Gangnam dessert café peach salt bread and 2F gallery: Selected Nicks

In short

Selected Nicks is a five-floor dessert café on Teheran-ro 4-gil, a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station in Seoul. Two friends visiting Selected Nicks got a free matcha chocolate financier through the event that gives one pastry with a bread plus tiramisu purchase, then ate the Wakku (왁뿌) peach salt bread and the original tiramisu on the gallery-like 2nd floor. The bread mostly sells out by the afternoon, so arrive early.

We finished our Gangnam schedules at the same time, so it was date time with a friend 🤍 I've known her since middle school, and days with my reliable friend are always fun ~ We're both bread-loving girlies, so we were looking for tasty desserts and a cool, spacious café when we found a big café right near Gangnam Station! ✨ Heard it was a Gangnam dessert hotspot, so I went to Selected Nicks full of curiosity!

What is in the 1st-floor bakery at Selected Nicks?

The 1st floor of Selected Nicks has way more than tiramisu — there's bakery items and even lollipops, so many kinds of dessert. As for drinks, they sell coffee, non-coffee, ade, tea, and oddly enough, vitamin drinks too.

Selected Nicks, famous for its variety of tiramisu, really has so many desserts — bakery goods, lollipops, all of it! And a great drink lineup to pair with them! Coffee, non-coffee, ade, tea, and interestingly, vitamin drinks were on sale too!

Time for my bread-loving friend's eyes to go wide! We agreed out of conscience to each pick just one, and started choosing very carefully!

Seriously so many good ones 🤤 The neatly arranged bread had a protective cover — just lift it off and load up your tray!

For tiramisu, only display models are set out, so don't panic — just pick up the model of the flavor you want and bring it to the register!

(Hehe... true story, both of us were confused by the models)

We grabbed the wakku salt bread my friend had been curious about, along with the tiramisu, and headed to pay — oh!? Turns out they were running an event 👀 Ran right over to grab a free pastry! (choice of financier, madeleine, cookie, or brownie)

It really is a popular bakery spot — by the time we arrived in the afternoon, most of the bread was already sold out! Highly recommend going early! ✨

What is the 2nd-floor café at Selected Nicks like?

The 2nd floor of Selected Nicks feels like a gallery space with artwork hanging on the walls. You can carry your dessert and drink ordered on the 1st floor and take the elevator out front to move between floors.

After picking up your dessert and drink on the 1st floor, you can ride the elevator out front to move between floors! Out of B1F, 2F, 3F, 8F, and RF — 5 floors total — we used the 2nd floor!

2nd floor: exhibition space, guestbook and private board game room

The 2nd floor, reminiscent of a gallery, has artwork displayed on the walls, and the seating is arranged so you can comfortably enjoy the pieces while you sit! In one corner, they even sell bags, wallets, and artwork — fun to browse with a friend too.

Plus a cute guestbook corner and private room rental! Equipped with a TV, monitor, and 44 kinds of board games — good to know if you're looking for a meeting room or study room near Gangnam Station!

  • Decaf iced americano

The one my friend was most curious about — wakku salt bread peach! Turns out the currently-trending wakku snack has a dessert version too! Totally fascinating. It's salt bread filled with peach cream inside, coated in white chocolate on the outside to recreate that crackly wakku bite!

(Such a fresh, original dessert, rare to see these days — so intriguing)

Classic tiramisu and matcha choco financier

And finally, Selected Nicks' popular desserts — classic tiramisu and matcha choco financier. The moist sponge and mascarpone cream are sandwiched together so lusciously, really soft! Beyond the classic, flavors like banana, choco banana, pistachio, and carrot make you curious too! 🤤

The coffee matched the desserts perfectly too — a nutty style coffee with low acidity, really easy to drink no matter your taste!

Floor by floor at Selected Nicks, from outdoor terrace to rooftop

Selected Nicks Gangnam is made up of 5 floors — B1F, 2F, 3F, 8F, and RF — and each floor has a different vibe, so there's real charm in choosing the one that matches your mood ✨

The 1st floor café, with its outdoor terrace, is perfect for a cool autumn-like day

The rooftop, Selected Nicks' best photo spot! With the open sky and tall buildings forming the view, it feels like you're abroad — a total view hotspot ✨

Besides the 2nd floor we used, the other floors were spacious and comfortable too, really great to use! Especially the basement — lots of people were working there! Highly recommend it as a study café near Gangnam Station 👍🏻✨

Spacious, comfortable study seating at Selected Nicks

Selected Nicks, a Gangnam café I'd recommend for its variety of delicious tiramisu, bakery goods, and pastries. Located a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station, it's not only accessible but also a large café, so no worries about seating — a Gangnam Station café I'm happy to recommend 🍀
