On a weekday visit at 7pm, the outdoor terrace was the spot for black sesame fig cheesecake at 9,800 won, lemon pound cake at 6,800 won and matcha cream cold brew at 7,500 won, with a fig sando at 8,500 won taken home. The cream-based desserts were the best part of Something About Coffee, and since popular items sell out, arriving early is worth it. ## Good to know - **Address**: 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (floors 1, 2 and 3) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:30 (dine-in until 22:00, takeout until 22:30) - **Parking**: Not available - **Nearest exit**: Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 6 - **Black sesame fig cheesecake**: 9,800 won - **Lemon pound cake**: 6,800 won - **Fig sando (fig cream sandwich cake)**: 8,500 won - **Matcha cream cold brew**: 7,500 won - **Chamomile & lemongrass tea**: 7,000 won - **Ordering**: Order and pay at the showcase on the 2nd floor *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* A dessert café is a must for round two when friends get together, and this one delivered — big time!

Seeing photos packed with cakes and baked goods, I rushed right over. The all-white exterior is so clean-looking. ![Area around the entrance of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-03-1hvo1-m-900.webp) ![Clean interior of the 1st floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-04-f2t0f-m-900.webp) ## Three floors at Something About Coffee, with ordering on the 2nd floor The 1st floor interior is so clean! This Gangnam café near Sinnonhyeon Station is a pretty large three-story spot. Head up to the 2nd floor and you'll find tons of desserts, and that's also where you pay. When it's crowded, I think you should grab a seat first before paying haha. ![Dessert showcase on the 2nd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-05-cvzhi-1200.webp) The moving sight that greets you the moment you step up to the 2nd floor. The interior is insane, and the desserts are even more insane. Honestly I wanted to buy everything. But quite a few items were sold out, so if you want to catch everything on the menu, you should go early haha. I visited on a weekday around 7pm. ![Cakes displayed in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-06-kr2ia-900.webp) ![Display of baked goods like financiers and madeleines](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-07-1r2zb-900.webp) ![Dessert corner with scones on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-08-gqmu9-900.webp) ![Refrigerated showcase with sando on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-09-1xpc3-900.webp) ![2nd floor dessert display and interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-10-1h081-900.webp) ![View of the dessert showcase, hard to choose from](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-11-m5dtx-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Something About Coffee, and what it cost From baked goods like financiers, scones, and madeleines to cakes and sando (fruit sandwiches), all the good desserts are gathered here ㅠ.ㅠ How do you even choose?!!!! But I had to pull myself together and pick something. - Black sesame fig cheesecake ₩9,800 - Lemon pound cake ₩6,800 - Fig sando ₩8,500 - Matcha cream cold brew ₩7,500 - Chamomile & lemongrass tea ₩7,000 ...isn't black sesame fig just insane.

The weather had cooled down, so it was great sitting outside. The interior is so pretty too ㅠ.ㅠ cute and cozy vibes. ![Cute and cozy terrace seating vibe](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-14-1pcas-900.webp) ![Desserts and drinks on the terrace table](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-15-13sfj-900.webp) Staggered by the dazzling visuals~ ![A cup of matcha cream cold brew](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-16-16xi4-900.webp) ![Close-up of matcha cream topping on cold brew](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-17-vwysa-900.webp) ### Matcha cream cold brew, 7,500 won The moment I tried it, I declared this place a matcha destination. The bitterness and sweetness of the matcha were perfect,, I don't usually drink coffee much, but gulping down the matcha cream with the nutty cold brew together was so good. If you like matcha or nutty coffee with no acidity, this menu will absolutely satisfy you >< ![Black sesame fig cheesecake topped with fig](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-18-1cz3o-900.webp) ### Black sesame fig cheesecake, 9,800 won The one I was most looking forward to, the black sesame fig cheesecake,, first of all it's so pretty. There's a gorgeous-looking fig on top, and the cake is packed with fresh figs inside too ㅠ.ㅠ The black sesame cream is so soft and nutty.. and on top of that there's the heavy, dense cheesecake at the bottom. How did they make this?! How did they even come up with this idea ㅡ.ㅡ Thank you so much. I'm definitely coming back to buy this again next time I'm in Gangnam. ![Cross-section view of the black sesame fig cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-19-4hgf5-900.webp) ### Lemon pound cake, 6,800 won The lemon pound cake was so refreshing too><. Of all pound cakes, lemon is my favorite. ![Table with lemon pound cake and a drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-20-1rzrd-900.webp) Nom nom. If you visit this Gangnam café near Sinnonhyeon Station, I definitely recommend trying the black sesame fig cheesecake and the matcha cream. ![Takeout fig sando eaten at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace-21-snq2q-966.webp) ## Fig sando taken home, 8,500 won And I also tried the fig sando my friend bought me lol, it's genuinely delicious. The fig was totally fresh,,, the cream was heavenly. Something About Coffee seems to be really good at cream in general. Definitely try their cream-based desserts. If you're looking for a comfortable café to hang out near Gangnam Station or Sinnonhyeon Station! Or a spot with really great desserts! Something About Coffee, this Gangnam café near Sinnonhyeon Station with a perfect location, comes highly recommended from me. ## Where it is - Something About Coffee (썸띵어바웃커피) - 30 Gangnam-daero102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st–3rd floors) - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 30 1, 2, 3층 - 37.5028451, 127.0278394 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8D%B8%EB%9D%B5%EC%96%B4%EB%B0%94%EC%9B%83%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC/@37.5028451,127.0278394,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mangwon-side-ledger/something-about-coffee-sinnonhyeon-fig-sando-terrace/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
