Yeoksam Station café with a friend: choco s'mores cookie, Mini Male

On weekends I like to go to a pretty café and heal myself with good dessert and coffee. Last weekend I was meeting a close older friend in Gangnam, so I went looking for a café with a nice mood, and ended up at one rumored to have great cookies. I loved the modern vibe so much that I already want to go back: Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch (미니말레 커피뢰스터 역삼점) near Yeoksam Station. Let me show you around!

How do you get to Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch?

The café is about a 5-minute walk from Yeoksam Station, so it's easy to reach by public transport. We walked from Gangnam Station, and it took about 10 minutes there too! But getting off at Yeoksam Station is much faster and more comfortable.

I liked how modern and clean the exterior looked. I go to so many cafés, yet this was my first time here! There are other branches besides Yeoksam too. I'm just glad I finally found this coffee and cookie gem. Okay, let's head inside!

Seating and atmosphere inside Mini Male Yeoksam

There's a space right by the door, and plenty of tables further in. It's a popular café, so the inside was totally packed! We sat at a table by the door instead. It was cool there too.

Besides various coffee beans, they also sell cookie gift sets. Great for giving cookies as a present, right?

Ordering at the Mini Male kiosk

There's a kiosk right as you walk in, so just tap to order : ) They have a wide range of coffee and desserts, so picking a favorite drink was fun.

Great atmosphere, right? Top-notch mood.

How were the Mini Male latte and iced americano?

My friend and I ordered 2 iced americanos, 1 latte and a choco s'mores cookie. I wanted both a latte and an iced americano, so I got both!

The iced americano had a bit of acidity, but it was still cool and tasty!

Wait, what is this latte?! There's a café near my office where I only order lattes, and this one is better.. It's nutty and has a hint of sweetness. If you come to Mini Male, definitely try the latte.

₩500 off coffee to go at Mini Male

Coffee to go is reportedly ₩500 cheaper. The coffee is already affordable here, so takeaway looks like a good option.

Even the tissues were so pretty that my friend and I joked they'd look lovely on a dining table at home, haha (we didn't take any!). Even the napkins are this pretty.. there's no detail they haven't cared about.

How was the Mini Male choco s'mores cookie?

The choco s'mores cookie needs no words: so soft and delicious. Saved as a place to come back and pick up cookies! It went so well with the coffee too, and sipping coffee with the cookie healed me completely haha

If you're looking for a café with a nice mood or great coffee and desserts in Gangnam or Yeoksam, I, a devoted pretty-café lover, was 100% satisfied at Mini Male Coffee Roaster. Relax over a cup of coffee there ♥
