a convenient café — I'm honestly a little envious of the people who work or study nearby!

Kiosk ordering and the dessert and snack corner

Now let's talk about the menu.

You order here using this kiosk.

Notice about the Naver review event

There's a Naver review event where you can get a slice of cake or a macaron!

Getting a slice of cake free with orders over 12,000 won — isn't that a total steal?

Snack display shelf good for pairing with coffee

Simple snacks that go well with coffee.

Personally the shiitake mushroom snack looks tasty.

Cookie display with only a few pieces left

The cookies seem popular — there are already only a few left.

Display case with slice cakes, bagels, and salad

Slice cakes, bagels, and salad~

Bakery corner with root vegetable bread

There's even root vegetable bread!

Personally I really love a café with lots of bread or snacks to eat alongside the coffee.

Eat a sandwich for a meal, then coffee and dessert for a follow-up — that's basically the perfect meal, right? haha!

Showcase displaying the sandwich lineup

Smoked salmon sandwich 8,500 won, mocha americano 3,800 won

Here's the sandwich lineup at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch.

  • Smoked salmon sandwich
  • Pulled pork sandwich
  • Ricotta cheese sandwich
  • Chicken sandwich
  • Light chicken sandwich
  • Light ricotta cheese sandwich
  • Egg mayo sandwich
  • Ham cheese sandwich

There were quite a few sandwich options, and I picked the salmon sandwich.

I was a bit disappointed there wasn't a salmon sandwich shown in the photo case, but when I asked the staff, they said they'd make it fresh right away.

So if the sandwich you want isn't on display, just ask the staff!

After some deliberation, I ordered:

Smoked salmon sandwich ₩8,500

Mocha americano ₩3,800, two cups

Smoked salmon sandwich packed with cabbage

The smoked salmon sandwich ❤

Look at that amount of cabbage. Completely packed!

Cross-section of the smoked salmon sandwich on ciabatta bread

The bread isn't just plain sliced bread — it looks like ciabatta. Totally chewy, and the sauce paired perfectly with the salmon. Genuinely delicious.

The sandwich alone makes this a must-visit spot near Sinnonhyeon Station bb

If you like salmon, I recommend the smoked salmon sandwich.

Mocha americano served alongside the sandwich

How the mocha americano tastes: heavy, no acidity

The coffee was really delicious too.

I don't like acidity, so I ordered the mocha americano, and it was a total good choice.

That heavy, rich coffee aroma was completely my taste.

Two cups of mocha americano on the table

That heavy, rich coffee aroma was completely my taste.

Leftover coffee poured into a takeout cup

If you don't finish your coffee, they'll swap it into a takeout cup upon request.

If you're looking for a 24-hour café near Sinnonhyeon Station with good coffee and good sandwiches, I recommend Selecto Coffee.
