Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar is a Seocho Station café where you can enjoy delicious coffee and desserts in Seocho. I visited late in the day, but the coffee was so good that I'm planning to go back soon haha.
Where is Mini Male Seocho Gyodae Branch?
Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar Seocho Gyodae Branch is between Seocho Station and Gyodae Station, near Gyodae Station Exit 14. There are two Mini Male cafés near Gyodae Station: the one I visited is near Exit 14, and the other is near Exit 6, across from the Gyodae courthouse!
Minimal interior that gleams in silver
Mini Male Roastery's Seocho Gyodae Branch is a Gyodae Station coffee spot with an eye-catching, simple exterior.
The café interior, with no frills and gleaming in silver, made me feel like I'd walked into some kind of robot-cyborg facility? Tasteful music plays softly inside, and there are thick blankets ready for you too.
Every corner of the café is simplicity itself, and that clean, minimal feel is the charm of Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar.
What's on the menu at Mini Male, and what desserts are there?
You can check the menu at Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar on a kiosk. With so many kinds of coffee on sale, you can order a coffee that suits your own taste.
From financiers and cookies to babka, a European-style dessert, Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar is a great dessert café in Seocho. They also sell Dutch (cold brew) coffee concentrate brewed in the shop, so it seems like a good place to find a coffee gift in Seocho. You can see the dessert lineup as models too!!!
What is the Helsinki Latte?
The Helsinki Latte is a drink the Mini Male owner developed by recreating a latte they tasted in Helsinki, Finland. Maybe that's why I was struck by how the takeout cup has a Marimekko feel, the famous Finnish design brand. They're also running a Naver receipt review event, so give it a try!!!!
Great coffee gifts to buy in Seocho
At Mini Male Seocho Gyodae Branch you can actually browse products that work as coffee and dessert gifts, which is handy for reference. They sell coffee drip bags and cookies as gift sets, which makes Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar a good place for a coffee gift in Seocho.
There are 3 kinds of drip bags, and they also sell drip bag sets with several bags inside. Whole coffee beans are on sale too, so this Gyodae café is just right for coffee gifts.
The Helsinki Latte, their most representative drink, is also sold as a takeout-only pack, so if you've tried it, I recommend buying one to take home. There are takeout-only packages of milk tea and matcha latte as well, so good good!!!!
They sell scones and baked goods too.
You can even check out the coffee beans the café uses! hahaha
How do the café latte, iced Americano and Helsinki Latte taste?
At Mini Male Seocho Gyodae Branch I ordered one each of a café latte, an iced Americano and an iced Helsinki Latte, and for dessert I picked a financier with an eye-catching long shape. The hot café latte, topped with pretty latte art, clearly shows the nutty flavor of the coffee beans.
The Helsinki Latte, the signature coffee of this Seocho coffee spot Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar, I ordered iced, and it came in a wine-glass-style glass, so pretty haha
I ordered an iced Americano too, and its thick crema was impressive.
I'd already had the Helsinki Latte before, so I knew it was good and ordered a takeout-only pack as well. It comes in a plastic bottle, so it's easy to drink at home too!!
The financier is shaped like a long Peppero stick, so the look is unique. When I took another shot of everything together, the bright, pretty look was striking.
Since everyone picked the drink they wanted, we decided to do a cheers even though it's coffee haha. Iced Americano, latte and Helsinki Latte, a nice mix to suit everyone's taste!
Helsinki Latte bottle 'Flasche' and the financier
The takeout-only Helsinki Latte bottle is sold under the name Flasche, and its squarish shape gives it a good grip. The financier, rich with butter aroma and nutty, goes really well with coffee haha. I had a lovely time at Mini Male Roastery & Coffee Bar, a Gyodae Station café where you can enjoy tasty desserts and coffee.
