Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch 24 Auto Brew Cafe is a 24-hour café near Exit 1 of Sinnonhyeon Station in Seocho, Seoul, staffed by day and unmanned at night. The writer had a Geisha blend Americano (₩3,800) and a kabocha squash sandwich at Selecto Coffee, then checked out the study seats, the 24-hour unmanned print zone and the indoor restroom. The kabocha sandwich was good enough that the writer saved Selecto Coffee's contact number for future group orders at work.

Mangwon salt bread bakery café with raspberry croissant: The Bakerst

The Bakerst is a bakery café right next to Mangwon Market in Mapo, Seoul, near Mangwon Station, using all three floors of its building. Visiting around 4 p.m. on a weekday, the writer browsed a counter of salt bread, salt coffee and egg tarts, then chose The Bakerst's signature stone croissant, a crisp croissant filled with rich milk cream and raspberry jam that tasted far better than expected. The Bakerst is a good café for dessert and Christmas tree photos after exploring Mangwon Market.
