Sinnonhyeon café, black sesame coffee pairing: Something About Coffee

I wanted a relaxing coffee on a weekday afternoon, so I stopped by Something About Coffee! ☕️🤎 The café has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors, so it was a lot bigger than I expected! Each floor has a slightly different mood, so it's nice to pick whichever spot suits you and settle in for a while haha.

Where is Something About Coffee, and when is the weekday discount?

Something About Coffee is 5 minutes from Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station! They also run a weekday drink discount — visit between 12pm and 1pm on weekdays and drinks are 20% off!

If you're eating lunch nearby and planning to stop by the café afterward, this time slot is definitely worth aiming for haha.

Menu and how to order at Something About Coffee

You order on the 2nd floor at Something About Coffee, and that day I picked a bit of everything, from dessert to drinks! I ordered black sesame fig cheesecake, black sesame coffee, an egg cookie, and hojicha choux milk tea! 🖤🤎

How does the black sesame fig cheesecake taste?

The black sesame fig cheesecake had a nutty, rich black sesame flavor with the mild sweetness of fig layered on top, making for a unique combination! The name alone was exactly the kind of pairing I like, so I picked it right away haha.

It also went really well with the soft, dense texture of the cheesecake, so it paired nicely with coffee! If you love that distinctive nutty black sesame flavor, this is a dessert you'll be satisfied with haha.

Egg cookie studded with vanilla bean

The egg cookies at Something About Coffee had visible flecks of vanilla bean baked right in, which made them look even more appetizing! The egg cookie was definitely not to be skipped! 🍪

You could catch a subtle, fragrant hint of vanilla, which made them great with coffee or milk tea! They were the perfect dessert to nibble on piece by piece while sipping your drink haha.

Black sesame coffee and black sesame cheesecake pairing

Eating the black sesame fig cheesecake together with the black sesame coffee meant the nutty flavor carried through, and the pairing was really nice! The black sesame coffee I ordered alongside it had rich coffee flavor with nutty black sesame added in, giving it a charm quite different from regular coffee haha ☕️

What does the hojicha choux milk tea taste like?

The hojicha choux milk tea combined the toasty, deep aroma of hojicha with the smooth taste of milk tea, making it comforting to drink! 🧋 It had a different kind of nuttiness from the black sesame coffee, so it was fun switching back and forth between the two haha.

There are plenty of other cafés near Sinnonhyeon Station, but the desserts at Something About Coffee are really something!! Please, please try the black sesame fig cheesecake!! I'm already planning to come back just for this haha.
