Here's what I ordered: - Green tangerine ade — ₩7,500 - Matcha cream cold brew — ₩7,500 - Mont Blanc cheesecake — ₩9,800 - Earl Grey pound cake — ₩6,800 - Salted choco financier — ₩3,800 ![Drinks and desserts set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound-16-19fmr-900.webp) ### Green tangerine ade and matcha cream cold brew Green tangerine ade Sweet, tangy, and fizzy — a refreshing green tangerine ade. Matcha cream cold brew I couldn't quite imagine what matcha and cold brew together would taste like, but the combination of matcha's bitterness and sweetness worked really well and was delicious. It had a nutty note, almost like a grain drink. I ordered it out of curiosity since it's a recommended menu item, and it turned out surprisingly good and memorable. ![Green tangerine ade and matcha cream cold brew side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound-17-1www0-900.webp) ### Mont Blanc cheesecake: is it worth 9,800 won? Mont Blanc cheesecake It looks incredibly delicious just from the visual alone. There are pieces of marron glacé inside the cheesecake, topped generously with whipped cream and chestnut cream. The rich, luxurious chestnut flavor with the soft cheesecake and cream — so good,,! ![A slice of Mont Blanc cheesecake topped with chestnut cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound-18-1waka-900.webp) ### Salted choco financier and Earl Grey pound cake Salted choco financier A financier with a crisp texture, rich buttery flavor, and sweet chocolate topped with salt — a sweet-and-salty dessert that pairs really well with coffee. Earl Grey pound cake A thick pound cake with an appealingly deep Earl Grey aroma and flavor. Apparently the desserts are made with top-tier ingredients — French gourmet butter, French chocolate, Guérande salt, Finnish cream cheese, French black tea leaves, and 100% dairy whipped cream. Maybe that's why the flavor of each ingredient really came through in every dessert. ![Plate with salted choco financier and Earl Grey pound cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound-19-1se8b-900.webp) ## Receipt review event and final verdict Write a Naver receipt review to get a free financier (first 5 people). The café is large with a variety of seating, making it a comfortable visit for anyone, and with its range of delicious desserts made from top-quality ingredients, I'd recommend Something About Coffee near Gangnam Station. ## Where it is - Something About Coffee (썸띵어바웃커피) - 30 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, 1st, 2nd, 3rd floors, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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-window-cup/gangnam-cafe-three-floors-earl-grey-pound/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
