Cushioned-seat café in Sinnonhyeon: ₩3,800 Geisha & macarons, Selecto

A 24-hour laptop café near Sinnonhyeon Station: Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon

Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch is a 24-hour auto brew café, so you can drop in at any hour. I found it while searching for a 24-hour café near Sinnonhyeon Station where I could work on my laptop, and I loved how pleasant it was.

It's a 3-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 1, right by the station. Access is really good, so it looks like a great place to stop when you have a little free time in Gangnam.

Are the seats at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon comfortable for long stays?

The space itself is large, and the cushioned seats stay comfortable even after sitting for a long time, which I liked. However good the coffee is, you won't go back if the tables are cramped or the seats are uncomfortable, right?

There are spots for working quietly alone and seats where several people can sit together, so it looked fine for any purpose.

Charging cables and even a printer

Charging cables for your devices are standard here, and there's even a printer, which surprised me. (If you suddenly need to print something, you could just do it here.)

Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon menu and prices

You order at a kiosk. Scanning the menu, I was a little shocked at how cheap the drinks are across the board (this price in the middle of Gangnam, does that even make sense?!).

Today I ordered a Mocha Blend (₩3,800), a Geisha Blend (₩3,800) and a chicken sandwich (₩8,000).

For the sandwich, order at the kiosk, then pick it up yourself from the display across from the pickup counter.

Near the refrigerated sandwich case there were also cookies and snacks (all pre-packaged), perfect for when your mouth gets bored!

Receipt review macaron event

There's a Naver receipt review event going on: leave a review (with a purchase of 2 drinks) and you can take home 1 random macaron. If you love sweets, give it a try!!

I used to be totally unable to handle caffeine, you know? (Maybe my constitution changed with age, or maybe I drank so many espresso martinis lately that my body adapted.) Now I'm an ironclad person who can handle a cup of iced Americano,,

Mocha Blend vs Geisha Blend: how do they taste different?

Mocha Blend ₩3,800

Selecto's Mocha Blend had a nutty, mildly sweet flavor reminiscent of chocolate, with a rich body. It has the clean feel of an Americano plus a nutty depth and heft, and it went well with plain, mild food like a sandwich.

Geisha Blend ₩3,800

Selecto's Geisha Blend is known for a delicate, floral aroma and a clean finish. Geisha is called the coffee sent from heaven and is famous as the world's most expensive specialty coffee, so I was amazed that Selecto Sinnonhyeon sells it for just ₩3,000-something. (I've never seen Geisha coffee this cheap.)

Personally I prefer a fresh, light style, so the Geisha Blend suited my taste better than the Mocha Blend.

A ₩8,000 chicken sandwich for a full meal

Just coffee felt a bit lacking, so I also ordered the chicken sandwich, which was packed with fresh ingredients and nice and light to eat.

I was happy with the fluffy bread, and the ratio of vegetables to meat was just right, so everything inside blended naturally, tasty and filling.
