Every time I went to the Gangnam café street I meant to try it, but it was always packed full, so I never got the chance to go in. ![White building exterior of Something About Coffee on the Sinnonhyeon café street](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-01-1o53h-1200.webp) ## Where is Something About Coffee, and what are its hours?

It's a large Gangnam café spread across 3 floors. ## Sunday at noon: walking floors 1 to 3 of Something About Coffee I had an early Sunday lunch and arrived at Something About Coffee around noon. There were already quite a few customers trying to get in early. The 1st floor has tables for 2 to 4 people set up. I went up the stairs to the main space on the 2nd floor. Here's the order counter on the 2nd floor. ![Order counter on the 2nd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-02-qekcv-900.webp) ![Area around the 2nd-floor order counter at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-03-3em6u-900.webp) ![Interior seating view on the 2nd floor of Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-04-3kpo5-900.webp) The interior is mainly white, with window-side tables and larger tables suitable for group gatherings. ![Window-side table and large group table in the white interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-05-g1jzo-900.webp) The dessert display area is really pretty, isn't it? ![Dessert display showcase area](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-06-146o3-900.webp) ![Full view of the dessert display counter at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-07-889ur-900.webp) ![Counter area beside the dessert showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-08-6cpha-900.webp) ### The second-floor terrace and third-floor vintage room Open the door beside the counter and you'll find terrace seating. It was a bit humid so no one was sitting there, but it seems like a nice atmospheric spot for evenings. Go up another flight of stairs and you reach the 3rd floor. It has a vintage vibe and terrace seating as well. If you're planning something like a wedding invitation gathering or a group meetup, you could confidently pick this café without a second thought. The only downside is that it's always crowded, so it's often hard to find a seat. ## What is in the Something About Coffee dessert showcase? Alongside coffee, there are non-coffee options too, like lattes, teas, and ades. ![Drink menu board listing coffee and non-coffee items at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-09-1t2m5-900.webp) Matcha chocolate cream latte / black sesame cream latte / matcha cream cold brew. There are three cream lattes, so I had trouble deciding which to pick. Something About Coffee is popular among bread lovers as a cheesecake spot. Their yellow cheese cake is famous, and I'd always been curious about it. ![Showcase with cheesecakes on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-10-ev3ns-900.webp) ![Cake display including yellow cheese cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-11-sawr2-900.webp) Choco fudge cheesecake / lemon yogurt gateau / yellow cheese cheesecake / fresh blueberry cheesecake / walnut dried persimmon cheesecake / Mont Blanc cheesecake / fig fresh cream cake ![Baked goods display with pound cakes and financiers](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-12-ipuio-900.webp) ![Bakery display with scones and cookies](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-13-194h1-900.webp) ![Lineup of crumbles and other baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-14-wbxf3-900.webp) ![Full view of the baked goods display at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-15-10fpd-m-900.webp) Pound cakes / financiers / scones / cookies / crumbles ## What we ordered at Something About Coffee, and the prices - Fig fresh cream cake / ₩9,800 - Lemon Earl Grey financier / ₩4,000 - Black sesame cream latte / ₩7,800 - Grapefruit honey black tea / ₩8,000 ![Table set with the ordered desserts and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-16-2j9a6-900.webp) Here's today's dessert and coffee. ![Fig fresh cream cake and black sesame cream latte set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-17-17a3g-900.webp) ![Grapefruit honey black tea and dessert plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-18-1nrw4-900.webp) ### Black sesame cream latte, 7,800 won: how it tastes Not many places serve a black sesame cream latte, so I was curious what it would taste like and ordered one. ![A cup of black sesame cream latte topped with cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-19-n2ma4-900.webp) The black sesame powder went down smoothly without any awkwardness, and the harmony between the thick cream and espresso was really good. It was tastier than I expected 🤎 ![Table scene while drinking the black sesame cream latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-20-dtyzu-900.webp) ![Lemon Earl Grey financier with a drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-21-aw2sr-900.webp) ### Lemon Earl Grey financier, 4,000 won It seems like a place that's also good at baked goods, since the lineup was solid. Had to try the lemon Earl Grey one, right? Crisp outside, chewy inside, and delicious with a tang of lemon added — a great financier. ![Cross-section of a lemon Earl Grey financier cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-22-3nsvf-900.webp) ### Fig fresh cream cake, 9,800 won I also tried the seasonal figs. ![Fig fresh cream cake topped with seasonal figs](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-23-1lyx7-900.webp) The bread sheet was moist and the fresh cream wasn't too sweet but soft, so I ended up scooping it all up happily 🍰 ![Grapefruit honey black tea with grapefruit syrup at the bottom](https://img.superchart.com/images/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon/somethingabout-coffee-sinnonhyeon-sunday-noon-24-195f7-900.webp) ### Grapefruit honey black tea, 8,000 won There's grapefruit syrup laid at the bottom, so drinking it with a straw meant you get to chew on the little bits — I liked that. It was sweet enough that my energy shot right up. ## Is Something About Coffee near Sinnonhyeon Station worth a visit?
